What's at Waterworld?
Waterworld is the largest themed water park in Europe, built around an ancient Greek mythology theme. It has over 20 rides and attractions spread across a massive site. Here's what to expect:
- Abyss — the most intense ride, a near-vertical drop in total darkness
- Poseidon's Wave Pool — huge wave pool, great for all ages
- Lazy River — long winding ride for a relaxed float around the park
- Aphrodite's Bath — family-friendly area with gentler slides
- Children's areas — dedicated zones for young children with smaller slides and splash features
- Food and drink — multiple restaurants and bars inside the park
- Sun loungers — available throughout the park, some in shaded areas
- Lockers — available to rent at the entrance
A full day at Waterworld typically takes 6–8 hours to properly explore. Most visitors arrive when the park opens and leave mid-afternoon to avoid the late-day heat.
📍 Alex's Local Tips for Waterworld
- Arrive as early as possible — the park gets extremely busy in July and August by 11am. Gates open at 10am, aim to be there by 10:15.
- Bring water shoes — the ground between attractions gets very hot underfoot in summer.
- No outside food or drink allowed — Waterworld does not permit bringing in food, drinks or glass containers. There are restaurants and snack bars inside the park, so budget for meals on the day.
- Book lockers early — they go fast. There are lockers near the entrance for a small fee.
- Visit on a Tuesday or Wednesday — weekends and Mondays are the busiest days. Mid-week is noticeably quieter.
- Factor in the free 2nd day — if you're visiting in April, May, September or October, you get a completely free return visit. Don't forget to go to Customer Service before you leave.

🚙
Need a Ride to WaterWorld?
WaterWorld is about 3km from the main strip — street cabs overcharge tourists heading there. My family runs The Drivers Rentals. Rent a buggy for the day and drive yourself there and back. Cars from €38/day, buggies from €90/day. Book both together and save the hassle.
