Absolutely great day, Gregory is real funny, absolutely no political correctness at all. A fantastic day treking in the mountains. Gregory gauges your riding standard and then gives you a horse that is suitable to your ability. Having never ridden before I was issued with "Kamikaze" who led the way and took very little notice of any of my commands.... More

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to visit Crete and take home fantastic memories. My friend and I used to go horse riding a lot, lessons etc but the price in England is becoming ridiculous. This on the other hand, is well worth the money. Very cheap for what you get! We were picked up by Gregory from... More

We joined Yesterday the Moonlight Horseriding. I have to say that its an amazing experience from all aspects! The Horses are really friendly and this makes it easier for those who are not familiar with horse riding. Gregory, with his own way, will brief all of you before riding and they will be with you along the way if you... More

From the time Gregory stopped the van en route to the stables to climb a fence and return with a handful of apricots saying "is OK, fresh and very cheap" to the impromptu visit to his favourite bar for a farewell Raki or 6, it was a five hour stand up comedy routine. The horse riding itself was fun up... More

We had an excellent day riding in the mountains. Gregory was very welcoming and his sister made us a lovely lunch. The horses were all very well looked after, would definitely recommend this trip.

I stayed in Crete for 6 days from 7th April and had the most amazing day with Gregg, he picked me and my friend from the hotel and drove us to the stables which wasn't far at all! My friend who came with me had no previous experience with horses so we told Greg in advance that we would have... More

My daughter fulfilled her dream of horse riding on The beach, she loved every minute of it. We were very well looked after whilst we waited for her. The staff were extremely helpful friendly and polite

Spent the best day of a 17 day Mediterranean vacation with Gregory from Hersonissos Horseriding. Gregory picked us up at the port, short drive to his stables, where we saddled up on beautiful, gentle horses and rode into the hills for a couple of hours. Afterwards his wife prepared the most incredidble lunch of our entire trip. It was an... More

I have to say... spending my time with Gregory's ranch is definitely the highlight of my trip to Heraklion. Not only Gregory goes out of his way to pick me up at the suburbs of Heraklion, he also called me when I checked into my hotel to make sure everything is fine and give me advise all the great places...
