Want to see sharks and sea turtles in Crete? Head to CRETAquarium.

It’s one of the largest aquariums in Europe. You’ll find more than 2,000 sea creatures. From glowing jellyfish to groupers, kids love the colors and motion. It’s indoors, air-conditioned, and stroller-friendly-great for all seasons.

The experience is fun and educational.

Walk past 60 huge tanks. Each one shows a real Mediterranean habitat-from shallow coasts to deep-sea zones. There are touch screens, videos, and interactive games. Perfect for keeping little ones engaged.

The aquarium also helps protect marine life.

 It’s run by the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research. Injured sea turtles are rescued and treated here. The goal? Education, care, and conservation. Your ticket helps support it all.
