Matala
 MATALA. Matala became famous because of its unique location in between the chalk-cliffs, by which the many holes give the place its characteristic face. In the sixties Matala was a domain of the hippies. Nowadays the holes can be visited during the day, at night they close them. Matala is situated at the south coast of Crete at the end of the Messara valley. The closer one enters from Festos to Matala, the more the mountains come closer to each other from the right and the left side. The beautiful bay on which Matala is located opens up to the west which gives the visitors and inhabitants every evening a stunning sunset. The village expands to the interior.The old village centre is closed for traffic, there is a parking place just at the beach.
