OUR REVIEW

Matala - the place of spectacular sunsets, a bustling and popular seaside village which springs to life for its visitors. The place 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 in part.
Hotel Calypso is built into a hillside, surrounded by trees and green gardens.
It is a small family hotel of 20 rooms. Each has private bathroom, air conditioning, small fridge, telephone, safe, balcony with garden/hill view (the sea is not visible from the hotel itself), double glazed windows. Swimming can be enjoyed at the hotel's large swimming pool or Matala's nearby beach (5 minute walk). There is space for children to play outside and a playground. There is also parking and a taverna/cafe with terrace above the gardens. 

The deep sandy beach and the rest of Matala which you can enjoy as you please is a five minute stroll from the hotel.

The wonderful sandy beach of Kommos, which seems to extend forever to the west, and its adjoining substantial archaeological remains, are a short drive.

Not far from Matala is the Minoan Palace of Phaestos, the summer palace of Agia Triada, the antiquities of Gortys and many monasteries. You can enjoy swimming from three different nearby beaches. Matala has no big resort hotels and preserves a local and friendly atmosphere.

Ten minutes away, in the village of Pitsidia, horse-back riding is available.
