Matala, a small bay in Crete with an ancient roman cemetary inside artificial caves in a big rock over the beach, was a place where a lot of hippies from all over the world gathered in the late 60's - early 70's. The place after an article of Life magazine attracted more people to visit it and Matala became a worldwide hippies' destination. Some famous musicians like Joni Mitchell and Cat Stevens stayed there for a few months. Joni Mitchell wrote the song 'Carey' about Matala.
Last year a music festival started there based on the idea of a veteran hippie reunion by Arn Strohmeyer, author of the book 'The Myth of Matala'. I visited the festival in 2011 and 2012. The peaceful beach of the sixties has nothing to do with its contemporary look, as after the hippie period, the place became famous and it was built and developped touristically in a rapid way. The authorities adapted the idea of organizing the festival every year in order to help the local economy. Of course organizing cultural events and strengthening through them the local economy or the reunion of old mates are good things. I just don't know how much a party with luna parks established for these days, touristic products, tons of Coca Cola etc sold in supermarkets is related to the hippie culture...
Anyway , a music festival is a reason to go listen some music and shoot photos
