About this spot
Unplug documents Matala as "a Flat and Chop spot" and "a kitesurfing spot for Intermediate riders". Kiteforum's entry describes a 250 m wide U-shaped bay with not much space, especially when tourists are around, beach rocks and June–August beach users, and estimates summer water around 24 °C. Kiteforum gives no wind direction for the spot ('No info yet'), and no direction claim is made here.
No on-site kite school was verified, and the intermediate/expert classification is guide-based, not a beginner rating. No verified ban, swimming-zone boundary or current permission was retrieved; the bay's limited space and current access need local confirmation.
