Meeting info Meeting point at Santorini Horse Riding
Whether you are a seasoned rider or new to the sport, the experience of bonding with a magnificent animal and exploring new terrain on horseback is truly unique!

Your adventure begins at the stables on the hilltop of Vlychada with the friendly team guiding you on a magical Private ride. After a brief safety and riding instruction, you'll meet the horses and set off through Santorini's stunning landscape towards Eros Beach. Riding along the beach and its steep volcanic cliffs, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the turquoise sea. Eros Beach is renowned for its tranquil setting, perfect to unwind in, while as you ride along, you will experience stunning scenery with high volcanic cliffs that will delight a photographer's eye. There will also be many opportunities to capture beautiful photos of yourself and your horse.

Then, your journey continues through the beautiful traditional village of Megalochori, with its charming Cycladic architecture. Enjoy the timeless beauty of white-washed buildings, blue-domed churches, and narrow streets, and walk with the horses through the extensive vineyards of the island that surround the village before heading towards the Caldera cliffs. The cliffs, formed by volcanic eruptions ages ago, offer among the island's most spectacular vistas, as the view of the enormous rocks falling away into the glinting waters beneath is simply stunning. While standing on the clifftop, you can appreciate the sparkling morning sunlight on the water, while when the sun goes down, you can enjoy the alluring sunset over the Caldera!

During the ride, you will have the chance to capture amazing photographs of you and your horse (photo-shooting by the guide with your cellphone) at the most noteworthy locations to snap the unforgettable moments of your experience! It is also recommended that you put on pants or leggings that are comfortable and pair them with closed-toed shoes!


Don't miss this opportunity to become one with nature and view Santorini in a truly special way! Saddle up, let Santorini's beauty surround you, and create memories to last a lifetime!

Amazing

I took the Caldera Horseback Excursion and love every second. The trainer’s take a few minutes to go over certain commands and rules so there is no need to be worried. The horses are well mannered and the tour guides make stops and get great pictures for you to share. 5star no doubt!
