Horse riding and daily trekking are a lovely change of pace. Guests with a hire car can drive themselves to the riding stables or we can arrange a mini-bus transfer for guests without a car. Because of the heat there are early morning or evening rides, as well as a nature walk for beginners, medium and advanced rides, and a beach ride. Tickets are available from the Villas Crete Holidays Office in Almyrida.
