What's nearby

  • Above the beach at Matala, on the south coast of Crete, are a number of caves carved into the cliffside. During the Roman rule of Crete, the caves housed tombs. In the 1960s, the by-then empty caves hosted hippies who used them to camp out in. Matala still has a slight counter-culture feel to it.

Lovely Spacious House and Great Location

We had a great holiday in this house and lacked for nothing. The air conditioner was great in the middle of summer.
