Comments:

United Kingdom, 2006, Geoff Rampton about his holiday with you.......
  The stables, Manolis, the horses, were all fantastic! We had such a good time on the rides - through lovely countryside, stopping off a tavernas for "refreshments" ie raki, meeting some very nice people. Ten out of ten. The rooms at the stables themselves are heavenly. The hotel where we stayed was very nice as well. Quiet (!) and run by a very friendly couple. The town square in the old centre of the village where we stayed was a long way away, and delightful. We also found a fabulous beach within 1/2 hour drive where my daughter and I were the only people on it most days, followed by a lunch of fresh fish that we sometimes saw hauled out of the sea before it was cooked for us. 
Can't wait to go back.

Matthew and Margareta, London, England, January 2001:
Had a fantastic time. Manolis is a star. The trip is really worth recommending. Horses solid, organisation good, really terrific people. If you want a down to earth no bullshit trail this one would be hard to beat. Really brilliant and deserves to be a huge success!!!
