The romantic feeling, the close connection to nature and these prideful animals, the stunning views of the amazing Santorini landscape, and the feeling of freedom while riding your horse, are elements that make this Horse Riding tour an experience worth living!

The professional staff is ready to meet you at our stables and get you acquainted with the finest breeds of horses and mules while meeting and choosing your new riding friend, your beautiful horse, or your mule, and starting your journey together. Learn the basic techniques and get important guidelines before riding in the amazing Santorini landscape. Get the necessary riding equipment and let’s ride together!

Choose between a 45-minute or a 1-hour and 30-minute riding experience and enjoy every minute of it! The excursion will start from the peaceful village of Megalochori, located on the west side of the island. Megalochori remains a traditional village, keeping a simple and calm ambiance, as well as graphic architecture. Paved narrow streets, beautiful churches, squares in the middle of the village, as well as small fields and vineyards, create a beautiful setting! Ride on its stone-paved streets, pass through its local vineyards, and explore the whole village on your horse or mule! You will see such amazing images that you will remember your ride forever!

The riding trail will lead you to the stunning Caldera of Santorini! Follow the path and admire the astounding view of the Volcano on the opposite and the Aegean Sea. The two volcanic islands of Palaia Kameni and Nea Kameni in the middle of the sea, as well as the panoramic view of the whole island, are unique spectacles that will leave you speechless! Get a different perspective of the Caldera villages from the south part of the island, marvel at the small white-colored houses on the top of the huge cliffs, and get ready to take the most amazing photos of your holidays on Santorini island!

If you choose your ride in the afternoon, a magic moment awaits at the end of the tour, the breathtaking sunset of Santorini! Stop for a while and watch the beautiful colours of the sky and the course of the sun until you watch it disappear into the sea. It will be a precious sight!

After this unique small journey, you will follow the path back to the stables, where the activity ends with the sweetest memories!

Join along with your partner, or your family and children, in an adventure with the most beautiful and respectful animals, in the most amazing background!

Horse ride at the traditional village and caldera

A great experience! We went too early so we didn’t get to witness the sunset but overall the ride was fun and the horse were so clean and kind

Great experience!

It’s been a while since I’ve been on a horse, so I was nervous at first, but it quickly came back to me. This was a bucket list experience for sure! The terrain on the way to the Caldera and back can be steep and it is not a super smooth ride so if someone is new to riding horses or nervous on a horse I might not recommend it. The guide uses leads to keep the horses together so don’t worry about needing to steer a horse. It doesn’t require a lot of experience just being comfortable around horses. The guide took several photos for us at the Caldera and it was great. You will definitely need to arrange a transfer to and from the site as it is not close to town or taxi stands.
