Matala was the very first place I stayed in 30 yrs ago !! and it was just 1 taverna, a few houses and the beach and caves - it was NO TOURIST, very of the beaten track and fantastic. Carried on holidaying there for 10 yrs -2 or 3 times a year, all over the Island - its the best of all the Greek Islands . Try Rhythemenon and Spili beautiful and a ride up through the mountains is awesom - shame about your drone :( - just loving your posts, takes me back....
