Andros | Horse Back Riding in Andros

Andros | Horse Back Riding in Andros. While the island boasts emerald landscapes for the nature lover on foot, Andros also offers horseback riding trails and routes by mountain or sea. In fact, it is the annual custom for the men of Vourkoti village and nearby villages to ready their horses and ride off on a trail that leads to the chapel of Saint John Schinou, near the top of Petalou Mountain. Ride and experience amazing views and quaint villages for a little adventure, depending on which trail you take. If you like heights, then take the path that leads to the chapel, it's the highest point on Andros. If you're after a ride into the sunset by the sea, the village of Vourkoti has roads that lead to two beaches, those of Achla and Vori, located to the east which offer protection from the usual summer winds.
