Matala – A book by Manolis Daloukas

The book describes Alexia's escape from her home in Athens and the atmosphere that suffocates her. The sixteen-year-old girl goes to Matala (Crete) where she lives the love and the psychedelic dream in the caves.
The story revives the Flower Age and is based on real events.

At the end of the Spring of 1970, the junta regime closes the caves with a military-type operation, reminiscent of the movie “The Strawberry Statement”.

The book is flooded with the magical colors and the magical landscape of Crete, the island that the author considers his second home and the most beautiful part of the world.

Joni Mitchell, Carey, historical figures of the psychedelic era, star in a love story that will be unforgettable.
