点评:We came to Crete on our honeymoon and having read so many great reviews, booked Finikia horseriding’s lunch option, where (despite being out of the pick up zone) Eva picked up my husband and I from Analipsi, and drove us to their farm. We were greeted with coffee and helmets by the lovely Irene and given a quick riding lesson and introduction to the horses. In all honesty, I found the actual horseriding part terrifying and I hadn’t expected to, but the guides were excellent. At one point, copying another horse, my horse decided to speed up. This really spooked me and I asked to get off and walk. The guide helped me down and would occasionally ask if I’d like to go back on, but didn’t pressure me. Eventually, I did, and the guide stayed by my side as he knew how frightened I was. It could have easily gone another way, but the guide was so kind and reassuring and just met me where I was. Irene was really encouraging too and I’m so glad I got back on the horse and experienced those incredible views. When we got back to the farm, we were served the most incredible meatballs, chips, salad and I’m pretty sure the wine was homemade too. Eva, who took us to and from our hotel, told us she has been making those meatballs twice a day for almost 40 years, she has it down to an art. It was so enjoyable to spend the morning with such knowledgable people and meet other travellers. Whilst I don’t think I’ll rush back to horse riding, I’d recommend this experience to anyone, it’s so so worthwhile! Thank you again! - Also, what an incredibly reasonable price!
翻译:我们来克里特岛度蜜月,看了很多好评后,预订了Finikia骑马公司的午餐套餐。虽然我们住的地方不在接送区内,但Eva还是开车从Analipsi接上我和我丈夫,然后带我们去了他们的马场。可爱的Irene热情地招待我们,给我们准备了咖啡和头盔,并给我们上了一堂简单的骑马课,还介绍了马匹。说实话,骑马的过程让我有点害怕,这完全出乎我的意料,但向导们都非常棒。有一次,我的马模仿另一匹马,突然加速。这真的吓到我了,我要求下马步行。向导扶我下来,时不时地问我是否还想骑,但并没有强迫我。最后,我还是骑了上去,向导一直陪在我身边,因为他知道我有多害怕。事情本来可能会朝着另一个方向发展,但向导非常友善,给了我很大的安慰,他完全理解我的感受,并给予我支持。艾琳也给了我很多鼓励,我很高兴自己重新骑上马,欣赏到了那些令人惊叹的美景。回到农场后,我们享用了美味无比的肉丸、薯条和沙拉,而且我敢肯定葡萄酒也是自酿的。接送我们往返酒店的伊娃告诉我们,她每天做两次肉丸,已经做了将近40年了,堪称一门艺术。能和这些博学的人一起度过一个上午,结识其他旅行者,真是太愉快了。虽然我可能不会再骑马了,但我会向所有人推荐这次体验,绝对物超所值!再次感谢!——而且价格也太实惠了!
