Pitsidia rocks
Tavernas and beaches, accommodations and destinations, car rental and recommendations
“The Greeks have dreamed the dream of life most beautifully,”
once said Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
We wholeheartedly agree and aim to showcase the beauty and numerous offerings of Pitsidia, Matala, and its surroundings on these pages – while also fostering better connections between tourists and locals. Hence, you’ll find sections here like “Taverns,” “Accommodations,” or “Cars,” but also reports on the incredible beaches, exciting markets, or the solitude of the mountains.
Above all, we prioritize personal contact between visitors and the residents of this beautiful island – without the big booking platforms and globally operating car rental companies that not only drive prices down but also hinder communication.
pitsidia.rocks is just getting started – and relies on your support. Send us your opinions and wishes, but also contacts to “your” local favorite accommodations, taverns, and beaches.

Comos Cafe Taverna
The most beautiful and peaceful place to watch sundown.
Matala Hostel
The start of everything.
Matala Beach Festival 2024
I actually wanted to complain about the Matala Beach Festival 2024, but…
Parasols at Komos Beach
For a quite a while, it looked as if Komos Beach would be placed under some kind of nature reserve. Now something quite surprising has happened in the last few days.
Manolis Taverna
Traditional Cretan cuisine in the third generation. Underrated, as the young people say.
AC⚡DC Tribute Gang
6. Juli, 19.30: Goin’ down, party time, my friends are gonna be there, too.
Service
“How many things are there of which I do not need,”
as quoted by Socrates – but even he needed a few things, such as a bed, food and drink, goals, and the means to achieve them.
You’ll find all that here at pitsidia.rocks.
It’s important to us to connect tourists with locals and not Booking.com with Sixt. Here, people should communicate with people. It’s fun, provides personal information, and may even save money.
ACCOMMODATIONS
A room with breakfast, an apartment with a kitchen, a whole house, or a bed with a pool and breakfast? Here, you’ll find everything – except mass tourism.
TAVERNS
We all know where to find the best Pita in the world, but there are, of course, other offerings too. From grilled plates to vegan options.
BEACHES
The beaches and attractions around Pitsidia are world-famous – and rightly so. With showers, mountains, Mythos, and if needed, sun loungers.
CARS
Sometimes, a car is nice. Or a scooter. No global players, only local providers.

Even our accounts on Instagram and Facebook are still under construction – but soon, you’ll find regular updates from and around Pitsidia and its surroundings here.
