Yes, I know it's August and Greece is usually hot at this time.....however, it's still toooo hot, as I find myself sweltering in the kitchen (no air-conditioning in here), I must be mad!
This week has seen us on the road (all the family) to Mastihari, (it was a National Holiday, to celebrate the Virgin Mary). So off we went (15-20 mins in the car from Kos Town) to the beautiful fishing port in the centre of the island. A long sandy beach, and plenty of snack bars and restaurants to choose from. Many specialising in Fresh Fish. The perfect resort for those of you wishing to experience the wonders of Greece. Ideal if you also planning on island hopping too.
The beach in Mastihari, is long and sandy.....perfect for long walks, and there is a Water sports centre further along, for those wishing to windsurf, and a path which is lit at night for those that would like to enjoy a moonlit stroll! I walked along it in temperatures of 40 degrees, didn't get very far, spent the rest of the time in the sea, trying to cool off!
Lunch at El Greco, (restaurant/taverna on the beach) a huge menu, catering for every ones tastes. Wonderful Greek plates both small and large, if you would like to try a little of everything. Specials of the day, delicious desserts, and ice cream galore. You can't miss it with the colourful, artistic boards!
There are some larger hotels close by (some new ones being developed), but if you are looking for traditional accommodation, there are plenty of rooms to let by the day/night. Again if you are looking to stay in Mastihari, I can contact of few friends in the area who will be able to recommend apartments for your stay.
Moving on, Tam Tam can be found (the turning), directly opposite the Water park, a little country road will lead you right to it.
A perfect stopping place for a light snack, evening meal, drink......there is even a small shop selling all kinds of unusual jewellery, and interesting pieces, even clothes.
Open also through the evening, great music and atmosphere, overlooking the sea.
or relax in the deck chairs, there is a children's play area too.....
and there are sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach, for you to soak up the sun. Everything you need for a perfect day out!
