Matala - Discover the lively seaside village of Matala, a vibrant and iconic spot in South Crete.
Matala offers more than just a historical experience — it is a dynamic coastal village brimming with color, creativity, and a sense of freedom. Each year, its charming streets are adorned with vivid murals, artistic paintings, and playful messages that reflect its renowned hippie heritage. Seafront cafés and traditional tavernas line the coast, creating a laid-back summer ambiance where genuine Cretan hospitality seamlessly merges with a bohemian flair. The blend of turquoise waters, colorful homes, music, and art gives Matala its truly distinctive character.
The organized sandy beach is situated right below the famous cliffside caves. These caves, carved by humans in prehistoric times and later used as Roman tombs, gained worldwide fame in the 1960s and 70s when thousands of hippies from across the globe gathered here, transforming Matala into a symbol of freedom and alternative living. - Komos Beach - After exploring Matala, head to Kommos Beach, one of South Crete’s most stunning and untouched beaches. Spanning several kilometers, Kommos is renowned for its expansive golden sands, natural dunes, and tranquil atmosphere. A small grove of tamarisk trees (almyriki) lines the shore, offering natural shade, while the crystal-clear waters invite you for a refreshing swim.
