Stelios carefully guided us through the process, ensuring both our safety and the well-being of the animals. We had the incredible privilege of holding several snakes, feeling their smooth scales and gentle movements, and getting up close with various lizards. Stelios patiently answered every question, sharing fascinating facts about each creature's habitat, diet, and unique characteristics. His deep knowledge and genuine love for these animals are truly inspiring.

Read moreWhat a great place! I was a little apprehensive of visiting as I wouldn't say this would usually be my choice of somewhere to visit (and the thought of holding a snake or other reptiles), the same for the others in my group. But we decided to visit whilst visiting the honey museum, olive oil factory and melidoni cave all in the same day. We were so glad we did, greeted by the (surprisingly fast) tortoise that roams about the place, and then by the very friendly owners. The man in particular took our payment and then our group around the place, straight away showing us a small gecko and handing over to us. This was followed by various snakes and lastly a chameleon. He would only hand each one to you if you felt comfortable and you never felt pressured; you could tell just how passionate he is about all of the animals their and gave lots of information on them and how to handle, putting you at ease. After handing each one over he would walk off and leave you with them 😅 (whilst he spoke to other visitors) which was strange at first, but was actually another element that put you at ease as you felt very welcomed and trusted too. I never thought I would ever hold a snake, but ended up holding 3 (including 1 round the neck), the small gecko and the chameleon. A fantastic experience for all, and a must visit if you're nearby. Even if you've got any reservations, just go, you'll have...
Read moreIf you're after a zoo, this isn't it! The owner warned us before we paid, he doesn't have any Tigers! But if you're interested in reptiles, then this place is amazing - I've never been to anywhere else like it. It's a small place, but with a wide selection of amazing creatures. The owner is a lovely chap, passionate about rescuing and looking after reptiles and spent time with us telling us all about them. We all held a few beautiful snakes, a lizard, a small gheko and a chameleon. I've never really appreciated what these reptiles are like before, as I've only seen than behind glass - and they are really cool! My son adored spending time holding the python and milk snake and we all left with a real appreciation of them. 5eu to spend an hour and get to know these creatures was a highlight of our holiday. Easy parking on the road outside. Afterwards we popped down the road to the cave to cool off (4eu) and have a smoothie with a view. Great day...
