Castus Beach Bar, Thymari

In mid July, last year, we took a family drive through the coastal road from Athens to Cape Sounion through the area playfully called the Athens Riviera. We found little traffic to speak of and, 40' or so later, we reached Anavyssos, on the 50th km of the Athens-Sounion road. We stopped at Castus Beach Bar. Nice beach, a well-designed beach bar, respectful of the surroundings, courteous people, good service, fair prices, nice music at the right volume!
