“Diving for knowledge in the city centre”
Heraklion city centre has always been a landmark area for culture and learning about the city. A meeting point for different cultures and worlds, it has always played a key role for townsfolk and visitors alike.

As a living “organism” dedicated to knowledge and raising public awareness of issues concerning the marine environment, Cretaquarium is for the first ever time leaving its hospitable haven at Gournes for a short while and heading for Heraklion city centre, to invite friends to come “diving for knowledge”.






By making sea changes to the décor in DOKIMAKIS bookshop, Cretaquarium-Thalassocosmos is coming to familiarize visitors to Heraklion with the sea world, and bring them knowledge about the marine environment.
The choice of venue was no mere coincidence, since the bookshop premises are just as dedicated as Cretaquarium Thalassocosmos is to handing on knowledge.

So if you find yourself near Dokimakis bookshop in the next few days, don’t hesitate to come diving. You can be sure a unique, wonderfully cooling world awaits you.
