From above, Mastichari shows exactly why we love the quieter side of Kos: a small harbour, whitewashed houses, fishing boats and the endless blue of the Aegean. 💙

⚓ Located on the north-west coast of Kos, Mastichari has kept much of its traditional seaside-village atmosphere. Wander along the waterfront, stop for fresh fish or a Greek coffee, and stay for one of those sunsets that make you forget about the time. 🌅

The port is also the departure point for ferries to nearby Kalymnos – perfect if you want to add a little island hopping to your Kos adventure. ⛴️

🏖️ CarpeDiem tip: Don’t just pass through Mastichari on your way to the ferry. Take some time to explore the village and enjoy its long sandy beach and relaxed waterfront.

Hi, I`m Laila, your local guide on Kos, and today I`m taking you to one of the island`s most fascinating hidden gems.

Nestled in the hills between the Asclepieion and Zia lies Haihoutes, a village that was slowly abandoned during the 1960s. Its stone houses now stand silently among olive trees, telling stories of a bygone era. In recent years, the heart of the village has come alive again thanks to a traditional Greek café and taverna, where you can enjoy homemade local dishes surrounded by history.

🎶 On many evenings, live Greek music fills the air, creating a magical atmosphere unlike anywhere else on Kos. Wander through the ruins, visit the small museum, and experience authentic island hospitality in a place where history and tradition meet.

If you`re looking for an experience beyond the beaches, Haihoutes is a place you`ll never forget.

📍 Save this spot for your next trip to Kos, and follow CarpeDiem.lu for more hidden treasures across the island!

Wander through sunlit terraces where Hippocrates once walked, where science met spirituality, and where the first whispers of the Hippocratic Oath took form.

It’s not just a ruin—it’s a reminder of how deeply healing is connected to nature, wisdom, and balance.

My tip? Go early in the morning to catch the golden light and feel the calm before the day begins.

Tucked away in the hills of Kos lies Haihoutes (Agios Dimitros), an abandoned village where nature and history quietly embrace. Cracked doorways, fig trees growing through roofs, faded icons in empty corners… it’s like time paused and left the soul behind.

But look closer: a restored kafeneio, the scent of mountain herbs, a smile from someone keeping the memory alive.

Laila’s Tip: Go just before sunset. The stones glow golden, and the whole village hums like a soft old song.
