Highlights
This private full-day trip takes you to two of Crete’s most popular attractions for children and adults alike — CRETAquarium and Dinosauria Park — before ending with free time in the vibrant capital, Heraklion. Marvel at the underwater world of the Mediterranean in one of Europe’s most modern aquariums, where sharks, rays, and hundreds of fish species glide past panoramic viewing windows. Step back millions of years at Dinosauria Park, wandering among life-size prehistoric giants, exploring the dino-hospital, and enjoying hands-on fossil digs or optional 5D experiences. Finish your day with a relaxed stroll through Heraklion’s charming streets, Venetian harbor, and Lion Square before your comfortable return to Chania.
• Sharks, rays, jellyfish, and colorful reef fish in a modern aquarium
• Life-size dinosaurs - walk among prehistoric giants and explore the interactive dino-hospital
• Free time in Heraklion – lunch, shopping, and a stroll through the Venetian harbor & Lion Square
