Santorini Horse Riding Tours
Explore Santorini's dramatic countryside and black sand beaches on horseback. From scenic rides to private galloping and wedding experiences.
Overview
Horseback is the right speed for the Akrotiri side of the island. Our partner farm sits a few minutes from the Akrotiri archaeological site, and the routes head out from there — past chapels, along black-sand beaches, across a stretch of countryside the tour buses never reach.
First-timers and experienced riders both work here. There's a one-hour scenic ride for beginners and a two-hour deluxe loop for most guests; experienced riders can book the private galloping route on Vlychada or Eros beach. Wedding rides and sunset photo sessions are bookable by the hour.
