Argyris’s Horses is a small, independent company. When Argyris is not already engaged, you can find him on the port from 10:00 to 14:00 or contact him by phone or e-mail. He works alone, but for groups of four or more people, he cooperates with other trusted, licensed, and insured Hydra horsemen.
Group treks for 6-10 people available.
We don’t rent out our horses for people to take on independent rides. Argyris always accompanies his horses. For groups more than 4 people, two guides are provided. Safety is our priority.
