Offering free parking, the Fantastic Matala 1 is located less than a 5-minute walk from shops and restaurants, and the bus stop. Heraklion's city centre is 70 km away. There is free parking on site.

The location is perfect to explore Matala and the Red beach on the other side. The garden of the house is very cute, we had a spacious terrace, too, and the bed was very confortable. On top of everything, and the most important, Doria is an absolute gem - we stayed for one night and she welcomed us like we were going to stay for a month. Thanks a million Doria for your kindness, all the best for you and for your sweet family, too. Camille and Maël

    Great location - very close to the sea, to all restaurants and shops. Greatest host!! - very helpful - you get everything you might need. There is always an access to drinking water, and a nice breakfast included. They also provide beach towels, umbrellas etc. They organized a taxi transfer way cheaper than you can get at the airport. One day there was a party at nearby café, but the music stopped at midnight, and other than that it was surprisingly quiet.
