“ Hallo liebe Matala Freunde,
sind gerade von Matala zurückgekehrt, hatten 12 schöne Tage auf Kreta. Waren zum 6.Mal in Matala, und hatten wie immer wunderschöne Tage hier. Unser besonderer Dank gilt Maria vom Hotel Coral und Anna und ihrer Familie von der Taverne "Sun Set" die wie immer uns jeden Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen Haben.
Traurig war allerdings als wir bei unserer Ankunft erfahren haben das unser Kumpel, der Fischer George, eine Ikone aus Matala im Februar verstorben ist.
Wir freuen uns auf die Rückkehr nach Matala
Grüße
Aloisia & Frank „Frank Deppe

Matala Beach Festival Were you one of the hippies who used to live in the caves and on the sands at Matala in the 60s and 70s? Or are you simply a music fan wanting to celebrate peace and love with us through music and art. Whoever you are, Matala welcomes you. In the 60s & 70s the international media became intrigued about the hippie travellers making their homes in the caves at Matala beach. That intrigue continues ...
today with people of all ages visiting the village to relive the memory of the hippie era.
The story since 2011
In June 2011 the Mayor of the region threw a festival on the beach to celebrate the launch of the ‘Myth of Matala’ book featuring photos of the hippie cave residents during the 60s & 70s. It was a hippie reunion. 35,000 people heard about it and flocked to Matala beach.
In June 2012 over 58,000 people visited the festival weekend and the word is quickly spreading.
It was a huge success as free events which brought together music and arts fans from all generations together on the beach beneath the caves to celebrate peace, love and happiness.
2013
Matala Beach Festival 2013 will be held from 21st to 24th of June 2013.
