• The Greek Mythology Thematic Park is near Psychro, in the Lasithi Plateau.
• It features 3,000 m² of exhibits on ancient myths, Minoan history, and rural Crete.
• You’ll need a car to reach it, book easily with AUTOWAY, Crete’s top rated rental service.

The Greek Mythology Thematic Park is a unique, educational stop in eastern Crete.

Located near the village of Psychro, this indoor museum offers life-sized mythological scenes, narration in 10 languages, and detailed information on Greek gods and Minoan legends. It’s suitable for all ages, and the visit takes about 1–2 hours.

You can’t get there without a car. 

The park sits in the Lasithi Plateau, a rural, high-altitude region 70 km from Heraklion. No public buses go directly to the area. Renting a car is essential, not just to reach the park, but to explore nearby sights like the Diktaean Cave (believed to be Zeus’s birthplace) and traditional villages like Tzermiado. If that sounds too far, consider this closer hiking day trip from Chania as an alternative with similar mountain charm.

A rental from AUTOWAY gives you flexibility and full coverage. 

Their fleet includes small, fuel-efficient cars perfect for mountain roads. All rentals include insurance, unlimited kilometers, and no hidden charges. You can pick up your vehicle at Heraklion or Chania Airport and drive straight to Lasithi without delays. Just watch your speed, here’s what to do if you get a police fine.

The park opens daily and is open year-round. 

Tickets include a multilingual audio guide. It’s best to arrive early in the day to avoid midday heat and get better parking. Families should know that the road to the park has sharp turns, so a compact, stable car is recommended.
