Matala

Matala, quel endroit charmant ! Un site assez exceptionnel, une anse à l'abri d'une falaise érodée, un ancien petit port de pêche dont reste un seul treuil pour hâler haut les barques. Et maintenant des bars (pas les poissons, mais les bistrots !) branchés pour une animation nocturne estivale et festive. Matala fut un lieu de prédilection des hippies grâce aux grottes environnantes qui offraient des refuges gratuits. Cool, sea and sun ... love.... Malgré l'évolution du commerce de la mode balnéaire, Matala reste un lieu plein de charmes.

Matala, what a lovely place! A quite exceptional site, a cove sheltered by a cliff eroded, a former small fishing port which is one winch to haul up the boats. Now bars (not fish, but the bars!) Connected for a summer and festive nightlife. Matala was a favorite haunt of hippies through the surrounding caves that offered free shelter. Cool, sea and sun ... love .... Despite the development of trade in the swimwear, Matala is a place full of charms.

Ormai non è rimasto poi molto dello spirito che negli anni Settanta aleggiava in questi lidi, anzi, la destinazione è più che altro turistica, ma comunque è piacevole come tappa. Soprattutto per le particolarissime caverne "forate" che venivano utilizzate come abitazioni dalle comunità hippie che hanno vissuto qui

Now has not been that much of the spirit that hovered in the seventies to these shores, in fact, the destination is more touristy, but still it's nice as a stage. Especially for the very special caves "perforated" which were used as dwellings by the hippie community who have lived here

Nous voici à Matala dans le sud de la Crête! Matala est une ville ou vivaient les hippies.. Sur la photo on peux apercevoir sur les falaises des sortes de grottes. C'est la ou dormaient les hippies, dedans on y voient des lits en pierre fait à la main ainsi que des dessins.. Actuellement il y reste encore quelques hippies!
