“Amazing experience! The horses are sweet and everything was very relaxing! Barbara was very knowledgeable and gave great experience! We rode horses Barbara and Nielly, they were well mannered and good!”
Small-group horseback ride from Akrotiri to Vlychada black-sand beach, with lessons, photo stops, and optional hotel transfer in Santorini.
“The tour was amazing, guides are switched on to what is happening! Highly recommend going at a later time and catching the sunset. Horses are very calm, and know what they are doing! The organised transfer from our accommodation and back was amazing also!”
Ride Santorini’s vineyards and reach the beach on a trained horse, with expert English-speaking guides, small groups, and photo stops.
“Wonderful experience. All workers are kind and helpful. Sophia and Zuzu are beautiful and well-trained horses. No need to be nervous even if it’s your first time riding. Just follow their instructions and enjoy an unforgettable journey with the horses. Next time to Santorini, I will visit the farm again.:)”
Ride horses through Santorini’s vineyards to Eros Beach for black-sand views, seaside photo moments, and a small-group adventure.
“Cannot recommend this enough, incredible experience and our guide Mohammad was a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for having us!”
One-hour horseback ride from Megalochori in Santorini, with helmets and calm horses, plus a cliffside caldera viewpoint.

Secluded black beach horseback ride in Santorini, small group, helmet and guide, vineyard route, photo stops, then homemade wine.
“Our family had an excellent time with perfect weather and accommodating staff. The afternoon ride from our cruise was worth it.”
Experienced riders gallop on Santorini’s black-sand beach, ride canyons and cliff trails near Megalochori, and enjoy caldera views in 2 hours.
“On my trip I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy a few days on four islands. There has not been a single disappointment, many of great adventures! I can truly recommend the experienced horseback ride on Santorini beach. The staff and trainers are top notch! This reflects in their horses. A full on gallop along the beach is worth every penny. Trust me!”
