The park is split up in to lands each with a variety of scary rides, children’s rides and snack areas.

I visited in August and thought it would be really packed with children as it was the schools summer holidays, taken this into account we decided to arrive super early. The park gates open at 10 am to allow you to buy your parking ticket for the day (currently 5 euros per car), you can then go and queue at the main entrance of the park if you already have your tickets the main park gates open at 11 am.

The first area we visited on arrival was Egypt which has pretty much taken some famous monuments from Egypt and recreated them in Spain they even have a semi replica of the Port of Alexandria. The first ride we went on was called the Falls of the Nile and since it was a really hot day when we visited this was a welcomed ride. There were 6 of us placed into a sarcophagus you are then shot off along a narrow river then taken up a high shoot when you then experience a stomach turning drop and a complete and utter soaking, the ride continues much the same way until the ride turns you around and you experience the drops but backwards. All in all a great way to cool down on a hot day I’d give this ride 8/10.

The second area we visited was called Greece and the rides and whole area was themed on ancient Greek legends.

The first ride we went on hear was called the Titanide which is a looping coaster of over 60mph with lots of hair raising twists turns and drops, in fact we enjoyed this one so much and the queue was so short that we went on twice in a row.

The next ride that we went on in the land of Greece was called Tritons Fury which is again another log flume ride (we had dried off from the previous soaking!) this ride is really a bigger version of the 1st log flume we went on however after doing some research on my return I discover that the theme for this ride is telling the marine adventures of the ancient inhabitants of Crete and Mycenae.

The best ride for drying off in the land of Greece is The Icaruses which is basically a giant swing. They have 3 rows of swings and it spins you around for a while giving you a lovely refreshing breeze and fabulous views over the Mediterranean.

The final ride we went on in Greece was The Labyrinth of the Minotaur which is a sit you down shoot at things with a laser gun ride giving you the opportunity to get higher scores than your friends major benefits of this ride are its in a cool air conditioned building and is great for all ages be you 8 or 58!

The next land we moved onto was Rome the first ride we went on in this and as the Magnus Colossus which is basically a runaway train ride top tip for this ride is bring knee pads as you do get bumped about a bit!

The next ride we went on was new to us and was called Inferno they sit 8 people to a pod 4 facing backwards 4 facing forwards you then get shot upwards and backwards (or forwards depending on which way you faced at the start) you are then spun and dropped and twisted upside down a fantastic fun ride.

The last major thrills of note in Terra Mitica are The Flight of the Phoenix which is a fantastic 54m freefall drop ride.

Ticket prices are quite high on the park gates they are currently charging €37 for a day pass however as I booked my holiday through packyourbags.com call centre they were doing a special offer of buy one get one half price plus we also got free lunches in the park! The prices I paid through them was £37pp so with our offer for 6 adults we paid £166.50 so we saved a great £55.50

First stop is the city of Athens. Everyday, there are hundreds of tourists visiting the staggering city of Athens, particularly in Acropolis. If you are a fan of skyscrapers and other fascinating modern structures, you will surely appreciate the architecture that can be found here in Acropolis. Moreover, the city of Athens is also known for the military ceremony when the guards change their shifts. This can be seen at the residence of the president of the country. Aside from that, you will also get to enjoy Athens at night, especially if you are an avid fan of night clubs and bars.
Because of the activities that can be done here in Athens, some people opt not to leave the city and spend the most of their holiday here.

Another popular tourist destination here in Greece is Thessaloniki. Just like Athens, foreign visitors also rush to Thessaloniki because of the amazing architecture, particularly the Byzantine churches. These religious sites are considered by UNESCO as part of the World Heritage Sites all over the world. In this city, you may also visit the archeological museum. Be prepared to be amazed with the huge collection of jewelry that serves as the remains of the Macedonian era. Moreover, you can also find antique as well unique marble statues here in Thessaloniki.

You will probably get tired with all the walking and sightseeing you’ll be doing on your holiday in Greece. Therefore, to experience relaxation, fun, and the best of the country, you should not forget to hit the Greek islands for some sun, sand, and sparkling waters. There are different tropical islands here in Greece, including the infamous Santorini and Crete. Several water sports activities can be enjoyed on these islands, such as scuba diving, parasailing, wind surfing, and more. And because of the unspoiled environment within reach, you may also partake in some hiking and trekking as well.

You don’t have to sulk in your hotel room once the night strikes in Greece. In Mykonos, you can jump from one club to another until the small hours. The nightlife here in Mykonos is vibrant and you relax (or party!) in all kinds of nightclubs, trendy bars, fine dining restaurants and of course, luxurious hotels. And with all the beautiful people that you will find during your holiday, you would think that the Greek Gods and Goddesses came down to Earth just to party.

See to it that you discover the best of Greece before you leave, so you will not regret anything once you are back at home.
