What to do and see in Cyclades, South Aegean: The Best Horseback Riding Tours
The Cyclades is a group of Greek islands with beautiful, white sandy beaches, rugged mountains and lush valleys. Glamorous Santorini and Mykonos attract the jetset, while lesser-known isles, such as Milos and Naxos, are the perfect places for beach lovers. Ruins, including the 11th-century Dorian settlement and volcanic ash-preserved Ancient Akrotiri in Santorini, amaze those with a bent for ancient history. Sifnos' cuisine wins it admirers. Hydrofoils, ferries and catamarans connect the islands.

We had the most amazing time on our sunrise tour at Kokou riding. The centre has a great vibe and the owners and workers/volunteers are all very friendly and passionate about all the horses. We were matched perfectly with a horse suitable for our riding ability and confidence. The sunrise tour was magical, very worth the early start. We started with a walk towards the beach, with a few opportunities to trot and canter if you wished. The swimming was incredible! the horses are really brave and it was so so fun! we did races in the water and they made it really enjoyable and a memorable experience. You then travel through countryside and along the coastline, enjoying beautiful scenery. We finished with a gallop across the field back to the centre which was a perfect end to the trip. We then stayed a while to pet and feed the horses which was great. They also offered free photographs with the trip which is nice touch as you can leave all your valuables at the centre. we would highly recommend Kokou to anyone visiting Paros, worth the price and an activity you won’t forget. Thanks in particular to our french tour leader who made it extra fun!

I enjoyed riding with Thanasis farm so much I made a repeat visit. Great horses, great attention to all riders including catering to all levels even in mixed groups (they took me off separately from a less experienced group for a great gallop, to make sure I had a great ride). The horses are well trained and kept, they are responsive, with personality. Swimming with the horses was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Thanasis Farm if you are looking for excellent riding on Paros.

We had a fantastic two hour ride which took us through vineyards and incredible volcanic cliffs down to the beach where we rode along the edge of the shore. Our guide Yana could not have been more friendly and informative about horses and the local area. She also took some great photos and videos to help us remember the experience. My daughter and I had a great time. Cheers, Yana!

We operate horse riding tours in the neighboring island of Mykonos, and for the first time recently experienced a trail ride with the Equestrian Club in Syros. The horses were wonderful, and the entire experience very enjoyable, with a lovely scenic route through the fields and hills of Syros. We know the owner Sasa who has been coming to our riding center for a few years offering riding instruction to the local children, and she is an excellent and patient teacher, dedicated to the horses, and to ensuring her clients are all well looked after. We can't recommend this experience enough for people looking for something a little different to do in Syros.

Horse riding is actually one of the newest activities available in Santorini and we are very proud of that. It is important, whether you are an experienced rider or not, to dedicate some time to the horse that you are going to ride so as to develop the bond between you.

10. Naxos Horse Riding Club
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 138 reviews
Ride through the 'jungle roads' onto the beach. Most tours ride through the sea to a small island. We stop on the way back at a beach cafe to buy a drink and enjoy the view across to Paros or in the evening watch the sunset.All abilities are catered for from beginners to advanced riders.

We had a brilliant time riding Linda's horses at sunset in Naxos. As a family of 4 we were all given appropriate horses for our age/weight and as beginners. The guides at the stables checked helmets were secure, masks were worn at start and end and gave advice on how to ride and use the reins. We went with 3 other riders and the 2 guides with the experienced riders given the chance to gallop on the beach while we went at a good steady pace. The children had a brilliant time and said this is the highlight of their holiday! We would totally recommend this for a memorable trip whilst visiting Naxos, it was a lovely peaceful time
