13/09/2018 - andrewrO159CA This was truly a great experience for us! We were in Santorini for our 20th anniversary and wanted to do something different and totally out of character...and we did! Neither... read more one of us had ever ridden horses before in our lives, and especially my wife was pretty nervous about it. But our guide Iana knew exactly what horses we needed, took us around the corral to get us used to the horses, and went slow with us the whole way, Iana is very knowledgeable, has many years of experience, and is very funny and friendly. By the end of our beautiful trek through vineyards, down roads, and along a breathtaking volcanic beach, we were absolutely loving it. We are so glad we chose to do this; it's something that may seem like something not quite in the budget, but it's worth it, and have these great memories of something unique and different we did together. My wife and I would definitely recommend not only the experience, but also this place Experience Horse Riding, and the wonderful guide Iana (Thank you, Iana!). This place is in Akrotiri, Santorini, Greece.

Electra was wonderful, and brought us to a beach where she was happy to take many pictures of us. She answered a lot of our non-horse related questions about the island and culture. We had a great conversation along the ride. Part of our conversation was about local wine making and she offered us a glass of white and red for us to try when we returned. It was delicious! She also drove us back to our hotel after we watched a horse’s shoes being replaced. Overall it was a great experience and all of the staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend!

We opted for the two hour experience, our guide was very friendly and spoke faultless English and chatted to us the whole way around. She was lovely!

We then headed back up the hill and stopped at a church for some more pictures before heading back to the yard.
My wife is an experienced rider and thoroughly enjoyed it, I on the other hand am not, and am pleased to say I loved every minute and the riding was not testing at all.
I would highly recommend this lovely place! More

I always wanted to do horseback riding (never had the guts to do it before for the silliest of reasons) and never imagined that it... read more will happen in Akrotiri Santorini. This is the best impromptu tour I have ever done - the vibes, the nature and the company - perfect!
It’s a 2-hour walking tour to see rock formations ending in Eros beach framed in a beautiful sunset. It’s a picture-perfect highlight of the tour. The gray-brown cliffs towards the beach radiates a safe sanctuary to relax the mind. You can just listen to the restful sounds of the winds and waves, neighing horses and barking dogs. And that is if you can mute for a moment from the interesting trivia of your tour guide. Our guide, Yana, is simply amazing! She genuinely knows and loves everything about horses. From breeding to caring to training, she knows them all. She coaches you on how to get the horses back to work as they go for wildflowers or anything they can munch on. She’s funny, witty and pays attention to every detail especially your safety during the entire tour. Oh she speaks 4 languages too! Efkaristo Yana.
When in Santorini, there is more to the blue domes, white stairs and beachside dining - make sure you book your sunrise or sunset tour with Experienced Horseback Riding. It will easily count as the best two-hours of your entire trip!
Special thanks to Ormi - the gentle horse I rode on those two hours. I hope to see you again next time.
07/06/2022 It was a truly extraordinary experience!!!! Riding the horses on the beach was out of this world - a magical, fairytale experience!!!!!! ✨🌊🐴💙✨

Horse Tour Riding in Santorini
About Horse Riding
The use of horses in sports first appears in ancient Greece, where from 680BC chariot races and from 648BC horse racing consisted two of the ten events of the Olympic Games.
Horses are the most faithful friends, companion, and fellow travelers of Man, and you will realize that interacting with them fills you with feelings such as love, respect, and trust. In parallel, you come one step closer to nature through contact with a horse.
In Experience Horse Riding what sets us apart is our many years of experience and true love for horses. The respect, admiration, and care that we show to our horses are the fundamental elements that have determined their peaceful and calm personality. You are going to realize after a tour with one of our horses, how familiar and calm they are around people, a characteristic that we have instilled in them through the respect and selfless love and care we show them.
With over 40 years of experience in horse-riding and horse breeding we are the ideal people to offer you a different, unforgettable tour, which will relax you, introduce you to these proud animals and bring you closer to the environment.
