“Lovely tour through some dusty trails and then a beautiful beach. Highly recommend a mask or bandana for the first part as the dust kicked up was A LOT, sunset option to avoid the heat, and be aware you may cross a nude beach area but very few there in the evening. The guides were summer interns from all over and super sweet. They took so many photos from all angles and we greatly appreciated that. The new location was beautiful and the horses seemed well cared for.”

Review of Crete’s Plakias Beach horseback ride, with morning cantering, trained horses, safety tips, pricing, and practical advice.
“Ein wunderschöner strandritt morgens, damit es noch nicht so warm ist. Die Anlage ist modern, sauber und großzügig gestaltet. Jedes Pferd scheint dort eigenes und passendes Equipment zu haben. Wenn ich nochmal nach Kreta reisen sollte, komme ich auf jeden Fall wieder! Wir waren in einer gemischten Gruppe unterwegs, auf dem Hinweg zum Strand wurde das reiterische Können kurz überprüft vor dem Galopp am Strand. Dort wurde die Gruppe dann geteilt, ein Teil (der nicht so sicher unterwegs war) hat am Strand im Wasser Fotos gemacht , mit dem anderen Teil ging es dann im schnellen Galopp an der Wasserlinie entlang.”
