Back in the Free Love days of the 60’s , hippies discovered superb Matala Beach in Crete and its inviting caves, which they eagerly commandeered for their communal lifestyle. At this time there was nothing there except a tiny fishing village, but over time its popularity grew to the point it began attracting famous musicians such as Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin and Joan Baez. By the way, Joni Mitchell actually wrote here the song “Carey” about Matala Beach. Eventually, the Matala Beach hippies became too much for the local church, however, which “evicted” the flower children in the late 70’s, sending them packing to other Crete hangout spots, like Preveli Beach and Vai Beach. Recently, however, the hippie spirit has been revived in this area, with a growing art community building on Matala Beach’s hippie past. Not to be forgotten in all the excitement over the beach, bay and caves, Matala village has plenty to recommend it in its own right. While many of the villages around Crete lack much in the way of colour, Matala is filled with murals, street art and colourful buildings. One of the most famous murals is right next to the beach stating : “Today is Life, Tomorrow Never Comes”. Legend has it this was painted to welcome George Harrison of the Beatles ...
