    Hiking

    A little secret - the bay is ideal for a short swim stop during the hike to the panoramic view over Matala. So be sure to take bathing suits with you, ideally together with bathing shoes. The water is wonderfully clear and you often have the bay all to yourself.

    This lonely bay also invites you to swim, no problem with this crystal clear water. What is also very important, you should wear a hat, since there is no higher vegetation. It continues on the limestone slabs to a deep incision, where it then goes up sharply to the right, and at the top the next breathtaking view awaits.
