Marine Life Museum of Rethymnon

The Museum of Submarine Life is situated at Arapatzoglou street, at the center of Rethymno's old city. It was founded by the "Moshaki" family, in memory of their lost child, who drowned in the sea.

The largest part of the exhibits are made up of shells, while a few vertebrates, sponges and fish are also on display. A visit to the Marine Life Museum is a delightful experience for the whole family. It is dedicated entirely to the sea life around Rethymno and exhibits an extensive collection of beautiful flora and fauna, including colorful shells, sponges, mollusks, fossils, and fish, which are procured locally. For visitors who want a glimpse into the depths of the sea without having to get wet, this museum is the ideal destination. It is a perfect place for kids, too; not only will they have a great time but also broaden their knowledge of the sea creatures of Crete!
