June – China

Had an amazing time on this horse riding tour in Crete! The farm is lovely, and the horses are well-cared-for, making it perfect for beginners like me. The family running the tour was super friendly, full of humor, and made everyone feel at home. The countryside ride offered beautiful views, and the fresh, delicious lunch was a highlight. Bonus: the dogs are adorable and added to the charm! Highly recommend this tour for a fun, relaxed day out.

Highlights

  • Enjoy two hours of invigorating horse riding trip through the Finikia mountains
  • Ride across from the legendary mountains where Greek god Zeus is said to sleep
  • Have a delicious and traditional Cretan food featuring homemade wine

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 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 in our lovely garden for a delicious traditional Cretan lunch/dinner, including homemade wine with an amazing horse view!

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 12:30 PM, you will head back to your hotel or apartment.
Afternoon slots can enjoy the moonlight while riding!
