Horseback ride from Megalochori to Santorini’s Eros Beach, with vineyard trails, black-sand views, and photo stops for small groups.
“The views from the beach are stunning. The staff does a wonderful job communicating and taking pictures for you. We went in June so it was very hot. The ride was one hour to the beach and one hour back. Zero shade. They do provide you with a bottle of water but it heats up during the ride.”
Ride calm horses with a guide from Megalochori through Santorini’s countryside, with helmets and water, plus caldera views for photos.
“The company/guide was very late. I waited 45 mins at the pick up spot and though they were friendly, they weren’t apologetic. We went in a circle on the horses down a few alleys to see lots of airbnbs and hotels. Nice scenery. Took a couple pictures. Horse riding lasted 30 mins literally and we were finished.”
Megalochori to Santorini black-sand beach: 2-hour extreme horse safari with gallops, canyon trails, and caldera cliff views.
“BEST RIDE OF MY LIFE! (I am serious!) The horses were amazing and well trained. The guide was very nice and took many pictures of us. The ride was beautiful and the sunset breathtaking. It lasted exactly as planned so it was worth every cent. I would 100% do it again!!! Amazing experience !!!”
Ride secluded black sand at Monolithos on a small-group horse tour with helmets, photo stops, and homemade wine at the stables.
“The horses had sores on their heads and on their hips. They were skinny. They weren’t well taken care of. I was under the impression that we were going to go along the black sanded beach and then said we went through a sandpit with trash everywhere. We did go on the side of beach to get to the sand pits. But it was not as it was described. I wasn’t impressed and I felt bad for the horses The older gentleman was very nice and sweet.”

“Very nice view of caldera in sunset. Friendly guides, but overall a tame and dull horseriding experience”

“What an incredible experience! Gorgeous horses and wonderful family-run business. We rode down to the beach and through sandy canyons - galloping like the Wild West! Then up to view the caldera and through beautiful megalochori. Our guide and his wife were so helpful and kind. Would highly recommend: a challenging and rewarding experience! I miss those horses already!”
