About Mastichari

Mastichari's lagoon provides protected, flat water ideal for learners and those seeking mellow sessions. The long sandy beach offers straightforward entry and exit, while surrounding hills shelter the area from excessive chop. Located on Kos's northern shore, it attracts families and beginner-focused groups. Thermal winds build predictably during warmer months, making planning easier for instructors and visitors.
