Golden Beach

Location

Golden beach is more than 3 kilometers long, mostly golden white sand (hence the name!) with some pebbles in parts. It has calm, crystal clear and shallow waters which are safe for the whole family.

The villages at each end, Skala Potamia (Chrisi Akti) at the southern end and Skala Panagia (Chrisi Ammoudia) at the northern end of the beach have a full range of tavernas, restaurants, bars, cafes, car and scooter hire, supermarkets and other shops. There are also water sports centers which offer everything for the ‘adrenalin junkies’ amongst you! If you like, you can always find a secluded spot to get away from everyone, even during August! You are never far away from a taverna serving delicious local cuisine or a bar/cafe with welcome liquid refreshments and snacks, which are dotted all along the beach.

Getting Here

Thassos is only accessible by ferry boat and has two ports, Skala Prinos and Limenas (Thassos Town) which are serviced from Kavala and Keramoti on the mainland.

The easiest way to get to our hotel is to arrive in Limenas by ferry from the port of Keramoti which is only a 10 minute drive from Kavala airport (Megas Alexandros) and 190 km away from Thessaloniki.

From Keramoti port the ferry boat arrives at Limenas (Thassos Town), the capital of Thassos Island. The journey time is 35 minutes and there are regular sailings, normally every half an hour during the summer. From Limenas, car or bus, turn left at the ring road and follow the signs for Panagia from there it is the same as the above directions (Kavala/Skala Prinos).

The ferry from Kavala runs to Skala Prinos and has a journey time of one and a quarter hours with a maximum of 5 sailings per day in the summer. When you arrive in Skala Prinos you will take the ring road and travel in a clockwise direction (following signs for Thassos town (Limenas), continue until you reach Limenas (Thassos town).

The closest airport to Thassos is Kavala Airport (Megas Alexandros Airport) which is close to Chrisoupolis just 17 km’s from the port of Keramoti. There is an all year round daily service to Athens and during the summer hosts charter flights from all over Europe.
