Horse Riding

Horse Riding

Exploring the Cretan countryside has innumerable highlights. Touring the nature paths can be the most beautiful and extraordinary experience whilst galloping on a friendly, noble creature. Following the ancient inland paths on horseback we discover the most relaxing and serene scenery. We travel along the sandy coastline, find our way up to secluded and forgotten hills and sink into idyllic gorges. The sound of running water, the rustling of the leaves and the birds singing greatly relaxes both your mind and body.

Whilst galloping on our horse we experience a unique adventure. By observing the grandeur of nature we are carried to other eras, riding along the streets which horse riders once rode on and used for trading and commuting. Streets on which aspiring conquerors, wandering nomads and lords of the time also travelled along.

The memories of this guided experience on horseback, wandering the vast countryside, will remain forever a special memory and will surely win a place in your heart.

EXCITING BEACH RIDES & BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE

For your best-ever holiday enjoyment, we offer exciting beach rides, beautiful mini-safaris and relaxing day trips as well as easy beginner's walks for non-experienced riders. Green hills, goat-tracks, olive groves, herbs and wild flowers, the unique lake of Kournas, Argiroupoli's waterfalls, many small friendly villages and a superb beach combine to make this the holiday experience of a lifetime!
