Magical places for riding are the field of Vassilikis and Aghios Petros to Aghios Ioannis Rodaki, the lake of Marantochori, the area of Roupakia etc.
You could also ride to the magical pathways over the church of Aghios Ioannis Antzousis in the area of Aghios Ioannis next to the town of Lefkada.
On the south end of the island, in Vassiliki, you will find a riding club, where you will have the opportunity to take some lessons. The rides with the horses drive through the fertile valley of Vassiliki from the olive groves and the surrounding mountains. The horses of the riding club are highly trained and domesticated for inexperienced riders. The rides are always organised with the supervision of an instructor of 1 to 3 hours duration.
