Matala – 105 hotels and places to stay

Hotel Sofia is in a quiet area of Matala, yet close to the center and its shops, bars and restaurants. It is just 164 feet away from the sandy beach and 20 minutes from the famous Red beach.

The kitchen was quite old-fashioned but sufficiently equipped—especially the fridge with the ice box. The main room was clean and sufficiently big, with a perfect bed. The bath was very small but clean. The highlight of our room (all guests have general access but don`t use it :-) was the big terrace, which was equipped with deck chairs and looked out to the beach. The car can be parked for free in the hotel's big parking area, approximately 100m away.

Located in Matala, a 19-minute walk from Matala beach, Melissa Hotel provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Melissa Hotel is a beautiful family run business. It is within walking distance of the beach but far enough away from the busyness to be peaceful. The service we received was excellent and we were made to feel right at home . Breakfast offered a variety of dishes, many of which had been made in house.

Located in Matala, a 9-minute walk from Matala beach, Paradise Matala Hotel has accommodations with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

Booked this property quite last minute and it was a great choice for a short stay. Always great to return to Matala and get the chance to spend a night there. The room was spacious and clean. We also had breakfast included which was great for the price. The main beach is a slow 10 minute walk away.

Located in Matala, a 7-minute walk from Matala beach, Tsaner Apartment and Rooms has accommodations with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking and a garden.

The appartment was a great combination of good value, proximity to the beach, onsite parking and a really friendly host. We were there with four adults and two small children for three days and it was great for a brief stay like ours. It was spotlessly clean and the double bed and bunk beds were very comfortable. There was always plenty of hot water too.

    Such a beautiful little seaside village that comes to life at night. Could have stayed longer and enjoyed the views, vibes and people. Also we found the pricing cheaper for food and drinks. I must stop

    The room was clean and relatively new looking.

    The room was clean and relatively new looking. There is no wifi or tv in room. They have wifi at the bar and should be able to get it to rooms with routers but have not bothered. The bed was a disaster, it was hardest bed I have ever tried to sleep on. My wife and I both hardly slept and had sore back in the morning. We have been travelling for over 5 weeks had no problem with any other beds.

    There is a great vibe at Matala that differs from the rest of Creta. The hippie feel is true. We caught live music the night we were there and it was the best moment. This along with the red beach - strongly recommend.

    Matala is a tourist hot spot.

    Matala is a tourist hot spot. So a lot of restaurants there, lot of tourist shops with souvenirs and a lot of people. The beach itself is not that big, but it was nice though. I mean it really depends on what you are looking for. I am more fond of less crowded and less touristy places, so perhaps next time I would look for something more matching my preferences. On the other hand there is nothing wrong about Matala at all. All the people there are very friendly. Really it depends on what you prefer...

    Matala is a quiet little town with not a lot of traffic, music or noise. You come here to relax. If you like naturist beaching this place is definitely for you (Red beach and Komos beach). Moreover, Matala can be a good base for visiting the area (you have to rent a car or a bike).

    Beautiful little hippie Place with lots of Restaurants, Bars and Cafés. The beach in matala, the red beach and the caves of matala are a must see. When you are in matala I would recommend the Restaurants Georges Yard, Plaka and Hakuna matata.

    Right in the heart of Matala, minutes walking distance to the beach, and close to a large paid parking space. The room was very clean and provided the basics required for a short beach stay.
