Thassos has more then 60 beautiful beaches. Here are only few of them just to show you their beauty.
1. Alyki beach itself is quite picturesque-the beach is very popular and therefore does get pretty busy. Two small white-sand beaches, calm seas with soft sand in and out of the water, a tradition village, the ancient marble quarries, pine trees, fishing. Here we have a beautiful little beach of which I thought it was only possible to be seen on paintings. Alyki is the site of a great archaeological interest, with many ancient and medieval monuments. Right behind the shacks that stand of the beach today there was once a significant ancient settlement. In its heyday, the settlements was very prosperous, evidence of which can be seen in the surviving monuments.
The most important of these are the sanctuary, the cult caves and the marble quarries. The settlements of Alyki seems to have had its most prosperous period during the Middle Ages judges from what remains of two basilicas churches from the Byzantine era built on a rise a short distance from the quarries.
The beach of Alyki is a favourite among tourists and locals alike as it combines sand, pebbles and rocks while the see is so clear that one loses all sense of depth.
2. Psili Ammos is a tourist resort about 5 minutes south-east from Potos. The beach is about 250m long. It is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. It is the ideal place for water sports.
3. Pachis is beautiful beach just north of Skala Rachoni. There is a long stretch of golden sand backed by tamarack trees with plenty of parking beneath the trees. There are a couple of large tavernas set back from the beach and some smaller ones on the beach itself.
4.Trypity lies to the west of Limenaria, abut 5 minutes put of town and is well marked from the main road. A long dirt track runs behind the beach for much of its length and there are beach bars at either and serving basic snacks and drinks. Cars can be parked under the trees at either end of the long track near to the beach bars.
5.Metalia, beautiful beach in Limenaria.
6. Pefkari, Paddle boats, surfboards and jet skies prominently parked on the manicured white sand-clues, if you needed them, to the popularity of the fine beach. Gently shelving sand and shallow water make this an ideal spot for children and the nearby headland offers plenty of splendid cliff side walks.
7. Marble beach is one beautiful small beach with white send and blue water. This is fantastic and quite place with very clean water.
8. Makryammos is a very pretty beach with clear waters in a picturesque bay bordered by pine trees to the east of the town of Limenas. The beach is sandy, with organised facilities ideal for endless hours of sunbathing. To the right of the beach is wharf , a shelter for small boats and pleasure craft. Right opposite, on the other side of the bay, is small, pine-clad rock adding to the beauty of surroundings.
There are tourist lodgings near the beach for visitors who wish to stay the night.
9. few kilometres down from Panagia is one of the island's the best known beaches. Golden beach appears to be truly endless golden beach with sand which leaves the first-time visitor the speechless. There are pine trees along the 3,5km bay and lodgings for tourists.
Golden beach organised facilities for those who enjoy water sports and long hours of sunbathing. On of the most beautiful spots on this beach from which you can admire its entire expanse, is Vigli, a densely forested place above the beach where a picturesque taverna is situated, surrounded by cool greenery.
10. Paradise beach is one of the favorite tourist spots, is by by road that winds its way through a wooded area. The beach is not particularly long, but the forest around it and the fact that the sea is almost always pounding in with big breakers, make it reminiscent on an exotic tropical isle. The water is transparent green and certain points amond the rocks often provide a retreat for nudists. The small forest directly above the beach is ideal for camping and is full of caravans and tents throughout the summer.
