Unforgettable horseback riding experience
My girlfriend and I had the most incredible private horseback riding experience just outside Thessaloniki – and we owe it all to Dora, our amazing host and guide. The entire visit lasted about 2–3 hours and felt like a perfect mix of relaxation, fun, learning, and connection with animals. From the moment we arrived at the hilltop ranch (above Thessaloniki with beautiful views and rolling green hills), Dora made us feel like more than just guests – it honestly felt like we were hanging out with a close friend who also happens to know everything about horses and farm life. She even brought fresh apples and carrots especially for our visit, which we got to feed to the horses before riding – and saved some to treat the other animals later! The farm is huge, peaceful, and beautifully kept. You can tell the animals are well loved and well cared for – the horses are healthy and relaxed, always in the shade with fresh water, and clearly used to gentle handling. Beyond the horses, we also met goats, donkeys, dogs, cats, chickens, emus, a black pig, turkeys, a chameleon, and even a pet python – it’s like a little pet sanctuary on a hill. As for the riding itself – it was about an hour of riding through nature. My girlfriend is an experienced rider, while I was doing this type of riding solo for the first time. Dora gave clear, friendly instructions and made sure we both felt confident and safe. She even shared fun facts along the trail, which added a nice personal touch. Tips & Recs: - Definitely bring comfy clothes and closed shoes. - Don’t worry if you’re a beginner – they’ll take great care of you. Go for the private option if you’re celebrating something special – it was a perfect birthday surprise for my girlfriend. We left with huge smiles, muddy shoes, and full hearts. Whether you’re a couple, a family, a group of friends, or traveling solo – I can’t recommend this enough. It's the kind of experience you'd tell your friends not to miss.

Lovely Afternoon with great Guide
What a wonderful experience. Spending an afternoon exploring the the Greek countryside on horseback was beautif. Our guide Dora was fantastic and made the afternoon a lot of fun. Our group had just three people, and none of us had much riding experience, but the horses are very well trained and easy to handle even for beginners. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone who loves animals.

Horse back riding and so much more!
We were excited to do a trail ride on our vacation in Greece and this experience exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Dora picked us up in Thessaloniki and brought us to the farm where we were able to meet all the farm animals st our leisure and took our time to explore this amazing farm. When it came to the ride, the views were incredible and the horses were so good to us. The trail guide was friendly and pleasant. The farm owners were warm and welcoming. It was nice to spend time there with all the animals and we learned so much from the farm owner and their family. Would come back here again and highly recommend this experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Michelle ☺️ It was so nice to meet you both!!! Welcome anytime 🤗

Highly recommend
great experience! We arranged a horseback riding trip with Dora, she came to pick us up personally from Thessaloniki with warm Greek breads and drinks for the ride. The people at the farm were nice and kind and the route was lovely with a stunning view. Dora is a lovely woman, attentive and welcoming! Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kids words!!😊

Nature Horseback Riding & Farm Experience near Thessaloniki: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Thessaloniki.
How much does Nature Horseback Riding & Farm Experience near Thessaloniki cost?
+
Prices start at $113 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Thessaloniki usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nature Horseback Riding & Farm Experience near Thessaloniki take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Thessaloniki is not rushed.
Is Nature Horseback Riding & Farm Experience near Thessaloniki worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Thessaloniki, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nature Horseback Riding & Farm Experience near Thessaloniki?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Nature Horseback Riding & Farm Experience near Thessaloniki suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nature Horseback Riding & Farm Experience near Thessaloniki?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Thessaloniki can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Thessaloniki and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nature Horseback Riding & Farm Experience near Thessaloniki start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Thessaloniki within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Thessaloniki?
+
On Outty we rank every Thessaloniki experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gastronomic Food Tour in Thessaloniki with a Chef, Discover Vergina and Pella: Day Trip to Macedonian Kingdom, Thessaloniki : Half-Day Sailing Cruise to Shipwreck Bay !. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Thessaloniki?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Thessaloniki?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
