Argyris Horses - Votsi

A fantastic experience and there is no better way to see Hydra Island!

Beautiful small island, with charming character. No vehicles all transport by donkey and horses.

Scandalous!! Inacceptable !!! Animals under the sun, no water... You can saw than the animals are sad.. We see the horse trying to eat a lamppost so hungry he is

I was in Ydra not so long ago, and I can confirm with the previous comment that the animals was there all the afternoon, attached and under the sun... without any water !! We stayed all the day in Ydra and every time we were going back to the center they didn’t change animal’s places. They were on the place near all the coffees and restaurants. Poor animals. Please don’t let them suffer like that !!! Shame on you !!

Excellent! Nice people, well cared horses , beautiful island! We book our ride by sending an e mail. Christina replied promptly. We enjoyed our ride immensely! Thank you!

Whenever in the last 10 years i came to Hydra alone or the three times with my son Linos we meet Argyris with his horses and his wife Christina. Both are members of the animal welfare society in Hydra „Hydra Ark“. In the last years Hydra ark organized the special care with vet for equines twice a year. All persons on Hydra who work with horses join and take care for their animals!!! I also adopted two stray cats from Hydra and we live together in a rural farm house in Germany. Argyris is not only a very friendly and helpful man but also takes so much care for all his animals. Especially the horses, because he works with them every day and so wether he is transporting things with the horses or takes tourists to one of the beautiful rides on the island. I am hopeful and looking forward to meet him again as every year two times to greet him and talk to them. So often he refused to join me for a coffee because he works and doesnt want to park the horses in the sun or at the port. The comments of the two ladies here hit a topic that is a topic for the municipality of Hydra but none of Argyris. Especially in summer the horses of some people are at the port. In the last year finally the municipality established some sunshades but these are often closed because of strong wind. So it would be great if the critics would be more objective and adressed to the persons where they belong. Its good to write critics but they have to be true and do not accuse false. Argyris and Christina, i am looking forward to see you and all the friends soon. Stay all safe and healthy - included the animals!

Amazing experience! We met Argyris and his horses at Votsis square after we booked his services by phone. We rode to saint constantinos monastery. It was great fun and the views were spectacular. Argyris loves his horses and horses are well cared. Clean , well fed and with good manners. We enjoyed immensely the ride and we definitely come back !

Great fun! It is worth booking a ride with Argyris and his beautiful horses!
