and flowers, bushes and trees have created a little paradise of nature.

DIMITRIS HORSE RIDING opened in
2003, in the area called Avlaki,
Kassiopi. Riding customized for people of any age and level. It combines a
little guided tour around the
peninsular, which is of outstanding beautiful.
The
horses, some from Northern Greece some from the rest of the Balkans,
are trained to take
you on unforgettable rides along the unspoiled paths. You will catch glimpses of
forgotten beaches and a little lake. It is a unique experience.
Our
tours differ depending on your needs and experience. We have riding
tours for beginners or
kids, simple enough for anybody to take
part in. We also do tours for people with some experience;
the ride is a little bit more demanding
and takes you
near the turquoise-blue sea, where you can ride along the beach.
The
3rd and most demanding ride takes you up the steep hills of the
peninsular, giving you the
opportunity to enjoy the view from some splendid locations. All this is
waiting for you. The area is known for its cool sea breeze even in the hot
summer months. The tours run at 9 a.m.,
11 a.m. and 5 p.m.
daily 7 days a week from
May to October.
We offer a choice of a 45 minute
ride, a 1,20 minutes ride or a 1,45 minute special
riding tour. On your return you are offered cool refreshment at the stables.
Our
aim is to offer you a pleasant
couple of hours close to the nature and the animals that we
love, safely. Let us choose a tour for you with the promise that you will have a
wonderful experience.
It is
worth mentioning that DIMITRIS HORSE RIDING is the only riding school
on the island that was created with rescue horses.
The love for the animals, the care and
the right training has given life again to the once unhappy animals,
and they are ready to offer you special moments riding in one of the
most beautiful areas of Corfu. Even if you have never ridden before
come along for a new experience, come and visit us to see for yourself
what is that we offer. You will have the opportunity to meet the
animals find out about their individual stories and what they have
gone through.
By joining us you also help our effort
to save more horses that have been neglected and abandoned around the
island, and give them house.
We believe that each one of us can
contribute.
