Thalatta

Late-September and booked through a booking platform en-route the night before. Took bus from the port and then down to Faros. Accommodation was easy to find - standing in the car-park look around you, look up and you'll see the yellow and blue sign. Walk up the steps past Betty's bakery and bang, you're there. A nice woman who lived in the next house welcomed us. We had 4 great nights on a ground floor studio with terrace. A compact, cosy studio with essential mosquito nets on the windows and a sensational view of the beach (see pics). It's down a flight of steps and a bit of a path to the water. It was great to go in for a swim about dusk when any fish started to get more active and there were fewer people about. I'm into lure fishing from the shore, so this accommodation is great as I don't drive. As well as Chrisopigi being close by and a generally good mark (if you get there early at sunrise before the flip-floppers decide it's swimming only), there's also great access to a mark off the rocks round past Fassoulou Beach and there are plenty of the proverbial lizard fish, as well as sea-bream off the shore at the broken bridge. Depending on the number of bait-fish around, the barries do get pretty close in after dusk despite the water depth. For the location, quality of traditional, rustic accommodation at a fair price and friendliness of the host, I'd definitely come back.
