The most bohemian and backpacker-friendly place to stay on Kontogialos (Pelekas) Beach has two fresh, simple family apartments with bathrooms and kitchenettes, plus two ample-sized and spotless rooms. People gather to chat on the large, shaded terrace out the front, which has a small bar and a communal semioutdoor kitchen. It's a steep two-minute walk to the beach.
