Matala is a very nice place to visit. The bus trip was rather long from our hotel in Stalis (+/- 2 hours to get there). The archeological site of Gortys is very small. There is not much to see. But it's a nice stop in between.

Great tour operator, nice coach, picked us up with no issues, took us to a small archeological site as a stop off on the way, we travelled through amazing mountains and see some great sites, matala is a wonderful place beach so chilled and lovely seafood and some shopping and the caves which you do need good shoes on the climb. Beach is small stones and pebbles with a bit of sand… Great to trek to the south side of the island and explore a little. My son is 12 and my niece 23 we all enjoyed it

During our holiday in Crete, we had the opportunity to participate in several excursions with this Agency, such as Matala, the beaches of Elafonissi, Balos and Gramvusa, there were also others but the time spent on the island was not It was a lot, I would also add excellent organisation, highly trained guides, exceptional buses and minibuses with excellent drivers. I recommend it to you

Departure early in the morning by coach and crossing the island, with comments in the chosen language (French) which explain the particularities of the island, the habits and customs of the inhabitants, the history of the villages and archaeological sites through which we we passed. The guide was funny, the explanations always very interesting and very approachable. Visits to the Gortys and Matala site are done independently. Probably my best day of the stay! The break on Matala beach was an incredible moment of relaxation surrounded by majestic landscapes, enhanced by a swim in turquoise water!
