Activity Description

This 1.5 hour route is slight more difficult, moderate to hard, and is for clients that have some basic previous riding experience and are slightly more adventurous or active.

We pass through the narrow cobblestone streets of Megalo Papigo to reach a dirt track that takes us towards the abandoned village of Ano Klidonia.

After a small stream crossing we veer off the main trail and head towards the little church of Profitis Ilias.

This ride offers a variety of landscapes, from drier rocky cliffs, to green lush oak forest and to amazing views of the land around us.

As we loop around we come upon some beautiful old fields that act like balconies offering us a tremendous view of the villages Vikos and Aristi and of course the Gorge and the impressive cliff faces.

There are a few places for cantering on this ride. (This ride is for competent riders, we do not lead any horses on this ride)

About us

Horse rides and treks for all ages and levels in one of Greece’s most beautiful environments, Papigo, one of 46 villages in the Zagori region, in the heart of the National Park of Northern Pindos. Enjoy the sunset as it paints the majestic cliff faces a deep sultry red while riding among the forefeet of the spectacular Astraka peak (2,436m). You can also admire the endemic wildlife watching golden eagles and kestrels soaring above and hunting the smaller prey of the area. And on a lucky day you might be able to catch a glimpse of a fox, badger, hare or wild boar or see a brown bear scrambling along the cliff faces.

We try to keep the group of riders that will go out together small between 1-8 people so that the experience can be more personal and pleasant for everyone. Hopefully each person will leave us with a better understanding of how such an area of raw natural beauty is so special and necessary and with a wonderful experience to describe to others.
