Suite Mary Matala, hotel in Matala

Set in Matala, 200 metres from Matala beach and less than 1 km from Red Sand Beach, Suite Mary Matala offers air-conditioned accommodation with a patio and free WiFi.

We loved everything about this little gem. It’s tucked away but at the same time in the middle of the town. The beds were extremely comfortable, the terrace gorgeous, the kitchen perfect, there’s nothing more I can really say. Just perfect. Our hosts were also extremely friendly and couldn’t do more for us. Thank you for a wonderful stay & we can’t wait to come back and see you again!

Orelia Cretan Deluxe Apartments, hotel in Matala

Located in Kamilari and only 2.8 km from Kalamaki Beach, Orelia Cretan Deluxe Apartments provides accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The property is situated on a hill with a stunning view of the sea and the mountains, conceived as a small village with several houses made of stone and a central courtyard with a swimming pool. The apartment we occupied was nice and clean with all the needed utensils to cook. The host was very nice in guiding us to the next village to buy groceries, and in indicating a very good fish restaurant on the beach (Taverna Aristodimos). Festos palace is 15 minutes away (11 Km) and that was the principal reason we made the trip (it is better to go in the afternoon, but not to late, in lack of visitors they close earlier). A few kilometers away is the Kalamaki beach, by strong winds impossible to swim because there are some stones and you can get hurt.

    Beautiful, big and clean room with a nice view, balcony and kitchen corner. Very good quality for money. Free parking in front and walking distance to restaurants and beach. Matala is a must see place. Small and beutiful with nice restaurants facing the see. I did not like the beach though, it was very crowded and the water has big stones and waves. We arrived after 13:00 and there was no sunbed available.
