Tomb caves west side of Matala beach, Crete. 2010.
Probably, originally, Minoan caves which later became tombs for the Romans. Matala was the port of Phaistos during the Minoan period and of Gortys during the Roman occupation.
A few beatniks lived in the caves during the early to mid sixties and then later the hippies came. By 1970 it was a shifting hippie commune and immortalised by Joni Mitchell in her song Carrie, about her relationship with the red haired devil who carried a cane and frequented the Mermaid cafe on the beach below the caves. The hippies came and went and came back again several times, but now the caves have been designated an archeological site, and are usually uninhabited except by the spirits of the past and the bones of old Roman soldiers which are uncovered when the cliff face erodes.
