Matala is a legendary seaside village in Crete that beautifully combines history and natural beauty. The golden beach of Matala is known worldwide, as the caves on its cliffs hosted the wild parties of hippies during the 1960s and 70s. Today, the beach, with its crystal-clear waters, remains stunning, and the stone settlement from that era adds a touch of glamour from a bygone time.
