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.

Hi Elena,
Just to say a big 'thank-you' for a lovely holiday. My Mum and I had a great time staying at your hotel. Crete was so nice and the people were so friendly and kind - we had a fantastic time, but now we are home and it is raining and cold - you are so lucky to have the sun!

Kind regards,
Lisa Thurlow

Samaria Gorge
What can we say about Samaria Gorge! It is 18 Km long reputedly the longest in Europe and the walk that we take leads us through some of the most breathtaking scenery on the island.
There are ancient forests of pine and cypress, rare plants, soaring eagles and the stunning White Mountains.

Cretan Evening
A night to remember! An experience! In a typical tavern of Axo we invite you to sample traditional Cretan raki and the fine village wines. You will enjoy the Cretan music and your turn will come to show your paces at the dance troupe lead you in the steps of some of the easier dances. Make sure that you have your cameras and plenty of film.

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.
