A touch of the flair of the former hippie culture through Mátala still blows a bit. In the 60s, many hippies from all over the world settled here and populated (and littered) the living caves. Still one meets, now in the years old Althippies in the place. In the meantime, one sells self-made jewelery or pretends to be a painter.

Certainly not a must in the high season. For me it was very nice to walk through Matala in the off-season!

Matala Beach is really a dreamlike bay. As an insider tip... don't lie down on the loungers, lie under the trees at the very back at the edge of the bay. Then you have a little more hippi feeling than under the umbrella 😅
