I first visited Mastihari over twenty nine years ago to ‘house sit’ for a friend who was away in the U.S.A.. I instantly fell in love with the village and its attendant qualities which epitomise the Greek way of life.

Sadly, these very qualities which first attracted me to the Island are now vanishing under the onslaught of mass tourism.

To preserve the delights of Mastihari, a radical approach was required, hence the concept of our service was born. This is a genuine partnership with the local community, we take great pride in ensuring the money you spend with us, goes into the local economy for the benefit of the whole community.

By playing our part in the social and economic fabric of the village, Mastihari will remain unspoilt. For your part, you will experience the open arms and hearts of the villagers who are delighted that you will embrace and respect their customs, traditions and way of life.

In return, they offer you the chance to share for the time you are with them, the ‘magic’ which is Mastihari.
