All Inclusive Mastichari Holidays – Laid-Back Beach Days on Kos – Discovering Mastichari

Mastichari is a sleepy fishing village on Kos’s north coast with a wide, sandy shoreline, a tiny harbour and sunsets that stop you in your tracks. You will find several all inclusive resorts in and around Mastichari; Handy if you like everything wrapped up. And if you would rather stay in a smaller hotel or villa, follow the tips from Cheap All Inclusive Holidays and it is still easy to build an inclusive style holiday package with flights, transfers, meals and simple add-ons included.

Mastichari is only a 5 mile transfer from Kos International Airport (KGS), transfers typically take about 10-15 minutes, so you are on the beach almost as soon as you land.

Village Feel & Coastline

Life centres around the promenade; fishing boats bob in the harbour, beach bars serve ice-cold frappe and tavernas grill the catch of the day. Families love the shallow water and easygoing feel. While walkers and cyclists head for the breezy coastal paths. The excellent Lido Water Park, just inland (about 3 km from the port) for a day of slides and wave pools.

Grab an Easy Day Out

Take the ferry from Mastichari to Kalymnos for sponge-diving , wild coves and a proper island-hopping memory-crossings run several times daily in summer and take around 30-50 minutes depending on the boat.

Local Flavours

This is classic Greek island eating; tomato-rich moussaka, slow-cooked kleftiko, grilled octopus, village salads drenched in local olive oil and plates of meze that encourage long, lazy lunches. Prices in the village stay fair, portions are generous and you will often be sent off with a complimentary dessert or fruit.

Evenings, Nice and Easy

Mastichari does mellow best-sunset on the sand, dinner by the harbour, maybe live bouzouki in a taverna. If you fancy a livelier evening, Kos Town is about 22 km away for beach bars and a late stroll around the castle.
