This quaint stable has many kind, trustworthy and reliable horses, that will be fantastic partners in your exploration in the Greek countryside.

A Traditional Greek Village

Beyond being a scenic area with various terrains that can be ridden on, Molyvos is also an area with rich history and culture. Many houses in the area are modelled after traditional Turkish houses, evidenced by how the area is populated with magnificent stone houses and a majestic medieval castle. This sense of history and culture melds and blends nicely together with the relaxing but lively F&B scene near Ippos, where numerous tavernas, restaurants and even several bars are situated by the water.

Swim With The Horses

Horses and Hot Springs

An activity that one cannot miss out on when visiting Molyvos is taking a trip to the hot springs.

The hot springs, coupled with the leisurely ride to the bath houses, is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Galloping Down a Local Race Track

What is an equestrian holiday without the chance to have an exhilarating gallop down a sandy bank? Here at Ippos Molyvos, visitors will be able to not only explore the areas around Ippos with rich history and culture, but will also be able to take their trusty steed down to the old racing track, and relive the experiences of those who had once raced here.
