Overview


Mati is a popular tourist destination with several hotels,restaurants, taverns, cafés, bars, night clubs, open air cinemas, sandy beaches and yacht marinas. The harbour at the nearby town of Rafina serves as an access point to the Aegean Sea and it is frequently used by tourists to reach many of Greece's numerous islands. The Penteli mountains, which are covered with forests, lie to the west and northwest. Beaches cover the eastern part and restaurants, hotels, and taverns line the shore.


Mati was severely hit by a wildfire on the 23rd of July 2018, which left 100 people dead[1] and 164 injured. Thousands of vehicles and houses were destroyed, leaving Mati and nearby villages almost entirely burned.[2][3]
