Tour to Behind the Scenes of CretAquarium

Sixty tanks, containing more than 2,000 marine organisms and…countless questions! How are fish and sharks fed? Where does the water of the tanks come from? How do animals reproduce? How are sea-turtles cared for?

If your love and curiosity about the sea world of the Mediterranean is not fulfilled after the tour around the tanks of CretAquarium, you may visit behind the scenes in an unseen side of the Aquarium where its daily operations take place.  

This is a special tour during which you can experience the technology that supports the Thalassokosmos operations, such as the preparation of feeding of the animals and tanks safety checks.

You will also see the quarantines:  namely the areas where new animals are adapted before being placed in tanks, where sick animals are cared for, and where the reproduction and growth of certain organisms takes place.
