Belonging to a large European family of aquariums, the Cretaquarium offers its visitors the unique chance to plunge into the great marine world of the Mediterranean. From the big hunter sharks to the tiny seahorses, the sensational jellyfish, the diversity of marine life is set off against underwater Cretan seascapes such as the rock formations at Matala( South Crete)and the sea bed at Vai(North East Crete). « less

We live in Crete and we have visited Cretaquarium Thalassocosmos a lot of times.A nice place to see .I think its closed now because they are putting more tanks inside. Hopefully it will open soon again because kids love it. Most of the fishes are from the Mediterranean sea and for sure a very interesting approach on marine life. more
