Day rides in Crete

Odysseia Stables

Odysseia Stables offers day rides of 4 hours for the experienced horse riders.
In the remote country side of Crete there is plenty of space for horse riding on endless trails.
Every morning we set out on a new track, accompanied by our four legged friend and an experienced guide.
Odysseia Stables is open for everybody who likes to join in only for the horse riding, while spending you holiday in Crete.

Remote Cretan country side

We ride in the remote Cretan country side with secluded hectares of olive groves ribboned with mountain paths, trotting through valleys with Greek villages were time stands stil, ride along the waters of Lake Aposelemis, enjoy the Panoramic views while above our heads glide the majestic Griffon vultures, or canter on the vertile Mochos plateau with vast orchards of figs, pomegranates and grapes.
Hear nothing but the wind, the soft tinkle of the goat bells, and the horse shoes rumbling on the ground.
