We visited the stables last month where me and my 12 year old niece had an hour long hack and our 5 other relatives took a carrage ride. We had a wonderful ride with the horses following behind the cart so we all got to experience the fun together. The horses were so lovely and the carrage ride alot of... More

Arion stables are great for horse rides. Zara took us and our grandchildren on a fantastic pony and trap ride through the old Crete villages of Chersonisos, Piscopiano and Khoutoulafari. But it is not just the horses and other animals that are great there. The food is terrific. Grandparents, parents and grandchildren tucked into a wide variety of traditional Greek... More

We saw turtles and tortoises, rabbits and guinea pigs, goats and sheep, horses and foals.There is also a play area and a bar and taverna... More

We rode with Zara and her horses. Did not enjoy. She expects every one to know how to ride HER way. Been riding all my life she didn't let up telling you what to do. Making you feel flustered and inadequate. Ridden owned horses all my life was bit rusty due to illness. It's Zara s way or no way.... More
