About

Quick facts: Home to over 250,000 liters of seawater, this aquarium showcases Mediterranean and exotic marine life including sharks, octopuses, and seahorses. Visitors can walk through a stunning 36-meter underwater tunnel surrounded by colorful fish and sea creatures.

Highlights: The 360-degree underwater tunnel offers an immersive experience where you feel like you're walking on the seabed surrounded by marine life above and around you. The unique touch pool allows visitors, especially kids, to gently interact with starfish and sea urchins safely.

  • Bring a camera but avoid using flash to protect the marine life and get better photos.
