Mastihari Local News sheet

What's on!

All the news, all the year round about what is happening in the village - within the parameters set by the lack of reliable information and the waiting till the last minute for everything!!. Don't wait with bated breath for anything exciting though - very little happens.


 

Limnionas

A beautiful part of the island and it is not the first time I have put photos in from this small harbour. I took these photos in July and it was a beautiful day. There are 2 bays at Limnionas, one with the harbour for the fishing boats that still work from there, and the other side, which is rough and pebbly and very good for snorkelling.

It is worth finding if you have a car.

         

   

   

   

   

   

These rocks, on the edge of the pebbly bay, are beautifully coloured.

Bits and Pieces 2!

1st September, and after a very wobbly start and so much bad - and inaccurate - press, the season has not been as disappointing as many thought it would be, at least for Mastihari. Kos is one of the few places in Greece where the number of tourists is well up on last year. People aren't shopping very much as the economic crisis has hit everyone's pockets but the increase in numbers helps in other ways.

The weather is mellowing a little, the sea is warm and the mood is still as relaxed as always. I have had quite a few 1st time visitors who will surely be back again which is exactly what we want!

This month the village will be full of repeat visitors, many of those who come more than once a year and know that Mastihari is one of the best places to charge the batteries before winter.

The long range weather forecast is also predicting good weather for next month and accomodation is cheap so get looking for flights!


Unfortunately there are problems again with fires and we are on fire alert down here too due to the heat. Just a note for those of you coming here on holiday; please, please don't throw cigarette ends out of car windows and just be aware of the dangers of fire and the huge damage it causes.


There are events taking place all over the island at the moment as part of the cultural festivities, particularly in Kos town. Events are well attended and supported and indeed deserve to be as they are invariably of very high quality. I have listed what is going on in our area but the other 2 councils are also organising happenings so if you are in Kos it may be worth picking up a programme to see what is on elsewhere.


Agrellis Studios are now included in the accommodation that I work with. Lots of extras on offer from them, including airport transfers, so worth looking at if you are thinking of holidaying in the village.


Taxi prices from the airport would seem to be the same as least year in spite of the huge hike in petrol prices. 15 Euros will get you here.


The airport bus timetable is now in - click on the link on the bus timetable link on the left.


Stop press; We have a butchers shop in the village.. For those of you who really like cooking whilst on holiday it will be wonderful!! It will make local life easier that is for sure.

Where the Village Grill was has now opened as 'Mikes Gelato' which is particularly yummy locally made ice cream. Apparently the sanwiches are good too.

The Bar has now become the 'Old Blue Eyes Bar' and is being run by and features 'The Hat '.

Good luck to everyone in their new ventures.


     

9th September 26 degrees 

 

It is warm this morning but over cast at present. Just fluffy white clouds though which don't look as they will bring any rain. The wind has dropped for a change and it is looking to be a nice enough day.

The updated chart below shows the drop in temperature over the last few days.

Cardis needed at night.

 

How many people come without a cardi and then regret it???

 

 
     
Note - temperatures that are shown are between 08.00-09.00 in the morning and in the shade so you can safely assume that it gets quite a bit warmer as the day goes on.

Thank you to Bob Christy who has very kindly (and willingly!!) created these weather charts and then made it to fit here!!

They are the temperature charts from Kos airport which gives a reading every 30 minutes and the first one is for the whole of 2009 so you can see what to expect throughout the year. The temperatures in the village are 1-2 degrees higher.

The second chart is up until August 2010.
