After a very enjoyable two-week stay at Dimitris Villa in August 2005, we just want to say a few words of our impressions. Since 1994 we visited Matala (Dimitris Villa) already eight times. After several car trips all over Crete we are quite sure that there is no other region on the island which can really compete with Matala! Nowhere else you can find such a fascinating scenery like that of Zeus and Red Beach with their marvellous yellow-white limestone rocks - and nowhere else are out of the way creeks at the sea with such "comfortable" smooth yellow-white rocks (some of them are even shady if you are looking for). The absolute highlight this year, however, was the sight of three huge vultures in a distance of less than 50 meters over the lonely hills of the southern part of Matala. And last not least, there is no breakfast place in Matala with nicer surroundings than that of Dimitris Villa.
