Part 5/9:
Next on the list is Matala Beach, located approximately 68 kilometers southwest of Heraklion. Known for its impressive caves and rock formations, Matala holds a unique place in Crete's tourist landscape. The caves, once used for burials during Roman and Christian epochs, are a fascinating glimpse into the island’s past.
Zac and Ine recommend a visit to these caves for a small entrance fee, revealing their historical significance and natural beauty. Matala is not just a beach, but a lively town buzzing with the spirit of its hippie past, making it a must-visit destination.
