Pension Romantika offers rooms with a furnished balcony and free Wi-Fi, 500 metres away from the sandy beach of Matala. Within 300 metres, you can reach the town’s centre, where you will find many bars and restaurants.

The hotel is very nice, located under a very characteristic mountain and has a large parking lot in front. It is 5 minutes walk from the sea, it is close to the center with supermarkets and taverns to eat nearby. The room is spotless, it looks new; the bed is very comfortable (we slept wonderfully), the bathroom is spacious and functional, there are even mosquito nets on the windows (which is not a given, unfortunately)! The host Maria is extremely kind and helpful: at 11 in the evening we had a problem with the fridge but she immediately intervened to solve it. If you want to go to Matala (and it's worth it!) this is the ideal place!

This air-conditioned guest house comes with a fully equipped kitchenette, a seating area, a dining area and a satellite flat-screen TV. A private entrance leads guests into the guest house, where they can enjoy some wine or champagne and fruits. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service.

Dedicated parking inside the property, the studio reflects the pictures and is very cosy. Water and fruit in the fridge are a definitive plus. Coffee and tea facilities. A small kitchen is available, but we didn't use is as we were surrounded by great restaurants only few steps away. Mike and Olimpia are perfect hosts, giving you tips on what to see on a printed sheet. Perfect German organization! :) The place is quite, surrounded by plants, flowers and orange trees. Waking up with the smell of Frangipani and Jasmine from the balcony is priceless!

Knossos Hotel is centrally located in the coastal village of Kalamaki. It features free Wi-Fi access throughout and rooms with air conditioning. The beach is 150 metres away.

All the rooms at Knossos Hotel are fitted with solid wood furnishings. Each opens out to balcony and includes a private bathroom.

Simplicity meets practicality. Small yet cosy rooms, recently refurbished, clean sheets, cold A/C and a more than decent continental breakfast. We were greeted with a contagious smile and that was more than enough to enjoy our time there!

    This is a beautiful apartment in a great location. Probably the most romantic flat above a kebab shop that you will ever find - with a wonderful balcony and terrace overlooking the sea. Angelika was a fantastic host, making us feel very welcome and incredibly generous too.

    A great location with a superb view over the gulf of Matala! Could be the best spot of the village, just a few steps from the beach.The studio was clean, spacious, beautifully decorated. Dimitris is a great host, helpful, friendly and willing to go the extra mile! He even offered us a really late check-out as we had an evening flight! I highly recommend this place!
