Mild climate, beautiful plants, sandy beaches with a gentle descent to the water, children's menus in taverns, comfortable hotels with beds for babies. All this makes Chania one of the best towns in Crete for a vacation with children.
Some of Chania's family-friendly hotels (Louis Creta Princess, Minoa Palace Resort & Spa - Imperial Beach Wing, Pilot Beach Resort, Toxo Hotel) have animators, though not always in Russian.
Limnoupolis Aquapark
One of the most interesting entertainments for children during a vacation in Chania will be a visit to the water park Limnoupolis. The 100-hectare site is a veritable kingdom of entertainment, with modern slides, a climbing wall and a black hole
It is located near the village of Varipetro, about 8 km from the city.
An 80-meter-long, 260-meter-long artificial river, a mini-football court, a cafe and so on.
The price of a vacation with children in this place in Chania is 25 EUR (for an adult) and 18 EUR (for a child).
Botanical Garden
Little tourists will also be interested in visiting the private botanical garden south of the city (15th kilometer of the Omalos-Chania highway). Here they will see Greek and Cretan vegetation in all its diversity, as well as flora from other parts of the world.
The entrance to the garden is free for kids, adults are charged 4 EUR. The facility is open from early April to the end of October.
The Museum of Printing
