A real feel good hippy vibe will be on the agenda at the Matala Beach Festival (22, 23 & 24 June 2018). This year will be the eight year of an event that continues to delight regulars and newbies to the island of Crete.

This gorgeous little getaway destination attracted the likes of Joni Mitchell back in the 60s and she even wrote a song about Matala called “Carey” which featured on her album Blue. The 60s and 70s was the era which saw hippie travellers live on the beach and in the nearby caves of Matala.
