We had a great stay at this lovely small hotel. It is only a three-minute walk from the center of Matala, yet very quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was simple but good. Our room was quiet, and the bathroom was completely new, very beautiful, and modern. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, always responding to any request.

Matala is a very small yet cozy village featuring a wide variety of restaurants and cafes suited for any taste and travel style - whether you are looking for a peaceful retreat or vibrant nightlife. The surrounding area offers plenty of quiet and scenic walking spots. All essential services are available locally; while there are no large supermarkets like Lidl in town, this is easily solved by renting a car. One thing to keep in mind is that there is no local police station, which became an issue for us when our car's front license plate went missing (likely stolen) and we had to travel quite far to handle it. If you are choosing Matala for a quiet getaway, be sure to pick accommodation further away from restaurants and larger hotels where music can play late into the night

Matala is a lively, colourful, music-centred little town, with a great selection of restaurants along the beach and the main promenade. A few small markets are at strategic points along the main street and stay open until late. The beach is nice with part of it free to access, while sun loungers and umbrellas are also available to rent at a reasonable price. The beautiful reef, with its famous caves, provides a stunning backdrop, and watching the sunset is a must. It can get quite windy at times, which can make spending time on the beach less pleasant. Fortunately, the cafés, restaurants, and shops offer a great alternative. The caves can be visited throughout the day, and a short climb up to them offers stunning views over the beach and sea. There are also a couple of nice cocktail bars in town, some of which are perfect spots for an aperitif while enjoying breathtaking views of the coastline. Musicians play at various establishments almost every evening, adding greatly to Matala’s lively atmosphere and unique charm.

Matala is a colorful, beautiful, and lively little town with a great atmosphere. It is perfect for beach days and a good starting point for day trips to nearby museums and archaeological sites. There is a huge selection of good restaurants. It is a good idea to arrive by car if you want to go on lots of trips and be independent. However, there are also bus connections, e.g. to Heraklion.

Matala is something different and when you there you just fell in love. Of course if you are looking for the crystal clear water, Matala is not the one, even though the surronding landscape is something beautiful. Nights in Matala can't be boring. There is always something to do and have fun. It is defenitley worth a visit.

Matala is one of those places you didn't know you needed to visit until you go.. and then never want to leave. A long, sandy beach, with beautiful clear water, Matala is big enough to have a wide selection of places to eat & shop and yet not be too big. And in Scala & George's Yard it has two very, VERY good restaurants.

Everything :) The courtyard was very nice to hangout in the evening, and the "balcony" on the other side is very private and nice for a day starting. The villa is spacious and has everything you may need The host was very nice and friendly. It's quite and close to the beach. We spent almost a week there and really enjoyed Matala and surrounding beaches. We recommend you to go the red beach, if you prefer less crowded beaches and also it's better on the windy days.

The apartment was very spacious and ideal for longer stays. Very well equipped kitchen and the washing machine was an added bonus. Although the apartment is further out of the village, the option of parking in the hotel while going to the beach and music festival was great. Breakfast in the hotel was excellent with great variety and made the price very
