Step back in time on a horseback adventure along ancient mountain trails where history and nature come together. Follow the paths once traveled by the Greeks, passing centuries-old churches, wooden bridges, and the ruins of the 3rd-century Ligonas Water Mill, a remarkable pre-industrial monument.

Ascending steep hills, you’ll reach the hidden village of Petri, where traditional stone houses overlook the sparkling coastline. Pause for a coffee break and take in the mesmerizing views of nearby Petra.

The trail blends breathtaking scenery with a touch of thrill — from steady climbs on horseback to open stretches perfect for cantering. Along the way, expect authentic encounters with local life, from grazing sheep and cows to a friendly donkey that might join your journey for a while.
The trail is tailored for advanced riders who are confident handling a horse at different paces.

    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!
