Myself and my 14 year old daughter went riding for the second year with Marie at Akrotiri Horse riding farm at the end of August. We had a fantastic mornings ride. I can not recommend the trip highly enough, it is a fantastic way to see the beautiful scenery that Zante has to offer. Marie really looks after her horses well and they obviously enjoy what they do.
As promised here are a couple of pictures that were taken last year. I didn't take any this year, sorry. A big thank you to
Marie's' Scottish helper, she was a great guide. No doubt, we will come back for another ride if we come to Tsilivi next year.
Thanks again Marie for a memorable morning. Ange and Amy

Had read reviews on the Akrotiri Horse Riding on this website and wanted to definitely give it a try when we got there. Got the number of a poster which were put up everywhere. Marie came and picked us up from our hotel and took us just outside the town to where the horses were kept.
It is a really nice part of the country side. The horses were all extremely well kept, especially when you see some of
the others around the town and they were all very well trained and easily managed. It is a really nice start to your day
and we would have liked to go back again before we left but just didn't have time.

Well done Maria! We thoroughly enjoyed our trek with you, and your little Scottish helper. The ride was comfortable on,
what were obviously, well cared for and loved horses. My nine year old daughter fell in love with Phoebe and felt confident
on her, especially as she received praise and support all the way round, and I was more than happy to bring up the rear on
Montana - even when she decided at one point that food was more important!! In our party we had people of varying experience
and this was carefully considered. We had a wonderful trek through peaceful surroundings (NO ROADS!) - just the job to start
off the day! Also happy to accommodate a party of 6 at the last minute too!! Most definitely recommended and when we return
to Tsilivi we will book again. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Would definitely recommend a trek with AKROTIRI horse riding....had a fantastic hour up there , early evening it was cooler
and lovely to be in the olive groves. Marie runs a fabulous stables, the horses are well cared for, and they are bullet
proof for the inexperienced .Non riders are led by girls who love the horses. My six year old is still telling everyone
about her experience . I will be booking another trek as soon as I return.

We had a lovely evening trek in July - great scenery. Hubbie and 2 kids had hardly ridden before and were given horses
to suit there lack of ability. We were really glad to have booked a trek with Marie and will be back next year for another
shot! The horses are all well looked after by Marie and her troupe of helpers. Thanks for the pick-up and drop off. I
recommend this adventure to anyone!

We booked to visit Marie's farm (via Tony at Dionysus - v. helpful. Cost 20 Euros per hour and Marie will collect you and drop you back - not inc in the hour's ride). Marie was friendly and very competent (she had a baby boy, by the way). I rode Xena who seemed to be a bit frisky! Overall she was fine (just liked to stop and nibble anything in her way - we were probably well matched actually). Very relaxing ride. My fella's not ridden and he really enjoyed it too. Did feel a bit saddle sore the next day though!
Was one of the highlights of our holiday - if you think you might want to go, definitely do! I felt safe, looked after
(despite Xena offroading to various bushes to nibble every now and then!) and thought the horses looked happy and well.

FANTASTIC ... An absolute must ... totally agree with the last comments. The views were brilliant. Jo Jo the horse I rode
was brilliant, well tempered and lovely, my boyfriend got Baby, ah bless, he's not to experienced. Maria was great she matched
the horses perfectly. It was more than a ride, it was a total experience.

Excellent. Arrived back in the UK on the 29th Sept. I've never even touched a horse before so this was a great experience
for me. I was given Iraklis. I think he knew I was a novice and took advantage of my inexperience. Great trek though with
some great views. Highly recommended thanx!
