2 Aquarium Visits in Greece Weighed Up Side by Side

1.Heraklion Center, Local Market and Creta Aquarium

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 61 reviews · 6 hours · from $23Our pick

Travel by air-conditioned coach from resorts across eastern Crete to Cretaquarium and central Heraklion. You get about 80 minutes at the aquarium, then roughly 3.5 hours for Liberty Square, Koules Fortress, the food market, cafés, museums, and shopping. English, German, and French support is available, with guide Olga praised for her care.

“We were not picked up until an hour after the pick up time. It was clear they had missed us off as they eventually sent a mini bus to get us. This meant when we got to the aquarium (to meet up with the coach that should have picked us up) we only had 45 min to pay and get round the aquarium. We refused as we wanted to take our time and enjoy it not rush through it which was disappointing as we wanted to go to the aquarium. On the positive Heraklion was lovely and the local market was good but make sure you take lots of cash!”

2.Aquarium Entry Ticket with Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 30 reviews · from $11Best value

Visit Corfu Aquarium for a 45-minute guided tour of Mediterranean sea life, then explore the Reptile House with snakes, lizards, turtles, frogs, salamanders, and a crocodile. The guide speaks Greek and English. You also get free time to look around at your own pace.

“The guide was not necessary. He spoke very fast and was boring. Also the aquarium is really small. There are not many reptiles to see. Luckily the price was not too high.”
