Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:
Dimitris' love for nature and animals prompted him to start a horse riding school in Avlaki (near Kassiopi located further north), in a peninsula famed for its natural beauty. Life has taught him that to succeed, you have to love what you do, and make your hobby your work. Dimitris Horse Riding is the only riding school on the island that has been established with rescued horses.
The once traumatised animals are given love, care and training. Participants on this tour actually contribute to the care and upkeep of these horses, and perhaps to saving and rehabilitating more of them.

We are very proud to be part of whl.travel and to join a network of people that are concerned with the needs of local communities and the local environment to avoid the destruction of beautiful destinations like ours by mass tourism. In Corfu, we are active in promoting responsible tourism in our destination and have implemented a "Go Green" campaign with some accommodations that our company is managing on behalf of the owners.
