A SLEEPY KOAN VILLAGE BY THE SEA
If you’re looking for a slice of traditional Greek island life without the crowds, Mastichari has your name written all over it. This charming seaside village, with its stunning beaches and clear blue Aegean water, has an irresistibly laid-back vibe.
Start your day on Mastichari Beach, where the sand is soft, the sea is inviting, and the sun does not hold back. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not try snorkelling? The shallow waters near the beach are perfect for beginners, while the more experienced can venture further out to discover a vibrant marine life of colourful fish and beautiful rock formations.
Prefer something less active? Then stroll through the narrow streets of the village, where whitewashed houses, quaint shops, and traditional tavernas beckon you in for a glass of wine or a bite of fresh seafood. And speaking of tasty cuisine, Mastichari’s local delicacies are an absolute must. From grilled octopus to moussaka, it’s a foodie’s paradise.
Beyond the golden sands of Mastichari, there’s a world of adventure waiting. First up, why not hop on a ferry to the nearby island of Kalymnos with its hidden coves and underwater treasures? Also, just a 30-minute cab ride from Mastichari lies the Asklepion, also known as the birthplace of Hippocrates. For a truly panoramic experience, head up to Antimachia Castle, only a 20-minute drive away. This 14th-century fortress offers jaw-dropping views of Kos and the Aegean Sea.
And as the sun sets, Mastichari’s tavernas come to life with traditional music and dancing. Whether you’re chasing adventure or just looking to unwind with a drink in hand, Mastichari delivers.
