Highlights
  • Immerse yourself in the stunning underwater world of the Mediterranean Sea

Full description
Venture into the ocean’s depth with a 1-day admission ticket to the CRETAquarium. One of Europe’s largest aquariums, over 2,000 sea creatures lice the CRETAquarium's 60 diverse habitats. Delve into the caves and crevices of the Mediterranean, where stingrays and rock-like scorpionfish slither about. Pop out into the open ocean, where menacing sharks circle, waiting to be fed. Get up close and personal with jellyfish and schools of vibrant tropical clownfish through shallow, open-topped tanks, which allow a new viewing perspective of well known species.  Above all, gain a new appreciation for the unending diversity of the world’s most mystifying environment. When you’ve had your fill of looking at the ocean’s residents, why not pop in for a dip? The CRETAquarium is, fittingly, right on the beach.

It's a very nice place to visit in general. The staff is very helpful and polite. We didn't see any sharks though, they were not alive. It's very crowded and people make noise. I believe the description in the audio guide should be more informative than the basic information, but for someone who lacks knowledge is quite good.

Interessante Tiere und internationale Benennung derselben zum besseren Verständnis. Fließtexte gibt es jedoch nur auf Griechisch oder Englisch. Manche Tiere hatten sehr wenig Platz, was wir schade finden aber die meisten hatten genug Freiraum. Parkplätze waren problemlos erreichbar und genug vorhanden. Das Essen im dortigen Restaurant empfanden wir als etwas teuer und haben es daher auch nicht getestet, es sah aber durchaus lecker aus.

Wir haben mit unserem 6-jährigen Sohn und einer befreundeten Familie das CRETAquarium an einem Regentag besucht. Es war ein perfektes Alternativprogramm und hat die Kids begeistert. Natürlich kamen sehr viele Familien auf diese Idee und die Schlange vor der Kasse war mega lang. Mit GetYourGuide habe ich uns die Tickets am Morgen mit der Einlasszeit 12 Uhr gebucht. Damit konnten wir an der Schlange vorbei direkt zum Einlass ohne Anzustehen. Perfekt!
