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.

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.

Phaistos-Mires-Gortys-Matala
We visit the famous Minoan Palace at Phaistos. It stands on a hill at the edge of the Messara plain, which the dominates.
Phaistos was one of the oldest and most important Cretan cities and is second to Knossos in archaeological terms. The dynasty of Rodamanthys is said to have ruled there.
At Mires the capital of the fertile Messara plain, you are free to stroll through the market at your own place.

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.
