ABOUT
Welcome to the southernmost hostel in Europe!
Away from the busy, touristic north of the island, Matala Hostel was created by three brothers who wanted to share their love for the beautiful, hippie village of Matala with the world. The south coast of Crete where the hostel is located is known for its stunning beaches and rich history, and we provide the ideal base from which to discover the area.
Matala Hostel
Just a short walk from the famous beach
The hostel is only an 8-minute walk from the beautiful sandy beach of Matala and the famous caves which were once home to a hippie commune. Here, you will find everything you might need for a laid-back, care-free vacation: a fully equipped communal kitchen, indoor and outdoor common areas and lounges, a bar and a refreshing pool where travelers can relax after a day of exploring or beach bumming.
Located in an ideal position to visit the area’s natural beauty and historical attractions, Matala hostel is designed to promote sociability and facilitate meeting other travelers.
