Mastichari

• ( 0 Reviews ) 22km from Kos Town

Mastichari, a serene fishing village on the north coast of Kos about 22km from town and only 3km from Antimachia, where the island’s airport is located, is known for its traditional charm and beautiful sandy beaches, lapped by the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea. This quaint village offers a peaceful escape from the busier tourist spots on the island, featuring traditional taverns where visitors can enjoy fresh seafood and renowned Greek dishes, sea view café bars, and a few souvenir shops. Just outside the village, guests can visit the island’s single but impressive waterpark. Nearby, travellers can admire the ruins of an Old Christian Basilica with a spectacularly unique mosaic floor.

The village has a small harbour where fishing boats bob in the water, adding to its picturesque ambiance. Mastichari port is also the departure point for ferries to the nearby island of Kalymnos, known for its sponge diving and rock climbing, as well as the neighbouring Pserimos, offering opportunities for unforgettable day trips. The laid-back atmosphere, combined with the village’s natural beauty and culinary offerings, makes Mastichari a delightful spot for a relaxing holiday.
