Had a lovely ride through the mountains lead by the lovely Bo (fantastic guide, lovely to meet you!). The stables are beautiful and most importantly the horses are cared for superbly. Was surprised to find the stables also has a restaurant, I did not eat here but it looks beautiful! Views and scenery are amazing, staff are caring and attentive. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you for a wonderful day Bo, Sabine and Manolis!

My daughter loves horse riding so decided to visit riding academy of Crete - horses were well taken care off and stables were clean. Ride to the beach was approx 15 minutes to get there and return and about 20 minutes up and down on the beach with canter / gallops. Beach is quite stony but nice, as daughter was riding dad followed on foot to take pictures. After the ride my daughter had 45 minutes jumping lesson which she loved, instructor is very patient and gave some expert advice to improve her technique. Well worth the 100 euro Location is a little tricky to find but well worth the effort !

Today I visited the stable and went for a great ride through the stunning landscape. It was wonderful, the horses are in a great shape and the personnel is very caring too. Besides this we were treated with much hospitality, so this place is highly recommendable!
