Information about beach riding on Kos
| If beach riding
on Kos would be legal, we would offer it! The beaches on Kos are all public, so licences of the community are needed if someone want to do business, e.g. Sailing Schools, Jetski, Motor Boat Drive, Beach cafes, ... |
| During the
tourist season huge crowd at all the beaches: Walker, swimmer, playing children, swimmers, ... So it is understandable that there are no licences for horse riding granted. But there are yesterday people which are not interested in laws or have any sense of responsibility. So you can find funny riders with
flip-flops or their baby on the lap at the beaches between Marmari and
Tigaki. It is not appetizing to see horses shit and piss on the beach
close to playing children. Let's say it is an impertinence. |
| Riding round the Salt Lake/Marmari ? | Horses
in Greece are "means of transportation" like cars, trucks. It is
only allowed to use public streets. The salt lake on Kos is a natural protected area, free only for walker. No cars, no horses, no biker! |
| A responisble rider checks the vacation stables first: | Have a
look at the horses, the saddles and even the bridles. A first impression from a Kos page in the internet: http://cos-island.info/eb3/eb3-saltlakeridingkos.htm

Be careful with incoming tourist people of small companies: |
They can only make cash if they sell you something. They accept advertisement in their brochures from anybody who sells for, and they sell you to the devil, if they get a commission. |
| Your benefit: |
If you get anywhere in the hotel or from your travel guide information material about beach riding on Kos, collect it and take the agency to the court. This may stop them to support criminals. |
