“We did this trip as part of our honeymoon as a gift from my sister. It was excellent! It was a highlight from our trip to Paros. The horses were well cared for and friendly. My husband had never ridden a horse and found it really enjoyable - no experience is required. The guides were also friendly and good company. I would recommend to anyone looking for a different activity and bit of adventure!”

8.Mystical Sunset Horseback Ride in Meteora: 1-Hour Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $72

Ride from Kastraki with local guides Lefteris and Odysseas through woods and small rivers toward a quiet Meteora viewpoint. You will pause at the Main Observation Deck for about 30 minutes, with time for sunset photos of the monasteries. Groups are capped at three people.

“Stunningly breathing! The scenery is unmatched anywhere in Greece. The two guides Lefteris and Odyesseas are amazing! They love what they do, the horses and the area having been born and raised here in Kastraki. That can be felt immediately. I booked a 5pm but the sunset earlier so Alexandros called asking if we wanted to adjust in order to catch peak sunset which we did all thanks to this amazing company!! We rode through little rivers, woods and up at a secluded viewing spot to see the monasteris and the sunset. On the ride we learned about history, natural landscape and the local flora and funa (plants and animals).…”
