Holiday events are currently being held at the Cretaquarium on the island of Crete, complete with a Santa Claus on hand amidst the sharks and hundreds of others of marine organisms hosted in the facility’s aquariums, and will run through January 5th.
Summer and sea go hand in hand, but normally the experience doesn’t take you much beyond the first few metres surrounding a beach. At the Cretaquarium-Thalassocosmos Park, people of all ages can discover the hidden depths of the Mediterranean and its fascinating marine environment, have fun and let their imagination run wild.
In addition to viewing the marine life in aquariums, Cretaquarium has organised a number of activities targeting all age groups that are designed to offer visitors a very enjoyable day out and some new, unique experiences.
Among these is a workshop where participants can make their own clay models of marine organisms and then paint them, or even “invent” their own organisms and equip them with the tools they need to survive in a specific environment, or “enact” their imagined organism in a group setting.
Alternatively, one can visit the specially designed ‘touch pool’ where visitors can observe and touch invertebrate marine species, feel the strange structures and adaptation of their bodies and experiment with touch. They also become acquainted with marine organisms within the aquarium, many of which are commonly found in Greek seas.
