Cretaquarium

Cretaquarium

This excellent aquarium contains over 250 species, from crustaceans and jellyfish to many-toothed sharks. The 2,500 sea creatures are displayed in 30 tanks, all spectacularly housed in an old NATO air base just to the east of Iráklion. The marine life is well labeled in English, but the aquarium’s English-language audio guide is highly recommended.
