Crete Island, Greece | Matala - one of the few HIPPIE places in the world

Matala in Crete Island (Greece) is one of the few hippie holiday destinations left in the world. Each year, in June, you can have a taste of what the hippie culture used to be in the 60-70’s at Matala Beach Festival. A beautiful Street Painting Competition is organized one week before the festival, adding to Matala’s unique style. The streets of Matala become an art canvas, filled with unique artistic street paintings. Matala is famous for its caves in the mountain next to the sea, where hippies used to live at the end of the 60’s, beginning of 70s. So if you’re planning a vacation in Crete, don’t miss a trip to Matala, even if it’s just for a few hours. It’s a refreshing change among so many lookalike touristic areas. And by the way... Crete is a wonderful choice with so many beautiful places to visit and so much tasty food to try ;) #matala #hippie #creteisland ____________________________________________ 👍 If you enjoyed this video, i
