June 12, 2021 Misti Hsu

On the Aegean's eastern, edge the Dodecanese present perfect Greek vistas of whitewashed walls, turquoise blue skies and seas. Island-hopping by ferry, hydrofoil or catamaran is a splendid way to get into the leisurely pace. Once docked, you'll find many of these twelve idyllic islands are easily explored on foot. Don't miss Rhodes' Acropolis, the ruins of ancient Kamiros and Valley of the Butterflies or Kos' Askepion ruins. Tiny Patmos is known for the cave of St. John of the Apocalypse.

Myself and my partner booked the 2 hour sunset ride as soon as we arrived in Kos, we had emailed prior to going but were kindly advised to check in nearer the date as the weather is unpredictable in late October. Understandable as we have had days of rain during our stay. They gave us a choice of 3 different days to suit our needs which was perfect. The stables arranged a transfer from our hotel much cheaper than any service on the island, given it was a good 15 minutes away from our hotel, so we were much more at ease for this. On arrival, we could see animals freely roaming, we weren't sure if they belonged to the stables but we thought it was a really nice environment for them. There was also a handful of cats and dogs at the stable with wonderful natures which we were told were rescues. This goes to show their love for animals we thought. All the horses appeared very well looked after, groomed, healthy and well natured with people. The stable was also clean and well maintained. We were offered free cold drinks before and after the ride which was a nice touch we didn't expect. Before the ride, we were provided with good quality boots, gloves, riding hats, jodhpurs, riding crops and bumbags to hold phones for picture taking. All sizes were offered and a private changing area was available. This made us feel a lot more prepared for every eventuality. My partner is an experienced rider and she was given respect with her horse. Myself on the other hand, I was a bag of nerves with zero experience. I felt they selected a horse that suited me perfectly as he was very patient and well behaved. He could probably tell I didn't have a clue what I was doing. Throughout the ride we transitioned between walk, trot and canter which were nicely spaced out to allow us to get to grips with our horses. The man leading the group, (I didn't catch his name), identified straight away that I needed a little bit of instruction and he was there for me just the right amount without singling me out. He also looked after every member of the group individually, he knew my partner was a lot more comfortable so gave her the freedom to follow the group. We were in a group of 8 with 2 members of staff who led us to the beach through the dunes at varying paces where we were able to see the sunset on a slow walk back. Finally, the couple running the stable were very warm and friendly and spoke fantastic English. They both put us at ease and gave us the best aspect of our holiday - even from me who has never rode before or even considered it!! Thanks Salt Lake Stables - Josh and Caitlin

It is obvious that visitors seek to explore the beauty of a destination and make new friends there. Most tourist packages offer rather the “fast food” experience with no personal contact. In our team we think that we can offer the services needed by a traveler rather than the typical tourist. We offer daily tours with actvities - Horse riding, Scuba diving, Climbing, Sailing, Archery, Kayking - traditional tastes. We want you to experience a different side of Rhodes, the one we local explorers enjoy, as we know the real beauty of our island.

The zone is protected by European Union (Natura 2000) and the landscape is ideal for those seeking to enjoy the peace and quiet and the beauty of nature.

George and Monica, the owners of Kardamena horse riding centre, stole our hearts! This duo clearly love horses, love Kos, and love showing off these two passions on breathtaking horse treks into the beautiful mountains overlooking the beaches. Me being an experienced horse rider, but my husband having never tried before, we were a bit apprehensive as to how a trek with us would go (how we would both enjoy as we were completely different levels) but George guided us on the most breathtaking trip through the hills, resulting in views across the island, and seeing wildlife and beautiful Greek nature at its finest. Being an animal lover i am always apprehensive at doing ‘animal’ activities as I fear such animals are not always well treated, but it was clear immediately when we stepped into this centre that each and every horse is well fed, well cared for, and loved. We would highly recommend!

Horse Riding To The Beach

Reviewed By meighanjoanne40 - West Sussex, United Kingdom

Totally loved my horse yiayia she gets easily spooked but i can control her.any novices though please learn how to hold the reins not up in the air. Have lessons before you ride out. Apart from that very friendly staff, worth the money and Roxanne thank you for making Lisa feel safe on Abiss. And thank you Demitris for excellent service. But i think people are not experienced put them in the paddock first to see there riding levels as i felt that Claus on Rebecca was not safe, he nearly fell off.
