My wife and I visited Aquaworld during our trip to Crete and love it so much, we went back twice more during our weeks holiday. Price: 6 Euros for Adults - However, once visited, you can visit as many times as you want during your holiday for no extra charge. Location: We did have trouble finding it at first. If... More

This took some finding, but once we found it my wife and I both found it a great experience. This is owned and managed by a lovely couple who were very welcoming and very knowledgeable. It's not the biggest of places but is packed with sealife and reptiles. 5 stars all the way!

My wife and I visited Acua World aquarium after reading reviews on trip advisor and we were still amazed! John the guide makes this place, literally, and his knowledge of the animals is outstanding. He gives a very personal approach and let's everyone get involved, he took time to answer any questions and didn't seem to have a set agenda.... More

My daughter & I visited three times during the first week of May. My daughter loved everything about the reptile garden, especially feeding time, hence three visits. The aquarium also offers a wide range of interesting sea life & a special mention for Stephanie, the blind turtle. All in all an excellent place to visit, well kept, and full marks... More

You can see sharks, tortoise, different fishes there. And I think your children will like it) And it's better to go there by yourself, take a bus and go for 5 minutes)

A group of friends were visiting from the States and I took them to the Aquaworld Aquarium in Hersonisos -- and I'm so happy I did. Although they have been used to larger attractions in the U.S. they were absolutely enchanted by this little gem. It just goes to show you that ...size truly doesn't matter. The owners, John and...

In fact, in some ways Aquaworld surpasses the larger aquariums... More
