This morning we visited Manolis on his beautiful farm and went on a wonderful 1 hour tour through the woods. My husband who is terrified of horses found the experience very pleasant. The horses are extremely well trained and calm. They listen to Manolis’s oral commands and know the paths with their eyes closed! Manolis joked that they have an inbuilt GPS System 😄. It’s a great experience even for someone who has never been on a horse before! Manolis is a true cowboy, warm, funny and with a very positive attitude. Thank you so much for a great ride through the woods! Ευχαριστούμε παρά πολύ! Ήτανε φανταστικά!!! Βίβιαν + Felix

Again in Skyros, again with Manolis and his horses and again a fantastic adventure. It's been a few years from the last time but nothing has changed (some new horses, actually). My children are more grown up now and they enjoyed it even more.

Manolis is a super cool cowboy who treats all his horses with very good care. He has many beautiful horses and they are all very obedient and relaxed. He and his lovely assistant Mirto guided 6 of us on a relaxing trek through a tranquil alpine forest, coming out at a turquoise lagoon style beach where we all enjoyed some great swimming in the sea. Perfect way to spend my birthday, thanks to Appaloosa Horse Riding Club. Amazing value, professional service.👌

Highlight of our trip to Skyros! Manolos and his horses are just amazing. So well cared for and loving. We did a 3hr hike down to the beach which was just lovely. Not experienced riders but that wasn't a problem, Manolos controls the horses amazingly. Really challenging walk but such a great experience, loved every minute of it. Rocky the baby is the star.. he followed us down to the beach just to have a little walk!

Must do on the island of Skyros!
We had a lovey 2 hour ride through the hills and on the beach. Beautiful landscape and sunset as we rode.
Our favorite activity on the island by far!

It was one of the best thing we did this year in Skyros.
Manolis, the owner, is the man! He loves his horses and it shows. They are exceptionally well kept. Bravo.
We went for a trip to the beach of Agalipa, magical. Horse riding in the forest was superb.

We visited the riding club this morning. Manolis is the owner and the instructor. Very easy going and calm. There are a couple of alternative routes you can take. We opted for the 1h walk to a heaven-like beach that you can reach only via horses (however we found out that a hotel also organizes walk tours to that beach). We spent 1,5h there. We enjoyed the water and Manolis took us through his life story about deciding to give up on Athens and returned back to Skyros. Overall very nice experience. For those who are scared of horses, the horses are extremely friendly, obeying to the oral commands of Manolis. It seemed totally safe to that respect, up to the point that it can help you overcome your fear.

We came to the riding club on our 2nd day on the island. When we got there we were welcomed by Penelope, who told us all about the horses while we were waiting for " the captain" to come back from a previous ride. Once he arrived he helped us get on and made sure we were comfortable on the horses. 2 of us were experienced riders and 1 of us was a beginner. This experience really is for any level of riders. We went out for 1 hour which was a perfect amount of time. Overall we throughly enjoyed it and would come back again!

Very nice experience with Manolis and his horses. Everything was perfect: welcome, walk and break on the beautiful beach. Thanks again to Manolis and Penelope for this exceptional moment!
