Golden Beach
Χρυσή Αμμουδιά
The longest beach on eastern Thasos: a roughly 2.5 km stretch of golden sand facing an open bay, backed by Mount Ipsarion, with well-equipped facilities.
Golden Beach (Chrysi Ammoudia) lies in the bay below Panagia, stretching from Skala Panagias to Skala Potamias over about 2.5 km, making it Thasos's longest beach. The sand is fine and soft, the sea shallow and calm, and green hills rise behind. Hotels, beach bars, restaurants and watersports centres line the shore, making it well suited to families and longer stays. The northern end is livelier, while the southern end is quieter. Beach bars usually offer free use of sunbeds with a drink purchase.
