These rock formations also contain Roman burial sites. In Matala, visitors can enjoy a refreshing swim, savor a meal, or simply relax with a drink on the beach. This is the legendary spot where Zeus, disguised as a bull, came ashore with Europa on his back before taking her to Gortys. Both the Minoans and Romans utilized this area as a harbor. However, for many, Matala is synonymous with one thing: hippies. In the late 1960s to 1970s, this quaint town was a haven for the “flower children,” who lived in caves that were once Roman tombs.
