“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.:)”

One-hour horseback ride from Megalochori in Santorini, with helmets and calm horses, plus a cliffside caldera viewpoint.
“This horse riding excursion was unfortunately disappointing. I am an experienced rider and have done these sorts of rides in several countries, and I’m also a solo traveler, so it was just me and the guide. But starting from the first impression- the place is not easy to find, has no marked door, no office, and I had to flag down someone, who then had to find someone else, to then call the person who would be my guide to meet me. I was not offered a bathroom or water. There was hardly any talking at all from my guide, who I’m not sure even spoke English very well. We…”

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!”

“What an incredible experience! Gorgeous horses and wonderful family-run business. We rode down to the beach and through sandy canyons - galloping like the Wild West! Then up to view the caldera and through beautiful megalochori. Our guide and his wife were so helpful and kind. Would highly recommend: a challenging and rewarding experience! I miss those horses already!”

“Our guide Stelina was incredibly knowledgeable of the area we traveled through. She also gave us a wonderful review on riding horses. The horses were all VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. It was a treasure to enjoy a couples ride on such incredible and beautiful horses. This was truly one of our favorite moments while in Santorini.”
