Let the island weave its own magical spell as you revel in Santorini's jaw-dropping nature from atop a well-trained horse. Whether you're an experienced rider or trying it's your first time, you'll have an unforgettable adventure that connects you to the island's dramatic, volcanic landscape and serene coastline with captivating views of the Aegean Sea. Your knowledgeable guide will ensure that you feel comfortable and confident throughout your journey and with well-trained horses and personalized attention, every rider can enjoy the ride at their own pace. Once you climb up on the diminutive animal you'll follow your guide through the island's hidden trails. Ride across iconic volcanic dunes shaped by a 16th-century eruption to Eros Beach, a caldera tucked in a secluded cove framed by dramatic cliffs. Here, you can cool off with a dip in the sapphire waters or comb the black beach for shells and enjoy small treats.
Then, enjoy time on your own Fira, the island's largest town. Here, narrow cobblestone lanes lead uphill past whitewashed homes, outdoor cafés and marvelous little shops that just beg to be explored. A steep walk to the upper portion of town leads you to the aerial cable car ride, your transportation (ticket provided) to port to meet your tender if you choose to remain in town to explore independently.
