You have been told by friends about the good food: tzatziki, gyros, vine leaves, moussaka, salads, fresh fish, locally produced honey and yoghourt.

Kos is often mentioned as a useful base for the independent traveler since so many other islands are easily accessible from here: Rhodes, Kalymnos, Nissyros, Patmos, Leros, Simi, Pserimos, Astypalea to name a few.

You are probably aware of Kos as being a fairly cosmopolitan island which offers something for everyone - and you would be right!

Kos town, Tingaki, Marmari, Kardamena and Kefalos will be the places which are most familiar to you.

However, there is something that you might not have heard about and that is why I have called this site Mastihari Uncovered!!

Mastichari is a small village on the North side of the island.

I am completely biased because I have lived here for years but it is time that a few more people are let in the the secret of what a great place it is to spend a holiday.

Before I go any further just a note for those of you who are regular visitors to my site ( and there are a few out there!) and are getting bored with the same old home page then click here to see the new Mastihari Newssheet. Bits and pieces of news about what's happening in the village so you don't have to trawl the whole site for the new bits!

WHAT THIS SITE OFFERS YOU

The following pages show you not only what you can book through me, but also, give you an idea of what Mastihari offers for your holiday. Your time is too precious to waste so I am giving you as much accurate information as I possibly can to avoid the possibility of disappointment and dissatisfaction.

The accommodation I am offering you is exactly that which is shown in the photographs. Nothing more. Nothing less.

If I say that a room has a sea view, it has a sea view which doesn't necessitate leaning over the balcony to get a glimpse of a blue line 2 miles away.

If the accommodation is near a road which may cause a small amount of disturbance, then you can be sure that it will not be on the M25. If I write that the beach is a 5 minute walk away then it is exactly that.

Car hire is arranged through local offices, all of which are reputable and offer fully-serviced and well maintained vehicles with, of course, full insurance.

I have included a brief description of the most popular excursions available for Mastihari, including some ideas for a 'Walk in the Past' which gets into the real Greece.

Fancy having a go at windsurfing or sailing? Special beginners courses are available as well as fun and enjoyment for those of you with more experience who can already stand up on a windsurf board!!

Quite simply, I would like to provide a service for independent-minded travelers, whilst taking away some of the risk and searching which can be involved.

I hope, whether you book anything with me or not, that you will enjoy reading the following pages and it may at least help to give you some idea as to what we have to offer in the village which I now call home, and perhaps attract you to visit Greece at some time.

I am updating this site constantly so pop in from time to time to see what is new.

Thanks for visiting Mastihari Uncovered and hopefully we will meet at some time in the future.
