Bob Dylan and Joan Baez and Cat Stephens and Janis Joplin never went to Matala...

[edit]

Is it safe to assume that Bob Dylan and Joan Baez and Cat Stephens and Janis Joplin never went to Matala? Joni Mitchell did, but that was it.

Tourist brochures and the like push it hard that they all did, but no real anecdotes, no photographs, no dates...

Anyone have anything to suggest the tourist hype has merit?

   The night is a starry dome
   and they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll
   beneath the Matala Moon

This is how the Matala sky is described in Joni Mitchell’s song "Carey". That was the time when a large group of artists, including Janice Joplin, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, spent their days and nights under the Cretan sky, in the pretty fishing village of Matala.
