Mastichari
Μαστιχάρι
A fishing village and beach on the north coast. The harbour runs boats to Kalymnos and Pserimos, and the seaside tavernas have a relaxed atmosphere.
Mastichari retains the character of a fishing village. Near the harbour is a row of seafood tavernas, and to the west is a long beach with shallow water suitable for swimming. It is the closest port to Kalymnos, with ferries taking about 30–40 minutes, and there are also day boats to Pserimos and to beaches on small islands. Near the village are the remains of a 5th-century Church of St John. It is about 30 km from Kos Town and served by buses.
