The horse is a mystical, magical animal that commands respect, part of nature and its beautiful forces. One of the pleasures in life is to experience this nature in company of a horse, and discover the Greek countryside while horseback riding.
Horse farms and the people working in them – where you go in the world – are quite different than the rest of us. If your idea of a vacation is away from the tourist traps and sun-sea-sand resorts, a little horseback riding will open your eyes to some of nature’s pleasures in a country that – dare we say it – was built by the gods. Discover Greece on horseback, mingle with its people and feel its magic.
Birdwatching is an eco-friendly activity par excellence: birds allow us to understand nature and connect with it in ways that only bird watchers can understand.
