Brilliant time. First time riding and the team and horses could not be more friendly and helpful. The horses are really well looked after and you can feel the passion for horses from The guides. A really worthwhile day and highly recommend.

Full description

Embark on a horse riding adventure in Santorini. Glide along the shores of Vlichada on horseback and take in the views of this volcanic beach. Stop for photos and enjoy the support of an on-hand guide.
Begin your horse riding adventure by having an expert show you the basics with all the necessary equipment. After starting your journey at the magical dunes of Caldera Beach, head to the Santorini fields to admire the unblemished beauty of nature, taking in panoramic views of the Aegean Sea.
Next, your path will lead you to the black beach of Vlichada, where you’ll ride along the shoreline dipping in and out of the water’s edge. Here you’ll have the chance to stop and take photos of the surrounding landscape and appreciate the picturesque sand dunes all around.

Finally, you’ll continue along a route that takes you back to your stable, finishing your journey where you began but enriched with memories that will last a lifetime.

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience horseback riding to the beach in Santorini! From the moment we arrived, the team was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. Their passion for what they do really shows—not only in how well they care for the horses, but also in how much attention they give to each guest. The ride itself was magical. The scenery was stunning, with breathtaking views as we made our way down to the beach. Riding along the shore with the waves crashing nearby was a dream come true. The horses were gentle, well-trained, and clearly well-loved. Whether you're an experienced rider or a complete beginner, this is an experience you won’t want to miss. Thank you again to the amazing team for making our time in Santorini even more special. We left with beautiful memories and huge smiles!
