Frequently asked questions
What are the Matala caves?
Ancient rock-cut tombs used as homes by hippies in the 1960s and 70s — now a protected site and major attraction.
Is Matala beach good for swimming?
Excellent — clear water, well-organised beach with sunbeds and snack bars.
Can I visit Red Beach from Matala?
Yes — a 20-min walk over the headland. Worth it for a more secluded cove.
Can you arrange a return pickup?
Yes — just tell us your return time and we'll be there.
How does the price compare to hiring a car?
A rental with insurance for a day is often €40–50 plus fuel. Our transfer is hassle-free at a similar price.
