Morning light hits the Aegean as the minivan slips away from Kavala and into the hinterland — guides check helmets and saddle girths while children watch horses flicking summer flies. The tour moves from the paddock air of the Equestrian Club of Kavala to the odd theatrical hush of the Wax Museum in Kipia, then into the cool, leaf-strewn aisles of the Palaiochori chestnut forest and finishes beside the slow-moving canals of Ano Kefalari.

Yes; the Equestrian Club provides gentle mounts and basic instruction, but riders should be comfortable following a guide and able to sit an hour at a time.
Yes; the private tour includes pickup/transport in an air‑conditioned vehicle with onboard Wi‑Fi and bottled water.
Families are welcome — staff tailor riding arrangements for younger guests, though one ticket covers the booking per provider policy, so check age requirements when booking.
Admission to the Wax Museum and horse riding fees are included in the ticket price; the itinerary notes snacks are provided and there’s time for a tavern lunch at Ano Kefalari (not included).
The region around Kavala has long been a crossroads between sea and upland villages; chestnut cultivation shaped local diets and economies for centuries, and the water mills preserved traditional grain processing techniques.
Stick to marked paths in the chestnut grove to avoid root damage and respect wetland habitats by not feeding wildlife; local operators aim to minimize impact with managed group sizes and established riding tracks.
