Review of Kos beach horse riding with an instructor, hotel transfers, salt lake views, calm horses, small groups, and practical booking tips.
“The experience was great, when I arrived the staff were very friendly and they asked about my previous riding experience (little to none) and they made me feel very at ease. The trek was amazing and the views were great, we started around the salt lake before heading to the beach, we stopped along the beach and the guide took photos of me on my horse, after we headed along the beach a little more before heading back up round the salt lake towards the stable.

Ride through Santorini vineyards, volcanic scenery, and a black-sand beach with trained horses and friendly guides in a small 1.5-hour group.
“This tour was fantastic! We booked it last minute and the lovely Giota still took the time to make sure we had everything sorted including arranging transport back to our accomodation. The ride itself was also fantastic! A huge thank you to Maria and the gentleman (whose name I’ve forgotten- sorry!!) for making it such a memorable experience. They shared lots of knowledge about the area, took us for a wonderful ride along the beach and made sure we got plenty of photos!! They were also very accommodating of our minimal skills/experience and matched it accordingly. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone as a must do in Santorini!…”

Ride from Megalochori to Eros Beach and Santorini’s caldera cliffs on a fast-paced horseback tour for confident riders.
“Absolutely loved it, went on the safari beach gallop ride. Just me plus one other rider and the guide. Guide was lovely, took loads of photos for us. My horse was beautiful, I fell in love with him and he loved galloping along the beach. Would 100% do again. Great experience. Lots of canter and gallop.”
Ride beneath Meteora’s cliffs at sunset with gentle horses, local guides, and a small group. Practical details, value, and tips for booking.
“This was one of my favourite things to do in Meteora during my stay! The guides were so attentive and made sure everyone in my group was well looked after and I learnt so much about the area through their local knowledge. The horses were so well looked after and you could tell both the guides loved their jobs, would highly recommend:)”
Ride gentle horses beneath Meteora’s towering rocks, visit a monastery, and enjoy early light, local stories, and small-group views.
“Fantastic experience for our entire family. The hosts were friendly and highly knowledgeable. Beautiful fall scenery, very gentle horses (it had been 20 years since I had been on horseback and I felt very safe and relaxed) and it was nice to learn about the history of the area as we went along. I would definitely recommend this experience as a unique way to explore Meteora.”
