Why ride here

The most memorable sunset you'll have on Santorini.

Santorini's southern coast is different from the caldera — it's wild, quiet, and framed by sculpted white cliffs and black volcanic sand. This is where you ride.

Our horses are calm, well-cared-for, and used to carrying first-time riders. You'll walk along Vlychada beach, follow a coastal trail past Eros beach, and — on sunset rides — climb to a cliff-top viewpoint as the light turns gold over the Aegean.

Helmets are provided. Long trousers and closed-toe shoes are the only requirements. Children from 8 can ride independently; younger ones ride tandem with an adult. Donkey rides also available.

The horses

Calm, well-trained trail horses suited to all levels. Matched to rider by size and experience.

The route

Vlychada and Eros beaches — dramatic black sand, sculpted lunar-white cliffs, shallow water crossings.

Sunset rides

The most popular option. We time it so you're on the cliff-top viewpoint as the sun touches the sea.

Families

Ages 8+ ride independently. Under-8s ride tandem or on a lead-rein. Donkeys available for smaller children.

Pricing

Three riding options.

Morning, sunset, or private. All levels welcome. Helmets provided.
