What defines riding in Greece?

Greece spans sun-drenched coastlines, olive groves, and limestone peaks across two phytogeographic provinces, the East Mediterranean and the Illyrian, within the Boreal Kingdom. Riders here can encounter wild horses, swim alongside them, and follow ancient trails to wild beaches. The country's ancient heritage defines its national identity, with Homeric landscapes and carnival traditions of costumes and float parades still thriving today. A mild Mediterranean climate opens coastal paths and mountain forests to riders nearly year-round.
