“We love it! I recommend this adventure to everyone :) Finikia is run by a fantastic family who put their whole heart into. We are incredibly impressed with how much work and effort they put in and the atmosphere they create. We managed on horses without much experience, we could count on the support of very nice and open people working on the farm. We will remember it fondly :) Also won't forget these delicious meatballs :)”
