A Different Kind of Rhythm in Zakynthos
Not all adventures here come on four wheels or two feet.
Some move slower, more instinctively — with the sound of hooves on sand and the Ionian Sea at your side.
Horseback riding in Zakynthos offers a rare chance to experience the island differently. No engines. No crowds. Just you, a horse, and the landscape unfolding at its own pace.
Laganas Horse Riding Center
Among the best-rated experiences on the island, Laganas Horse Riding Center combines professionalism with a deep respect for the animals and the environment.
Founded in 1994, this family-run centre works with beautifully trained horses and experienced local guides who speak fluent English and know how to adjust to all levels — from first-time riders to those confident enough for a seaside gallop.
But what makes it unforgettable isn’t the skill.
It’s the setting.
Ride Where the Sand Meets the Sea
Many of the rides lead you straight to the coast. You’ll feel the shift beneath you — from warm trail dust to firm, salt-smoothed sand. Some tours even wade into the water, the horses calmly stepping through the shallows as the light bends across the waves.
At sunset, it becomes something even more cinematic: golden light, gentle silhouettes, and a sense of quiet connection you didn’t know you needed.
