Trip // Matala



























During my stay in Greece, I visited a small city called Matala, which has become one of my favorite places ever. In the 60's and 70's, Matala was populated by a community of hippies, who used to live in caves along the shore. Their influences are still very present today, like the beautiful ground paintings above 
which pop up everywhere. If you're lucky enough, you may still find a hippie hidden between the caves, playing catchy tunes on his guitar. Just a couple of weeks before our stay in  Matala, the city organized a reunion for all the hippies who used to live there. I'm so bummed to have missed it, it would have been so cool to be there! Walking around the small city centre, you can really feel the peace and quiet  and the laid back atmosphere hanging around. With also cosy little restaurants, offering you an amazing view, and the beautiful sea and beach, I would  recommend Matala to everyone!

P.S.: Picture overload comin' up!
P.P.S: Since Blogger isn't accepting my pictures from Photobucket for some  reason, you'll have to do with the crappy Blogger-quality pictures. Sorry for  that! I've been having so many problems with Blogger lately, I'm thinking to transfer to Wordpress. Which platform do you prefer?
