Sports and leisure activities Cyclades

This is a good idea to discover Naxos, even if you have never mounted horse, Niki, a German and his francophone friend offer many equestrian excursions: tours of the island in one day (100 € per person) or in 3 days, 3-hour walk (50 €) or 2 hours (35 €, off season only), children's walks (20 € for 30-45 minutes), as well as horseback riding lessons for the big and large. Day trips begin at 8 a. m. in the morning, for a return period. In the direction of At, you will enjoy a stop in Faros, for lunch and sunbathing on the beach or the swimming pool. 20 years of experience. Book at least one day in advance.

Mykonos on horseback. Discover other facets of the island. From 2 a. m. to 3 p. m. with swimming, picnic, lunch at the water restaurant. Special short-term programme for children with snacks and drinks. For honey moons: golf course or night with champagne and fruit on the beach. Groups welcome. Fanis Rouvas, a riding instructor, works with passion. During the winter, he stays with his horses in the mountain from Vorras to Kaimaktsalon.

Those who want a little less crowd, but still enjoy the same services, should go to the beach of Kalo Livadi, towards the west. You will find the junction on the road, a little after the exit of Ano Meria. Between the two, the curious will discover a pleasant little beach with emerald waters and less visited. It is the beach of Aghia Anna, also called Divounia Beach. It can be reached by road or in a few minutes on foot by a path that starts from Kalafatis and is famous for its fine sand and good restaurant.

Among the many activities offered here, parasailing over the coast of Perivolos is a rather unforgettable way to see the southern coast of the island from the air. You will take off from the specially chartered boat and fly over the sea. A certified crew will make sure you enjoy the whole trip safely. It's not cheap, but quite unique. Otherwise, the coasts of the island can be discovered by flyboard or, closer to sea level, by boat, jet-ski or tubing. Strong and visual emotions guaranteed!

The club offers courses and training for all levels, from beginner to expert. The club also runs a summer camp for children, which is very popular with parents. The facilities are top-quality and the atmosphere is friendly.

Tired of swimming and wanting to see a little more green than blue? Fanis offers horseback riding on the beaches or in the valley. Ideal to see the sunset differently with a little peace and quiet. Possible packages with picnic and pick up at your hotel.

Probably one of the best known in Santorini. Apostolos, the founder, has over 20 years of experience on the island and was the first Cousteau Divers instructor in Greece. Explore the impressive underwater landscape around the caldera of Santorini and search for the remains of the lost city of Atlantis, as many explorers, adventurers and scientists have done before you. The centre is also very active in the preservation of the environment, and is fighting to create a protected marine area around the caldera.
