About this property
Castri House in Matala
Castri house is a unique, beautiful property ideal for couples and families up to 5 people. Castri is located on the beginning of the hiking trail that leads to the Red beach. It is on the highest level of Matala and has the most amazing, breath taking open view. It is ideal for people who love nature, sea, hiking and is not a typical home. You have to walk it's path to go there. It only takes 4 minutes to walk up from the main square, but the view is rewarding you in the most special way. There is no car access, or parking spot. It is a breath away from the beach, far enough from the bars, so that you can relax, but also 5 min away from them. You can enjoy your privacy, the environment and you are 20 minutes away from the magnificent Red beach. Castri House took its name from the specific area that it is located. Castri means castle. This house offers you many amenities and the posibility to have relaxed and memorable holidays in the highest spot of Matala.
