Join an exceptional 1.5-hour horse-riding excursion across the stunning Black Sandy Beach! Experience the thrill of going for a ride with a horse along the shoreline, feeling the wind in your hair and the sand beneath your feet! As you ride, take in the breathtaking scenery of the rugged coastline, the deep blue sea, and the distant mountains. The expert guide, who will accompany you, will provide you with all the necessary safety equipment and will show you some first techniques on how to ride a horse, regardless of an enjoyable riding lifetime experience!

Continue along the southern trails that will take you to the private Eros Beach, all while appreciating the paths created by the island’s significant eruption that gave rise to its formation. During your memorable horse ride, observe the small canyons and beautiful valleys etched into the volcanic rock and admire the one-of-a-kind Santorini scenery!

The route culminates at Eros Beach, which features a lengthy black shore with striking Cliff formations serving as a stunning backdrop! Navigate along the beach and then proceed toward the hilltop to relish the panoramic sea vistas and its surrounding trails. En route, you will have the privilege to capture monumental pictures of yourself and your new friend, your horse, at various majestic spots, immortalizing all the remarkable moments!

As the sun sets, you can witness the enchanting sunset on the way back to the stables and be delighted by the prepossessing colors of the sky! Conclusively, kindly let us suggest you wear comfortable pants or leggings and team them up with shoes that cover your toes!

Amazing experience even in the cold’

This was an amazing experience even in the wind and cold with our family. The guides were so wonderful, the horses beautiful and respectful of all experience levels. They let my daughter who is experienced as a rider stay back at the end at the beach to gallop back home… she was in Heaven!!! Mohammed was beautiful and very informative as we rode around and to be honest in the winter time it’s the only way to see the black beach. Highly recommend - and if you get a transfer with them to the stables make sure to ask for the little winery tasting on the way back!

Amazing horse riding experience

Our guide was awesome and well educated. It was our first time horse riding and we felt safe the entire time. Horses were also well taken care off and we loved that they had a weight limit for the horses- shows the amount of care and love these horses experience. Would 100% do this tour again if in Santorini.
