Chania Equestrian Center started in 2012 in Malaxa, a beautiful mountain village about 15 minutes from the center of the city of Chania. It is a properly landscaped area of ten acres where riding lessons are held. In our group we have 17 horses of which three are ponies and they are housed in indoor stables at night and during the day in the outdoor paddocks. There is a stableman who takes care of all the horses and takes care of the cleanliness of our stables.
