the caves of Matala were (probably) first carved out during the Neolithic
 |
| in the Roman period, 1st&2nd centuries, they became rock cut tombs |
 |
| but Matala is probably best known for being a huge hippie squat during the 60s (later expelled by the junta and church) |
 |
| signs of fire |
 |
| but it was also a port during the Roman period and supposedly where Zeus seduced Europa |
 |
| but most know it for the hippies (Joni Mitchell's Carey talks about it) |
 |
| though some of the Roman tombs are very complex |
