Operated by Santorini Horse Riding · Vlychada, South Aegean
A morning light washes the pumice cliffs as you mount at a small hilltop stable above Vlychada. The horses pick their way through channels cut by ancient flows; volcanic ash underfoot throws up a soft dust and the Aegean flashes at the horizon. The guide falls in beside you, steadying the horse and pointing out the next fold in the black cliffs as gulls wheel overhead.
