Lassithi Trek - Crete

Lassithi Trek

4 star rating   2 October 2022

Lisa who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. A great way to see the Island of Crete | I was a little disappointed with the riding as the terrain was really rocky with lots of walking single file in an order set by the ride leader. Although we had numerous opportunities to canter it was not on good ground.

Although I wouldn’t recommend this holiday it’s only because I have been on other riding holidays which I have enjoyed more. The accommodation, food, hospitality etc were all very good and they were a lovely family. I personally prefer faster riding with a more varied terrain and a bit more freedom to chat to everyone in the group.
[Becky from In The Saddle replies: Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm glad you had a good holiday overall but I'm sorry to hear that the riding wasn't quite as you expected. The ground in Crete is very rocky and so the pace/style of the ride can be more limited than on other holidays. Luckily the horses there are well used to this and are very surefooted.]
