An attempt to “reconnect” everywhere the former hippies who spent some time in Matala, scheduled for next June, at the initiative of two Germans!
According to the newspaper “Southern View” initiators of this idea are the author Arn Strohmeyer and publisher Thomas Balistier, who have great love for the island and have a dedicated series of books on the island. Indeed, the latest version titled “The Myth of Matala” is precisely that area was mainly in the 70s and the ideal of “freedom” for people, especially young people-from all over the world.
The two Germans expressed the hope that it will respond by many “veterans” hippies who will respond to the invitation and will travel for a weekend in June in southern Crete.
Those interested to participate in this “reunion” should communicate through the website http://www.arnstrohmeyer.de
