Matala Festival

Matala is a tiny town located on the south coast of the Greek island of Crete, famous for its hippie history – more precisely the caves where hippies used to live in the 60s and 70s – the story that intrigued international media so much that they made this tiny little town to become basically one of the most famous hippie retreats in Europe. Matala Beach Festival is undoubtedly one of the top hippie festivals in Europe and a pole of attraction for both local and foreign visitors. This festival is all about music, as many Greek and foreign artists perform for three days. During this feast the entrance to Matala Beach Festival is free!
