New Year's Ride Program
8 days, 5 days riding - Georgioupolis area
Riding Program
Day 1: Arrival and transfer from the airport. Depending on the time of arrival a guided walk in the area is offered. Followed by a welcome dinner.
Day 2: From the stables we head downhill to the beach for our first rendezvous with the long sandy beach of Georgioupoli. Completely empty, giving all opportunity for some amazing (slow) gallops. A real adrenaline rush! We then make our way up to Kastelos and ride through the almost abandoned village of Patima, to reach the greenery of Argiroupoli village, well known for its springs, ancient mills, avocados and associated products. There is plenty of time for a stroll in ancient Lappa or a visit to the local Museum of Village Life. This trail is an escape to ancient times during which plenty of variety is offered. In the evening we enjoy typical Cretan dishes in Argiroupoli where we spend the night.
Day 3: Continuing on our trip, we ride through the village of Kato Poros which has been renovated in traditional style and the fun continues along dirt tracks through unspoiled countryside. Breathtakingly beautiful! This magnificent trail leads us over the village of Moundros to Aghios Vasilios, where we enjoy a traditional lunch. With our batteries recharged, we ride trough the hills, passing by picturesque little villages through fantastic landscapes near Gonia, where we spend the night.
Day 4: This day offers a completely different scenario. Leaving Gonia, we pass through new development and traditional villages till we reach the beach of Episcopi... And from here on ... the beach is all ours!
On a long sandy beach intoxicated by the smell of freedom, you will enjoy a dream-like harmony. Who told you you need wings to fly? The night is spent in picturesque Georgioupoli, where we round off this amazing and unforgettable trip.
Day 5 and day 6: Free days. The last day of the old year and the first one of the new one, we'll spend in the Venetian town of Chania. On New Years Eve we'll meet up for a great dinner and celebration.
Day 7: Around 10.30 we'll head back to the stables for the beautiful mini-safari to the green blue lake of Kournas. Its surrounding mountains are reflected in the lake and during this time of the year, this place will surely remind you of a deserted paradise. Perfect place to enjoy a hot chocolate while breathing the magic of this spot.
