The Dinosaurs of Crete: A Delight for Young Explorers!

Culture

Are you spending your holiday in Heraklion with your children? We all know that every child is fascinated by dinosaurs!

The burning question: Did dinosaurs once roam Crete?

To unveil the answer, head to the Natural History Museum of Crete, situated along the coastal avenue of Heraklion. Here, you'll encounter the mighty Argentinosaurus, the fascinating Horaptor, and, of course, the iconic T-Rex! (No need for further recommendations; the exhibits themselves are truly exciting.)

Dive deeper into the prehistoric world as you discover everything about the Deinotherium of Crete.

And if all that isn't enough, a visit to Dinosauria Park is highly recommended. Located at the former American base in Gournes, within the Municipality of Hersonissos, this park promises an adventure that will transport you back in time.
