Acqua Plus Water Park: A Unique Oasis

Celebrating two decades, Acqua Plus stands out as the Balkans' pioneering water park. It’s not just the thrilling slides that attract over 100,000 visitors yearly, but its stunning location. Perched atop a hill, enveloped by mountains, the park is a green sanctuary. Amidst this lush landscape, exotic greenery thrives, from towering palms to delicate marigolds, creating a verdant retreat for water enthusiasts.

Crete boasts its largest water park, sprawling across 67,000 square meters. It features 34 thrilling slides for adults and 15 fun-filled rides for children. The park is a pioneer in the region for adopting electronic waterproof wristbands. Visitors initially pay only the entry fee and settle the total cost upon leaving. Sunbeds and umbrellas are included in the ticket price.

Advanced water purification systems are utilized, with annual Special General Check-ups (SGC) ensuring health and safety standards. On-site facilities include a first aid station and a team of trained lifeguards.
