The Aquarium of Rhodes, also known as the Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes, is both a research institute and a public aquarium. Built in the 1930s during the Italian occupation, its Art Deco design adds historical charm. Inside, visitors explore tanks featuring local species like octopuses, sea turtles, and colorful fish, all native to the Mediterranean. The aquarium also educates on marine conservation and the region's underwater ecosystems, making it a compact but enriching stop.
