Welcome to Matala Crete - the place of spectacular sunsets, a small fishing village where the caves became a paradise for the "hippies" in the 70's. The hippies are missing, but Matala magic still flows and the village has been spruced up - well done!

We are very excited for having the opportunity to guide you in Matala Crete, Greece and in our hotel. We believe that Matala is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and we are really happy to be here.

We speak Greek, English and also understand a little German. The best part of our job is the opportunity we have to meet people from many different countries. We often organize "International" nights where people cook something traditional from their home country and we share it all together with good wine and a lot of fun. For all of you planning your next vacation to the magical place of Matala, Matala Dimitris Hotel is waiting to accommodate you for one of the most enjoyable holidays of your life, through a family and friendly environment.

Posted by Daria Festari - from Matala DimitrisVilla Guestbook

I grew up with two very special friends, one from Ethiopia and one from America. But now that we are 30, our roads separeted. I am in Italy, Alfredo is in London and Mike is in America. We decided to have a reunion and we chose Dimitris villa in Matala. Alfredo took a flight from London, I took a flight from Rome and Mike took one from Boston. It was the perfect place for such a special time. We had so much fun and all was made even better by Elena, the lady of the hotel, who is so laid back and friendly that we never felt like guests. Alfredo, Mike and I have deceided that every year we will reunite in this paradise place. Inexpensive, beautiful and relaxing!!!! Thank you Elena!!!!!

Imbros Gorge
Imbros is every bit as spectacular as Samaria gorge, but on a smaller scale.Here also you can walk on one of the ancient pathways of Crete, unchanged for centuries.The path meanders along the dry streamed under the oaks, cypresses and wild olive trees, between the aromatic shrubs.

Knossos Museum
One hundrent years ago King Minos and Knossos were justnames in the myths and legends of the ancient Greeks.
Then in 1900 AD Arthur Evans began to dig on a hill called \"Kefala\" just behind Heraklio and discovered the lost civilization of the Minoas.
The Palace of Knossos stands today a tribute to the vision of this pioneering archaeologist ready to amaze the visitor.

Chania-Rethimno-Kournas
Chania is the old capital of Crete and has a distinct Venetian influence with its lovely hurbour and beautiful architecture. Chania is great for shopping and if you are buying presents and souvenirs this excursion is for you.There is the famous Leather Lane, the gold and jewellery shops of Halidon street and the busy Chania market, all a few minutes walk of each other.
