Hiking

The ascent or descent connects Matala to the cliff. When building villas, the lower entrance to the road was dredged away. You have to climb and look for something here.

Hiking

This is actually the only place where you have to be careful. So don't wear sandals or slippers there. Also be careful not to dislodge any stones.
