Matala Hostel

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 laid-back, hippie village of Matala.
The south coast of Crete where the hostel is located, is known for its hippie past, its beautiful beaches and its rich history, and we provide the ideal base from which to discover the area.
The Matala Hostel team knows everything about the area, and we will provide you with any information you might need about hikes, activities and beaches in the area (and there are many!)

Our hostel is only an 8-minute walk from the beautiful sandy beach of Matala and the famous caves which once housed flower children, with many well known artists such as Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Janis Joplin and others among them. Here, you will find everything you might need for a laid-back, care-free vacation: a bar and a refreshing pool where you can relax after a day of exploring, a fully equipped communal kitchen, indoor and outdoor common areas and lounges, hot showers and Wi-Fi connection throughout the property.

All rooms are spacious and bright, and have en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning. Bunk beds are equipped with linens, towels, privacy curtains and individual lockers.
