The road leading to this beach isn't great, but it's passable. The beach itself is nice, although it's a bit on the smaller side. Nonetheless, you can still have a pleasant day here.

It's a fantastic beach, much like the majority of beaches in Thassos. However, we visited it after Paradise beach, and naturally, Paradise beach takes the cake when compared. Getting there can be a bit challenging for regular cars, but not impossible. It's better to drive a Jeep, Nissan X-trail, or something similar. The gulf of the Marble beach appears to be deeper. There are large stones on the sides, and some of them can be quite slippery. They have music playing, sunbeds, and umbrellas, but I'm not sure about the prices since we arrived on a Jeep beach safari. We even had small shrimps giving us a foot peeling experience :))

4 Frustrating

The road leading to the beach is in a terrible condition, covered in dust. Additionally, the entrance fee for this beach is quite steep at 30 euros per umbrella, and on top of that, you are required to pay for the use of the shower facilities. Unfortunately, the beach tends to get very crowded, and the quality of service offered is quite poor. While there is a restroom available, it is located quite far from the sea, requiring a walk along the dusty road. Moreover, the cleanliness of the beach is lacking, and the facilities provided are not adequate.

There is a beach bar located in the middle of the beach, offering umbrellas and sunbeds. Additionally, there are open areas where you can set up your own chair and umbrella. Fortunately, we managed to find a spot at the far end of the beach, although it was quite small and could only accommodate a limited number of people. The road leading to the beach is quite challenging, with steep inclines and declines, and it does not run in a straight line. However, the effort to reach the beach is definitely worthwhile and worth seeing!
