If you’re looking for a place that promises a full day of splashy fun and family-friendly excitement, the Pantheon Water Park in Crete could be just what you need. While I haven’t personally visited, I’ve gathered enough details to give you a solid rundown on what to expect—and whether it’s worth a spot on your travel list.
What I really like about this water park is how it combines thrilling slides like the Pantheon Warzone with relaxing areas such as the lazy river and the wave pool. Plus, the variety of food options and amenities makes it a practical choice for a day out. On the flip side, a potential downside is that the park isn’t suitable for children under 3 years or non-swimmers, so keep that in mind if you’re traveling with very young kids or less confident swimmers.
This experience suits travelers who love adrenaline rushes, enjoy family activities, or simply want a convenient, all-in-one water adventure without leaving Crete. Whether you’re here for a solo thrill-seeking day or a relaxed family outing, Pantheon Water Park offers enough variety to keep everyone entertained.

What Makes Pantheon Water Park Stand Out

This water park, sprawling over 50,000 square meters, really aims to cater to a variety of tastes and energy levels. Whether you’re craving heart-pumping rides or just want to float leisurely, you’ll find something here.
The highlight, without a doubt, is the Pantheon Warzone slide, a towering 47-meter-high thrill ride that reaches speeds up to 70 km/h. That’s not just a big slide—it’s one of the tallest tower slides in Europe, perfect for adrenaline junkies. We loved the way the park combines extreme rides with more laid-back options like the lazy river and the wave pool, so it manages to be both exciting and relaxing.

The Rides and Attractions That Will Keep You Busy

If you’re into speed and thrills, the Pantheon Warzone will be your main attraction. It’s quite a sight, and from reviews, it’s clear it lives up to expectations with its height and speed. Many visitors mention that it’s a “must-try” for thrill-seekers, though younger kids or those uneasy with heights might prefer the gentler slides.
For a more competitive edge, the Beyond Horizon mat racer slides are a fun addition—Crete’s only mat racers. You can race friends or family, adding an extra layer of fun. The Poseidon slide, a 27-meter ride, is the first of its kind worldwide, which adds a bit of exclusivity to your visit.
Children’s zones are quite thoughtfully designed. The Mini Olympians, a three-floor kids’ water slide tower, is perfect for little adventurers, while the toddler spray area keeps the tiniest ones entertained safely. It’s clear the park makes an effort to ensure kids have plenty of options that are age-appropriate.
Relaxation and Refreshment

After the high-energy rides, many visitors love unwinding in the lazy river, which gently drifts you around the park, or in the relax pool. It’s a good way to cool down, catch your breath, and enjoy the sun.
When hunger strikes, the park offers five food spots. You’ll find street food favorites like gyros, pizza, burgers, and hot dogs—perfect for quick, satisfying bites. For those with a sweet tooth, ice cream and waffles are popular treats. The main restaurant also provides a buffet-style international cuisine, which is a handy option if you’re feeding picky eaters or want a sit-down meal.
Drinks are available at two pool bars, with options ranging from cocktails and mocktails to coffee, beer, and soft drinks. The cashless NFC system means you can pay easily without lugging cash around, adding to the convenience.
Facilities and Practical Details

On the practical side, the park scores well with free parking, lockers, changing rooms, and baby changing facilities. Everything is set up with families and guests’ convenience in mind.
Safety is a priority, with lifeguards on duty, a first aid station, and an on-site doctor. This means you can relax knowing that help is close if needed. The park also offers free sunbeds and umbrellas, so you can chill between rides without hassle.
One thing to note is that facilities like shopping at Agora Boutique and some extras are available at an extra cost. Also, for safety reasons, users of certain attractions like Poseidon’s Wave Pool and Lazy River must know how to swim or be accompanied by a swimmer. Tandem riding is only permitted on open slides for children aged 3-14 or between 1.00m and 1.50m in height.
