The park opened in 1994 as Greece's first water park, marking an important moment for the country's leisure industry. It quickly became one of the largest facilities of its kind in southeastern Europe.
The park serves as a gathering place for families during the warm months, offering spaces where people spend time together and enjoy water-based recreation. It represents how Greeks prefer to spend their leisure time with close friends and relatives in large social groups.
