Matala is a wonderful small resort by the sea at the south coast of Crete. There is a really big cliff with lots of caves, dugged out by humans during the Stone age. During the 60-s and 70-s hippies from all over the world were living in these caves, but they were eventually driven away by the church and the military junta.
Now all hippies are welcome back! - At least for the festival!
The Canadian songwriter and singer Joni Mitchell wrote a song while staying in the hippie caves of Matala 1970 - "Carey":
