Our farm is more than a place – it is a promise to the future of Crete

We preserve the soul of Crete: On our farm, we protect rare, native livestock breeds and keep old traditions alive, such as cooking over an open fire. Our animals – whether the nearly extinct Cretan cow or our horses – always come first. To us, they are friends, family, and partners at eye level. In this warm atmosphere, we invite you to experience the deep connection to nature and our respectful approach firsthand.

I can highly recommend it. Everything is managed with great care and heart. Very clean and tidy. Dreamy, good horses and an extremely well-kept stable. Very positively impressed. We had a one-hour ride with Lea. It was a lot of fun. I will definitely come back for a longer tour.

The horses are well cared for; they are very balanced, sure-footed, and people-oriented. The rides were very well adapted to individual skills. We rode through wonderful landscapes, and it was very diverse.

A great experience. Very well-behaved horses that can also pick up speed for experienced riders. If you really want an unforgettable riding experience in the mountains with a sea view, this is the place for you. Absolutely recommended, professional equipment and process. The well-being of the horses is a priority, and Lea is a very conscientious guide. I had a great day.
