Can U Help?
Julie the horse riding in Lagana has a pick up service so call and book your ride with them  and they pick you up and drop you off again . Ride goes down onto the sand dunes along the beach. Hope this helps .

Hi, I'm going to stay in Kalamaki in Sept but don't intend on renting a car.  Is the horse trekking based in Kalamaki as I'm really keen to experience this but won't be able to if it's else where

Me and my boyfriend have recently just got back from our holiday in Zante we had an amazing time, and one of our main highlights was when we went horse riding at zante horse trekking centre which is run by Natasha and Yannis. Not only are the horses beautiful and extremly well trained and you get to ride them in a beautiful location, but Natasha is so lovely and friendly and really makes you feel very welcome in her company. The whole experience was truely amazing and we are definetly going to book another session with them when we go back to Zante as we feel it really is the best place to go! Thank you once again Natasha and Yannis.    Kate & Nathan

click to enlarge As a Greek American I was hesitant to have a wedding in Zakynthos (MAY 2004).  However, since my father is from Katastari and my husband from Lagadakia, I didn't have much choice.  I had been to plenty of wedding prior to mine and wasn't very hopeful of having a great time in Zakynthos.  Nana's horse riding excursion made the trip.  Not only was our wedding everything I imagined and then some, Nana had us over the next day, decorated the horse and carriage and took us for AN AWESOME RIDE IN THE CITY!!!!!  Her family welcomed us into their home afterwords for coffee and cake, we even hung out in the stable area for a while and had a few drinks.  I would like to publicly thank her for a great day after the wedding, for her awesome generosity and hospitality.  Now that I have a son and baby on the way, I look forward to visiting Zakynthos again, this time taking the kids for a ride.  My sister is a seasoned rider and thinks the world of Nana's Horses and so do I.  THANK YOU NANA & FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ME POLLI AGAPI APO: Oikoyennia Xakailis (PSIRIS!)

loved the horsriding with zante horse trekking centre run by nat and yannis.  Had saved for ages to go on this holiday, iam 11 and love horses, and nat took me great rides along the beach and she really helped me gain confidence with this aspect of my riding.  I loved melina the horse i rode most often, but also loved george and his wee cheeky streak.  i cant wait to get back there, it was the one thing i really loved, about zante and the whole family at the stables made my holiday.  if you want to ride go there, its a great wee stable, and the horses are well loved and cared for.  Beth McMahon

I have been going to Zakynthos every summer for several years now.  Nana's horses has one of the oldest and most experienced horse ranch in Zante.   Nana and her family are very much animal activists and love their horses like people.  They take special measures to be sure that their horses are taken care of properly. Indeed, they have some of the most beautiful horses on the island.  I think their success and the many people and friends that return each year like myself speaks for itself.

Just got back from a holiday at Alexandra Beach Hotel.  Went riding with Marie at Akrotiri Riding Stables in Tsilivi.  We had a great time.  I can ride but my friend was a novice so we did not go faster than trot.  Nevertheless it was delightful and the horses extremely well schooled.  We enjoyed it that much that we went back the next day for two hours.  If we go back next year we will definitely spend more time there.  Marie is a lovely person and makes everyone welcome.  I have nohesitation in recommending  her stables whether you can ride or not.

Good Luck for the season Marie

well last week my wife my four children and I visited Zante and we were advised to go for horse riding.We chose to go nana's horses.I can tell you that we had the time of our life.Nana and all the people there were very polite and ready to help us.I forgot to mention that we have never riden a horse before.There were also ponnys  for our children there.We also had the chance to have a look at all sorts of animals a farm has.My kids loved the place and we went there next morning.This time however nana came herself and picked us up (free of charge). Since it was morning nana offered to treat us greek coffee and other greek delicacies that her mother had made earlier in the morning.We went horse riding again only this time we went with a guide named Andreas.This guy was even more polite and explained us everything about horses and horse riding.the price was good and certainly worthed it!! If you visit Zante you have to visit nanas horses.The place is amazing and if you have kids they will surely love it!!I wont give you her phone number because if you do a little research you will find it(Zante is full of signs showing the directions!!!)

I am really curious about the previous posts because of two things.Firstly, some of them give even the phone number of the place like the own the place!!!! and secondly the previous posts about nanas horses are really bashing her with what i think fake reasons.
Well you cant tell until you visit it so!!!

then again really good work nana and thank you again for giving our vacation a memorable moment
