We offer you the unique opportunity to explore the surroundings of Molyvos on horse back and to
discover the amazing scenery of rocky mountains and the sandy beaches that this beautiful island
has to offer.

Molyvos is a beautiful Greek village with lots of gorgeous stone houses under a spectacular medieval castle.Many of the houses are built in the old Turkish style. The village itself tapers down to a small but busy fishing harbour, full of colourful local rowing boats.

On the ride wildlife we might encounter: turtles, a lot of sheep and goats (not wild), eagles, foxes,
birds, squirrels, non-poisoned snakes, donkeys and horses. During the spring Lesvos has a bird
watching season where rear birds migrate passing through our beautiful island.

Non-riders have the opportunity to explore the village, walking distance to the sea as well as try jeep safaris, kayaking, boat trips, visit museum and many more.

about provider

It was awesome! Rita's an awesome teacher in every way. The horses are well-trained, healthy and the spot where they're kept is just stunning. Plus, they really look after the horses well - which isn't always the case. Everyone there was nice and super helpful. I'm definitely going back!
