Product Info

Matala Beach, located on Crete’s south coast, is the perfect destination for a day trip. Famous for its stunning views, crystal-clear waters, and rich history, Matala offers something for everyone—whether you're a beach lover, history enthusiast, or interested in local culture.

The beach itself features soft golden sand and inviting clear waters, ideal for swimming or simply relaxing under the sun. You can also explore the fascinating caves in the cliffs. These caves, which were once used as ancient tombs, later became homes for hippies in the 1960s. Take a walk through them and imagine the lifestyle of those who lived there during that time.

After some time at the beach, head to the charming village of Matala. The village is adorned with colorful murals and filled with small shops offering local crafts. You can enjoy a delicious meal at a seaside taverna, sampling fresh fish, traditional Greek dishes, and perhaps a glass of raki, a popular local drink.

A trip to Matala Beach offers the perfect mix of relaxation, exploration, and culture. You’ll leave with unforgettable memories of this unique and beautiful place.
