Explore the Finikia and Giouchtas mountains on a take a breaking horseback ride that shows you the natural wonders of Crete. Trot across the landscape on a docile mount and take in charming rural vistas before indulging in a delicious lunch.

Start with a briefing from your attentive local guide before you embark on your memorable riding adventure. Choose from a selection of quality horses, ranging from challenging to gentle, as your guide helps you find the steed that fits your level of experience.

Hop into the saddle to meander along winding trails toward the mountain slopes of Finikia as your guide shares interesting facts about the history and natural features of the region. Admire the serene surroundings, breathe in the scent of pine and olive trees, and take in the beauty of the landscape.
