How to get in Matala
It is very easy to come to Crete and explore it. Crete offers excellent air connections with the rest of the world and it is also possible to reach Crete by ship. Travelling within Crete is also easy.
There are bus routes that cover the whole island and Matala of course, while the car is even more convenient, thanks to the existing road network, which allows the visitor to reach every place easily and fast. Matala is 63 km south of Heraklion, located in a very pretty and picturesque spot in the Bay of Messara. The road to Matala is extremely good, with a tarmac surface and decent signposting. You are, after all, heading to one of the major tourist resorts of Crete.
