Latest reviews on Potamia's beaches

Porto Vathy beach
10 Risalo

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!

Saliara beach
10 Natalie Marconi

To secure a spot on the beach with an umbrella and sunbeds, it's best to arrive at the crack of dawn or wait until the afternoon. For the upcoming year, the cost for a cozy spot on the sand with a complimentary coffee or beverage is set at 12.50 per individual.

Makriamos beach
10 Natalya Petrovich.

This beach is definitely one of the top picks on the island, boasting an incredible view and being well-maintained by the hotel.

Aliki beach
10 Liliana Petrova

In my opinion, this beach is absolutely stunning. It's perfect for taking a leisurely stroll or catching some rays. The water is crystal clear and although there are some small stones, it doesn't detract from the overall experience of the location. You can grab a bite to eat or a refreshing drink from any of the tavernas on the beach. However, it's important to note that there are no designated areas for free towel and umbrella use, only sunbeds which require a minimum order of €10 if you're not a guest of the tavernas. Luckily, there is free parking available on the street above the beach.

Golden Sand beach
10 Landon Shelton

Without a doubt, the most exceptional beach on Thassos can be found here. The sand is of the highest quality, resembling the shape of an hourglass, and the beach itself is spacious and free of stones. Additionally, there are numerous restaurants and taverns situated in the vicinity. During our vacation, we were fortunate enough to be accommodated in the area and spent the majority of our beach days here. In comparison to other beaches on Thassos, none can compare to the magnificence of this one. However, the only downside is that the sun sets behind the mountains earlier than in other areas of the island, reducing the amount of time one can spend on the beach by approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.

Thymonia beach
10 Alexandre Laurent.
