7 Horseback Riding Tours in Zakynthos That You Shouldn't Miss
The Ionian Islands are splendid, cinematic paradise. The waters are bluest blue, the sands are achingly silky and smooth. Everything looks heavily Photoshopped. But that's just Mother Nature, in all her unspoiled glory. Zakynthos is the largest of the Ionian Islands, and it's as fruitful as it is beautiful, boasting a bounty of crops like olives and grapes. Music is a huge part of the local culture—you can catch a concert or festival almost any night of the week, and you'll be captivated by the sights and sounds of Zakynthos performers.

I’ll start by saying what I feel is the greatest: the horses are well tended and HAPPY! Unlike many similar attractions, Yannis loves and cares deeply for his horses which is a great part of the experience! Yannis himself is a great guy who will offer you an unforgettable experience! The three hour ride (make sure to book early and be there before 9:00) with the swim on the horse is an amazing experience we will cherish for a long time!

We are a family run horse-riding business on the beautiful sunny island of Zante in Greece. We provide an amazing riding experience on our safe, well schooled horses from the complete beginner through to the more experienced rider along the sun drenched beaches of Lagana and Kalamaki. For the more adventurous riders, we have the glorious scenic mountain ride which includes a ride up the mountain's overlooking the island and a trek down to a beautiful secluded beach where you have the option to swim in the sea with your horse.

Amazing experience. The owners are lovely people and the horses are all well-trained and mellow. I highly recommend the 2hr ride - it ends with a swim in the water together with the horses...a unique and wonderful experience.

I did the 2.5hr trek over the mountains and Kalamaki beach solo earlier in September 2020. As an experienced rider I was worried the trek would be limited by the ability of other riders but I was wrong! The guide as super chill and let me gallop off up the hills alone & lead the trek across the mountains. ???? The horse Nana gave me was a stunning forward going boy - he was SO much fun! The horses are well trained and clearly looked after very well. The scenes are just gorgeous. Swimming in the sea was like a postcard. Great to see a mixed ability riding group have such a fab time - there were 5 of us. And Nana even picked me up and dropped me back to my hotel afterwards. She’s great company and a lovely lady. We met her parents and shared Greek snacks together after the ride. Great experience - if you know horses, very recommended !!
