Not loads of parking available, especially when coaches arrive. Amazing caves. It wasn't all open though in the caves but it was all pretty amazing. On our way down the steps everyone coming up was huffing and puffing so I took from that to stop to view down a few times on my way back up. It worked for me. A chillingly sad story if the history of the cave. Had a lovely coffee in the café on the way out. It was very reasonably priced and staff were very nice to. Very relaxing. The views would have been good if it was clearer.
Well done cave but small. Beautiful cave able to be seen in under 15 minutes. (We spent 5-10 inside plus the small walk from the entrance.) It’s essentially one room that you enter via a two-way staircase then do a small loop within one main room once inside. The path is decently lit (for a cave) but it is still relatively dark. It’s a comfortable cool inside (~15-16C/60F) but didn’t require a sweater. They provide a brochure/guide plus have a few small signs in multiple languages within the cave. It did get a little busy when we were entering via the stairs but not uncomfortably so. Cafe had decent outdoor seating, though on our way out all tables were taken so we skipped it. Toilets in the car park were nicer than expected. Car park can get quite busy though there is a bit of turnover with people leaving. They indicate to be careful when parking 11-1 certain days as used as a bus turnaround spot.
If this is your first time visiting a cave, it will be an amazing experience for you. I wasn't lucky enough to visit the whole cave as most of the area was closed, but I was still amazed by what I saw. The photos and video only represent 1% of the incredible things you can see with your own eyes. It's worth renting a car as the bus isn't the best solution.
Loved this! The cave is large with intricate rock patterns. My neck hurt from looking up so much. Be sure to read about the memorial to the people who died in the cave. Recommend checking this out!
An absolutely stunning cave featuring impressive stalactites and stalagmites! The pathways are well maintained and easily accessible, even for families with children. The view at the exit is breathtaking – a true highlight of the visit. Ticket prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended! 🪨✨👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
It is a rather small cave, and one will only take 15 -20 minutes to go around. It has a historical significance to the people of Crete. The road to the cave os spectacular. There is a cafe at the premises.
Beautiful monument in a Cave setting to a town who chose not to surrender their life and town. They still serve fresh squeezed orange juice with other local treats for a refreshing morning stop with clean restrooms before and after your visit.
Interesting cave to walk in , beautifully shaped stalagtites and stalagmites all over , to be noted that you need to have to be a little in shape as it's up and down and so for the walking you need to do.

I was at Reptisland with my girlfriend and we loved it! The owner is super nice and explains a lot about the different animals present. And yes the pictures dont lie, you get the opportunity to hold a LOT of them :) Definitely recommend, awesome place!
A wonderful place. The owner is a very nice guy and passionate reptile owner who really cares about the welfare and rescue of these beautiful animals. He owns a huge variety of reptile species which he can tell you all about and he even let's you hold some of them. Very educational for children and adults! Help his good cause by visiting this place. Definitely recommended!
The 2 hours we spent there went like a minute. I had the joy to play with 3 chameleons climbing on my arms and neck all in the same time. An amazing interaction with their tiny claws pinching gently, such a joy! We also got to gently hold some of the snakes. The place is filled with interesting creatures, some you can hold, some not, but you can see them at least. The experience all in all is definitely worth the drive.
Small and friendly setting but has loads to show. The staff are brilliant and the animals on show were made so accessible to hold. I didnt expect so much for the 5 euro entrance, glad I came.
This is one of the few places where I was genuenly impressed - by its simple, yet beautiful reptile exhibitions. They are owned by a guy which is extremely passionate about this. When we entered the building, he greeted us and showed us each animal present, explaining in detail everything. During his speech, he talked to us about how he got his first snake at 12, which shows how big his passion is! Overall, amazing place and I strongly recommend visiting!
Remote but well worth a visit. Owner is very personable, explains details about all the reptiles and allows visitors to hold some of the snakes, chameleons and there is a friendly large tortoise wandering around the premises. Interesting place to spend 30 to 45 minutes, and for all ages and great fun for children. Just a few kilometers from Meloni Cave, also fascinating to visit.
Reptisland is an absolute must-visit in Crete! ❤️🥰 The park is home to a fascinating variety of reptiles and snakes, and the experience was truly unforgettable. The staff are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate — we learned so much about reptile life and behavior. I completely fell in love with this place! Definitely one of the best experiences of my trip. 🫶🏽✨
The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable, and has many snakes that you can handle. Some of the children were somewhat rough with the animals, and it would be nice if there were more clear instructions on how to handle the animals so they feel safe and comfortable. However, the animals generally seemed relaxed, especially the tortoise that wanders around the shop.
