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.

Sauberes Zimmer, sehr herzlicher Empfang und freundlicher Service. Allerdings, Zimmer klein und einfach, kein Fenster zum öffnen, nur die Eingagstür kann geöffnet werden. Technik schlecht gewartet: Klimaanlage kühlt nicht, Fernseher kein Empfang.

Très bien

Parfaites localisation pour visiter Matala et les plages des environs . L’endroit est très calme , et l’hôtesse très sympathique. L’immeuble est proche de la plage , mais sa localisation par le gps de l’annonce mène au centre du village alors qu’il faut tourner à gauche après être entré dans le village ..ceci dit de nombreux panneaux guide jusqu’à Garifalia Studio’s
