Pessimo
Facciata a 3 stelle ma alloggi da 1 stella. Muri, arredi, toilette versano in uno stato pietoso. L'accoglienza da parte della signora alla reception , fredda e scortese. Aria condizionata, piscinetta e wifi non dovrebbero essere i soli requisiti x assegnare le stelle. Da parte mia e di mio marito, e ' assolutamente una struttura da evitare.

Dear Barbara first of all i want to thank you becouse you have choose our Island for your holidays this summer. About your comments probably you have forgot to write that you have the choose to use 3 Holidays Packages in our Resort. 1) in a private Villa (ELEGANCE) 2) in a 3 star Hotel Room (STANDARD) 3) in a Pension Room (ECONOMY) you have choose the option No3 becouse as you say to us is 70% discount in the Price from the STANDARD PACKAGE. Of cource we have show you the Room and we have tell you that is the Lowest Quality , but you want this becouse is ECONOMY ...so now i dont understand why you write all this complains. Anyway we thank you again and i wish you the best for the rest of the summer. Regards from sunny Matala Kreta Houstoulakis Dimitris Hotel Owner

About the neighbourhood
On the sandy beach is written by a fisherman: 'Today is life, tomorrow never comes!' Matala was once the place of the flower-power and the hippy-scene. Yeah, those were the days! The Matala from now is a busy tourist place with a lot of hotels, apartments, rooms, taverns and shops. Before 1970, the time that the flower-children and the hippies overrunned this small village, Matala only existed of 10 houses, one tavern, a beautiful beach and of course the ancient cave houses of which Matala thanks her fame. The beach of this bay, in the form of a reaping-hook, is still the same. The cave houses, cut by the Cretan people from the early Stone Age, with their passages, stone beds and fireplaces, are now put under monumental care. They are really worth visiting. The beach of fine stones is very pleasant. Especially the early morning and the end of the afternoon can still bring back the memories of what has been. Nevertheless, Matala has something. A friendly atmosphere and beautiful surroundings will take care of some days of enjoyment, without having the feeling of being disturbed by mass tourism. Should you be in the neighborhood, do pay this village a visit and try to go back in time: put a flower behind your ear and wow, for some time you will feel like a hippy! HISTORY OF MATALA Matala was the ancient port of Phaistos and Gortys and a former fishing community which has developed into a modern holiday center. It is located 4 km south-west of the village of Pitsidia and 75 km from Iraklion. It is built on the coast line of the Messara bay inside a small and picturesque inlet. The turquoise blue sea, and the red disk of the sun which sets in the evening horizon create a hue of colors that evoke novel emotions. Matala was the port of Phaistos during the Minoan period, following the destruction of Kommos, and the port of Gortys during the Roman period when Gortys was proclaimed capital of Crete by the Romans. The Gortynians occupied Matala at 220 B.C. Ruins of the ancient city are still visible on the sea bed as the ancient city was sunk in the sea. The archaeological pick has unearthed some traces of the palaces built by the nobles from the ancient cities of Phaistos and Gortys. There is also a cave known as 'Brutospeliana' and legend has it that it was frequented by the Roman general Brutus. Owing to its exceptional natural beauty, Matala became the meeting place of the 'Flower Children' in 1968. Although their conference failed to realize, yet they were compensated by the incomparable beauty of the area, which so much contrasts with the concept of destruction and war.
