Group transfer starts between 8:00 and 8:50 at specific points and continues to the farm.
Meet us at the farm “Finikia Horseriding” at 09:00 or 17:00, where you will have a cup of coffee (morning tour), make yourself comfortable, fill in the safety form, check your body weight with us before taking a basic riding lesson to make sure you feel safe while riding a horse. Then, hop on your horse to begin your ride out into the mountains.
After riding for about 45 min, we'll arrive at the top of the Finikia mountains, where you'll stop for a break. Help yourself to a soft drink and take a moment to admire the amazing views and snap a picture or two. In the distance, you can spot the nearby mountain of Archanes, the place where the Greek God Zeus is said to be sleeping.
Then get back on your horses and make your way back to the starting point. After riding for about another 45 min, you'll arrive at the stables and then sit down in our lovely garden for a delicious traditional Cretan lunch/dinner, including homemade wine with an amazing horse view!
After lunch, have a sit out in the garden of the farm, help yourself to some more wine, or enjoy a few more minutes with our horses. At about 12:45 PM, you will head back to your hotel or apartment.
Guests on afternoon sunset rides can enjoy the moonlight while riding!
