“ Matala hat noch den ursprünglichen Charakter von Kreta, obwohl der Tourismus seine Spuren hinterläßt. Die vielen kleinen Tavernen in denen man ohne Ausnahme sehr gut essen kann, die vielen kleinen Shops um den zentralen Marktplatz und die schöne Einkaufsmeile laden immer wieder zum verweilen ein. Mit einem preiswerten Mietwagen kann man auf vielen neu gemachten Straßen schöne kleine Dörfer, wie Pitsidia oder Siwas erreichen. Die Auswahl an Hotels und Pensionen ist vielfältig. Matala bietet eine gesunde Mischung aus Individualtourismus und Strandurlaub. Jederzeit eine Urlaubsreise wert. „Olav Borth
