South Crete - Matala + Hippie caves direct

Embark on a scenic journey across the Messara valley until you find yourself in the enchanting village of Matala, famed for its free-spirited hippie community of the 1960s, who found solace in the cavernous sanctuaries etched into the mountain. These caverns, with a history as Roman sepulchres, now share their narratives with visitors from around the world. While in Matala, seize the opportunity to revel in the crystal-clear waters, indulge in local cuisine, or simply savor a beverage along the sandy stretch. Myth intertwines with history here as it's believed to be the land where the mighty Zeus, in the guise of a bull, emerged from the sea with Europa in tow, setting the stage for the founding of Gortys. Both the ancient Minoans and the subsequent Romans claimed this area as their port. Yet, for many, it's the legacy of the hippies — those seekers of peace and love — that resonates strongest, as they once turned the historical Roman resting places of Matala into a beacon of their cultural movement during the '60s and '70s.
