Best Beaches
From long stretches of golden sand to white marble coves, Thassos offers a different shade of blue around every corner.
Golden Beach
A magnificent stretch of fine golden sand framed by the green slopes of Mount Ipsarion. Its shallow, clear waters make it ideal for relaxed swimming, while the long coastline offers both lively beach spots and peaceful corners.
An excellent choice for an easy full day by the sea.
Paradise Beach
Soft sand, turquoise water and lush hills create one of the island’s most exotic landscapes. The open bay is especially beautiful on calm days, when the colours resemble a small Mediterranean paradise.
Visit earlier in the morning for a quieter experience.
Marble Beach
Also known as Saliara, this striking cove is covered with tiny pieces of brilliant white marble. Their reflection gives the sea an intense blue colour and creates one of the most recognisable scenes in Thassos.
The access road is unpaved, so allow extra travel time.
Alyki
A picturesque bay where crystal-clear water meets ancient history. Swim beside a pine-covered peninsula, enjoy lunch by the shore and follow the coastal path through the remains of ancient marble quarries.
Combine your swim with a walk around the archaeological site.
Giola
Carved naturally into the rocks, Giola is a spectacular seawater lagoon overlooking the open Aegean. Its rugged setting and dramatic coastline make it one of the island’s most memorable natural sights.
Wear comfortable shoes, as reaching the lagoon requires walking.
Psili Ammos
Famous for its exceptionally soft sand and clear, shallow waters, Psili Ammos is one of the island’s most popular summer beaches. Its lively atmosphere is ideal for visitors who enjoy music, beach service and long afternoons by the sea.
A lively choice for guests looking for a vibrant beach atmosphere.
