Full description

Start your day by meeting your guide at the farm, where you will have a cup of coffee before taking a basic riding lesson to make sure you feel safe and comfortable while riding a horse. Then, hop on your horse to begin your ride out into the mountains. After riding for about an hour, you'll arrive at the top of the Finikia mountains, where you'll stop for a break. Help yourself to a soft drink, or fruit, and take a moment to admire the amazing views and snap a picture or two. In the distance, you can spot the nearby mountain of Archanes, the place where the Greek God Zeus is said to be sleeping. Then get back on your horses and make your way back to the starting point. After riding for about another hour, you'll arrive at the stables and then sit down for a delicious traditional Cretan lunch, including homemade wine. After lunch, have a seat out in the garden of the farm, help yourself to some more wine, or enjoy a few more minutes with our horses. At about 12:45 PM, you will head back to your hotel or apartment.

It was an amazing experience. The guide Irene is really nice and made sure to communicate really well about the pi k instructions. as we got there everyone on site was super nice and helpful. The best part is that you get to interact with the horses and learn more about them and their personalities. during the ride the view is amazing and there’s always someone close by helping you if needed. All in all was the best experience and I strongly recommend it.

We got picked up right in front of our stay by the men who was going to teach us how to ride horses. He was very friendly en did a very good job at explaining how to manage your horse. We went on a beautiful trail with the horses and were guided by very kind guides. After the ride there was a lunch provided by the family that organised the horse riding. The food was great and we got some self-made wine & raki as well. The atmosphere was very familial and we loved the people and the ride. Definitely something I would recomend!!!
