OUR DONKEYS

An alternatibe way to get the real Cretan feeling is a ride on a donkey. These tours are ideal for children and light adults. Our menagerie consists of 10 beautiful donkeys.

Ouzo

OUZO

Ouzo is a large black donkey. He's about 20 years old and has been around the block a few times. His best buddy is Raki.

RAKI

Raki was actually named Heraklis, but since his best friend is named after a greek drink, we thought he should be to. Whenever these two are together they have endless wrestlingmatches. He is lightbrown with wild stripes, one year younger than Ouzo, and very strong and fast.

Grisa

GRISA

Grisa is a small 18-year old jenny. As you can tell by her name her color is grey with a white underside and looks very cute.

OREA

Orea means beautiful in greek, and that name fits her. She big, darkbrown and is 13 years of age.She came to live with us the winter of 2009.

RUNZELSCHNAUZE

Runzelschnauze is 13 years old, lightbrown and has a wrinkly nose, hence her name.

THYMARI

Two years ago, Thymari was rescued from a citypark where she was not very well taken care of. The day she came the first thing she did was having a foal. She is the youngest of our donkeys, only 10 years old. She recovered completely, and last year she had a little encounter with a nice stallion, which resulted in another foal born in 2009.
