When it comes to things to do in Crete, you couldn’t be in a better resort. You’ve got prime access to Malia Ruins, Milatos Caves and the traditional village of Koutouloufari for your history fix, and go-karting tracks and horse riding stables right on your doorstep.

Acqua Plus Waterpark

With rides called Giants of Terror, Spacebowl and the Black Hole, you’re in for an adrenaline rush. It’s the most popular waterpark in Crete and contains over 50 slides, splash zones and games. Alongside its thrills and spills, guests can grab a inflatable and float along the lazy river or take a dip in the main pool.

Sunloungers are also on hand, as well as hot tub, inflatable castle, sports courts and playground. As for food and drink, there’s a selection of easy bites, ice cream parlors and cocktail stands.

CretAquarium

Spot sharks, stingrays and clown fish as you weave in and out of 60 tanks containing multi-coloured sealife. There’s over 2,000 marine organisms including sea turtles, starfish and octopus. Bag yourself a behind the scenes tour and get up close and personal as professionals feed the sharks. There’s also a tour for small explorers, where your mini travellers can learn about the magic of the sea floor in a fun way.

Regular events and exhibitions are held here, and for an exclusive experience, you can book a dinner at the Aquarium restaurant where you’ll be surrounded by fascinating fish tanks.
