Matala combines a unique and compelling heritage, ancient and modern history and a superb natural landscape. It is also conveniently located between Herakleion and Rethymno (two of the most important cities of Crete) and in the south coast of Crete and maybe the most beautiful one. Matala was once the place of the flower-power and the hippy-scene and there are still signs of that era like the “Today is life, tomorrow never comes!"

It is now one of the most important tourist attractions in Crete with many hotels, apartments, rooms, taverns and shops.
The beach of this bay, in the form of a reaping-hook, is still the same turquoise blue sea, while the red disk of the sun which sets in the evening horizon generates amazing pictures.

The cave houses, cut by the Cretan people from the early Stone Age, with their passages, stone beds and fireplaces, are now put under monumental care.

A place full of history as well since it was the ancient port of Phaistos and Gortys and a former fishing community which has developed into a modern holiday center. Matala was the port of Phaistos during the Minoan period, following the destruction of Kommos, and the port of Gortys during the Roman period when Gortys was proclaimed capital of Crete by the Romans.
A little further afield by car, north of Matala Bay, the archaeological site of Kommos offers Minoan ruins. You are also close to Phaistos and the Roman city of Gortyn.

All of this is just one of the thousand reasons that you have to visit Crete and lose yourself on this relaxing area of the world. Especially, the lower coast of Crete, which is also the southernmost frontier of Europe, has so far managed to escape the tidal wave of tourism that has engulfed the north of the island. This is where you can sense an older, truer, more timeless Crete. The mountains seem more imposing and barren; the villages seem smaller and lazier.
And in the bright sunlight, the contrasts of the island seem starker.
