2Matala Beach
Matala Beach, located on Crete’s southern coast, is famous for its unique caves carved into the cliffs, which were once home to ancient Romans and later a haven for hippies in the 1960s. The golden sand and clear waters provide the perfect setting for a relaxing day at the beach.
Matala’s vibrant atmosphere is complemented by a lively village offering traditional tavernas, shops, and an annual music festival. The beach’s rich history and bohemian vibe make it a must-visit destination for those seeking a mix of relaxation and culture.
