This was such an amazing and relaxing experience. I went alone, and would recommend this experience to anyone going to Santorini solo. The horses were beautiful and as someone who has only ridden a horse a couple of times, Alex made it so easy for me to get back into the swing of things! The owners are extremely, extremely kind and extremely welcoming, and I enjoyed conversing with them and getting to know them. 100% recommend and will be returning when I come back to Santorini.

Honeymoon ride!
Alexa_M, May 2024
We had a great day with Manos and his horses! Manos is a retired jockey who now tends to his horses in Santorini. His and his brother’s horses are well looked after and trained properly. You can really tell Manos knows all of them very well. After our safety brief, we were off to the beach! Our ride on the beach was great and Manos took many picture and videos that came out well! He was very good at guiding my horse since I have little riding experience. I felt very safe and thought our ride was fun. Santorini has so many other excursions and I thought this horseback ride on the beach would be something different and it was! It was a great addition to our honeymoon!
Amazing experience from amazing people

It was an Awesome day.

I rode Xenia during my Horseback riding excursion on the Black sand beach. Two Greek brothers run the Efippos riding company and both are very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced with horses. One of the brothers is a former prize winning Jockey and both have been involved with horses for most of their lives. They take Excellent care of she horses and took excellent care of us four guest riders today (3 May 2024). They gave us good instructions took nice pictures of us on the horses. My Favorite riding experience. Lynwood
Amazing time!
Shannon_C, Apr 2024
What an amazing time! Alex and Manos were some of the friendliest people we have ever met and loved to share their knowledge of Santorini and Greece with us, including their own stories. They made us feel extremely comfortable on our tour (which ended up being private). You can tell they truly love their horses and what they do. I absolutely would recommend this to everyone!
A great experience
Sara_G, Apr 2024
The brothers who own the service are very personable and knowledgeable and care for the horses very well. My teenage daughter and I had just a little riding experience before and they were helpful for our level as well as for another guest who had been a competitive rider.
Absolutely amazing!!
Erik_H, Apr 2024
We had an INCREDIBLE experience!! Alex and Amani’s (our tour guides) were fantastic, this was my first time ever riding a horse and they made it so easy and made me feel so comfortable! I rode on Thor, and he was great, so funny. My fiancé rode on Zena, he also loved her. Such a great time!!
Unforgettable Experiences
Porchia_P, Apr 2024
By far one of the most unforgettable experiences here in Greece. It’s been a dream of mine to ride horses on the black sands of Santorini—especially for me being a horse girl! Alex was fantastic! Bravo!
Perfect sunset beach horse ride

With Horses by the beach

Great beach views on horses. The sand colors were amazing and the guide made you deel very conftarble.
Lovely ride, owner amazing, well cared for horses
Cindy_H, Oct 2023
We loved this adventure. Being a horse owner, the best part for me was seeing how much the owner loved his horses and cared for their wellbeing. Of course the ride was fabulous and the horses amazing. We were introduced to the other horses and learned a little about each one and the owner as well. I'm sorry I can't remember his name. He was so kind and seemed to love what he does and his animals. I highly recommend this ride to the black sandy beach!
The horses are really...
Hans_G, Oct 2023

Amazing horseback riding experience in Santorini
Nicholas_S, Oct 2023
We were in Santorini for our honeymoon and this was easily one of the best experiences of our trip. This was a very private horseback ride (my wife and I and only one other couple), but each couple had their own guide on their own horse, who would check in with us, take photos (and he took a ton, with my wife's phone because her camera is better). It was awesome. Beautiful sunset, well-behaved horses (Romeo and Juliet), and a gentle and pleasant ride. Muriel (one of the guides) and the gentleman (I can't remember his name! he was great) were wonderful and helpful guides. So kind and patient, my wife loved the photos, and of course they were pros with the managing the horses. You may have to secure an Uber or a ride down to the stables (unless you've rented a car), but this was just an awesome experience. Highly recommend!
Fat happy horses and great guides
Debbie_E, Oct 2023
We had a blast on our ride to the black sandy Beach. Our guide Alex was wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to be around. The horses were perfect angels and looked fat and very well fed which was the best part! Thank you to Alex and our other guide for a great time.
Excellent!
Kristin_K, Oct 2023
