The stables and horses were well cared for, the staff were extremely welcoming, and our guide was equally talented and knowledgeable with the horses. We loved Muhammad and Agapios! The black beach is breathtaking and the horses were super well trained to make for an enjoyable ride. I went on this excursion with a friend and neither of us had any experience riding. We had a great time and never felt uncomfortable on the horses!! Amazing pictures as well.”
