Ride & Swim

Riding a horse in the crystal clear water of Plakias Bay is a unique experience & a refreshing way to start your day!

Description

Discover one of the most unique and refreshing experiences in Plakias—horse riding combined with a swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Libyan Sea.
Starting from the Horse Riding Center, the route takes you west through peaceful olive groves, gradually leading to the beautiful 1.4 km stretch of sandy beach at Plakias. Along the way, you’ll enjoy the calm rhythm of the countryside before reaching the open coastline.
Once at the beach, the experience becomes truly unforgettable. Ride along the shoreline with the sea breeze on your face, and at selected spots where the water is shallow and the seabed smooth, you’ll have the chance to enter the sea with your horse. Feel the magic of swimming together—an activity that is not only incredibly enjoyable for riders, but also relaxing and therapeutic for the horses.
This ride offers a perfect blend of adventure, connection, and pure joy—an experience that will stay with you long after you leave the shore.
