Kids day
Take wonderful photos with your kids and enjoy a guiding tour in
Amazonas Park, a private zoo, which allows your kids to test their skills in
ceramics and enjoy interactive activities and attractions in Labyrinth Park,
the most famous family destination.
Our tour starts with first stop in Anopolis, to the Ceramic Workshop. In
this place, we have the opportunity to revive upon guidance the traditional art
of pottery, dating back to the ancient times of Minoan Crete. Enjoy the
creation of ceramics, learn the techniques and try yourself for your own
ceramic creations. At the end, there is a large showroom where you can see
handmade ceramic household and ornamental, Pyrex dishes, Archaic Minoan pottery
copies with olives on them – the ancient symbol of peace.
We continue our tour until Hersonissos in Labyrinth Park, a family
destination park with numerous activities and attractions. It is nestled in the
scenic hills above the town of Hersonissos in an area of 15 hectares. The main
theme of the park is the Labyrinth, but there will be plenty of other things to
do as well! Enjoy the variety of video viewings on the Minoan Civilization shown
throughout the day in the projector room. Participate in a round of Mini-Golf,
or allow the children a turn on the many quad bikes available! There is an
Eco-Garden for nature lovers with Cretan aromatic herbs, local fruit and
vegetables and many flowering plants, all labeled in many languages. Naturally,
the Cretan Stone Labyrinth can also be enjoyed by the tiny tots.
After exercising your brain and legs, an impressive café, reminiscent of
ancient Knossos, is there to serve and relax you! Refreshing drinks, a choice
of mouthwatering and crisp salads and sandwiches and plenty of ice cream for
the kids, will keep your hunger and thirst at bay!
Our last stop is in the village of Neapolis. We arrive in Amazonas Park, a
private zoo which focuses on animals from South America, especially parrots and
monkeys. There are also some domestic animals like donkeys and goats. Walking
in the zoo, we see some monkey species which are the well-known monkeys from
Gibraltar. They behave relatively quietly and the smaller monkeys are very
active. They jump on your shoulders, if someone is next to you, they will jump
from person to person. They are fed by a nice and informative animal keeper
with bananas.
