Overall it was a very good experience but the marine life selection isn’t that big.

N
Nathan – United Kingdom

I love fish and this had an amazing showcase of different fish from around the world and it also educated you on the damage waist does to our ocean showing a decomposed can after 100 years and more!

Highlights

  • Immerse yourself in the stunning underwater world of the Mediterranean Sea
  • Travel between the open sea, coastal zones, and craggy caves as you explore one of Europe's largest aquariums
  • Peer in from 100 observation points to admire more than 250 different species of sea life

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.
