The ancient artificial caves in the cliff of the Matala bay, just above the famous sandy beach and the village is an archaeological site, created in the Neolithic Age for living while, carved in the sandstone, other caves were once used as tombs during the Roman period.

Nowadays Matala is a vibrant tourist destination with cafes, taverns, bars, beachbars, hotels, rooms to let, shops, accomodation facilities etc around the beach with the crystal clear water.
