Camping Matala

Camping Matala Camping Matala is a large ground of 40.000 m2 situated at to the beach of Matala gives you the pos Matala has something for everyone.

Although it has become a popular tourist destination it still retains the charm and character of the quiet fishing village it started as at the beginning of the 20th-century, and the laid-back lifestyle of the hippies of the 60’s and 70's lives on. Half the beach is fringed by tamarisk trees, leading the eye on to impressive formations of sandstone rock cliffs with their famous caves sliding into the sea at an odd angle, creating one of the most unusual beachscapes on the island. A masseuse sets up a tent on the beach, and cafés and tavernas have terraces overlooking the beach and out to sea ... after a day on the beach or exploring the village you can sit and watch the sunset over the Libyan Sea, looking out over the islands towards Africa. There have been many pages of history here. Nobody knows quite who started caves but it seems likely that they were first hollowed out as Roman or early Christian tombs. There are other ruins at the eastern end of the village and if you go snorkelling in the clear waters of Messara Bay there are ancient ruins to be seen in the depths, while sometimes the wind blows hot and sandy from Africa ...
Matala it is one of just over 400 beaches in Greece that have been awarded a Blue Flag. This exclusive eco-label is given to beaches that offer cleanliness and safe bathing areas and has strict criteria dealing with water quality, environmental management and safety. There is a lifeguard and first aid facilities, as well as toilets and a shower. Near the beach are opportunities for learning about environmental projects, such as with Archelon, the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece, and the beaches of Matala, Kommos and Red Beach come under Natura 2000, a European Union network of nature protection areas established to assure the long-term survival of Europe's most valuable and threatened species and habitats. At the beach there are sport facilities as well as activities for children, and if you would like to go further afield you can also rent a car, bicycles and motorbikes. Yet all this is only 75 km from Iraklion.

Τη δεκαετία του ’60, τα Μάταλα, ένας φτωχός, ψαράδικος οικισμός στη νότια Κρήτη, απέκτησε παγκόσμια φήμη με αναφορές στον διεθνή τύπο και αναδείχθηκε σε «σημείο αντιλεγόμενο» της τοπικής κοινωνίας προκαλώντας την μήνιν της εκκλησίας και την παρέμβαση του στρατιωτικού καθεστώτος των Αθηνών. Χίπηδες απ’ όλο τον κόσμο έμεναν στις περίφημες σπηλιές των Ματάλων, διαμορφώνοντας μία ιδιότυπη διεθνή κοινότητα, τα μέλη της οποίας προκαλούσαν με τον χαλαρό και εναλλακτικό τρόπο ζωής τους. Ποιοι ήταν αυτοί οι νέοι; Τι τους έφερε στα Μάταλα; Ποια ήταν η σχέση τους με τους ντόπιους; Γίνονταν στ’ αλήθεια όργια; Απαντούν οι σχεδόν 70χρονοι σήμερα πρωταγωνιστές της ιστορίας: οι Γερμανοί Αρν και Έλμαρ, οι Αγγλίδες αδελφές Σέρλι και Παμ, ο Δημήτρης Πουλικάκος, η γιαγιά Αλεξάνδρα, η γιαγιά Κατερίνα και ο Γιώργης, φτωχός ψαράς και φίλος της Τζόνι Μίτσελ απ’ τα παλιά.
