GREECE-CULTURE-FESTIVAL

Participants of the Matala Beach Festival enjoy the seaside in the village of Matala, some 70 km south of Heraklion on the Greek southern island of Crete, on June 22, 2013. Almost 100,000 fans of music and art enjoyed the festival on the sand beneath the caves made famous during the hippie era of the 1960s and 70s. Matala attracted international attention in the early 70s when Joni Mitchell released her critically acclaimed album Blue, which detailed her experiences whilst living in the caves with young hippie travellers enjoying the tranquility of Matala Beach.
