The guy who runs it does it for the love of the animals!

Our visit was the highlight of our visit to Crete. We made the mistake of going to the other aquarium near Heraklion which was 8 euros and whilst it had tanks of what you would normally expect, sharks, tropical fish, sting rays etc, it was lifeless and the same as any other aquarium you will have been to. Takes half... More

We went on a rainy morning and had second thoughts about going in after standing outside! But so glad we did. such a large variety of animal in a smallish space. note that all animals are rescue animals. The owners take customer care to a new level and even let me put the 10 -12 foot python over my shoulders!... More

We visited Aquaworld in Hersonissos last week. It was amazing. We saw the animals getting fed, we were able to touch all the animals, I had a snake around my neck, a thing I never thought I would have done. It's the best 6 euro I have ever spent, an amazing day out - my only regret is that I... More

We made the mistake of waiting until the last day of our holiday before visiting the aquarium. You pay six euros entrance on your first visit but you can then go back whenever you want for free, They do amazing work rescuing animals and you get to see lizards snakes turtles fish and lots of other stuff. Brilliant

Aqua world is a fantastic place, it's more like a rescue shelter for reptiles and aquatic life. but the couple who run it are very knowledgeable and friendly, they are happy to talk to you all day about their animals and their life story's. it's about 6 euro for adults but that entitles you to unlimited accesses throughout your holiday...

It was a really special experience to see the sea turtle up close, since you never see them in captivity. This one is... More

Run by a couple who truly love their work - go on a Friday if you want to see the snakes being fed. Great for kids to pet turtles and gekkos and grown ups can handle the big pythons. Very informative and enthusiastic people who really know each animal. Pay once and go as many times as you like, so... More

After initially standing outside wondering if the reviews were a joke, we ventured in and hand a brilliant time!! John was brilliant and told us all about the reptiles. It was a wonderful experience to be hold one of the pythons. Well worth €6 for a years membership!
