About
Crete, the large Greek island, is a place of many beauties and contradictions, carrying a history that was born millenniums ago but remains visible even today. Images, sounds, essences and flavors of the past satisfy the senses. At the place that gave birth to the unique Minoan Civilization, the “Cretan Thematic Park” offers guests the opportunity to get an insight assisted by modern technology and two dance theatre performances, while they enjoy Minoan flavors offered by Cretan products.The hall of “Cretan Thematic Park” is found near the largest city of Crete, Heraklion, in the town of Archanes, the center of reference of the Minoan Civilization, the first civilization of Europe that bloomed 4.000 years ago centered at Knossos.Showing respect to our cultural heritage, we inspired a future based on the values of the Minoan Civilization: love, respect towards nature, joy of life and creation.

We were seated at long tables and our seats were right next to the stage. The music was loud, the lights were low, and the video at the beginning of the show was not very good. The dancers came out and some were good but the overall show was lacking. It was hard to see exactly what we were eating and we felt that some of the items were not getting passed to us since we were at the end of the table.

I had the miisfortune to be taken here for an 'authentic Cretan' evening last night. It took place in a massive hall filled with luckless tourists like myself. There were 3 massive screen with images of Crete. The ambience was of a cult experience! Half lit and loud music. The dancing was very lpoor and the only live music a recorder and a half hearted hand drum. The costumes were amateur and the whole performance was bogus -I had to leave 15 minutes in as the video played as part of the 'experience' it was so old fashioned it was laughable. We were given tasters of food not a meal at all and had to eat it in the dark! A thoroughly unpleasant experience and a complete waste of money. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Shame on Cretans for allowing this sham to represent their country to visitors!

The worst show I've ever seen. It was very basic, slow, boring, aged technology on the film, the food was mediocre at best and the dancers very weak. I've seen better at amateur shows. This is a rip off and not worth wasting your time or money on.

One week ago i have the chance to visit the new Cretan Thematic Park in Arhanes Village.

I got impressed with the place, the dancers and of course with the 3D Film Knossos - A journey in time.
But what i liked most was the food and all the Minoan menu that they are offering.

I fully recommend this place for touristσ who want to explore & learn the Minoan Civilization.
