Beach overall scores
Glifoneri beach (Thrace) is located outside the Akti Pachi settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Thasos and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Glifoneri beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The beach was simply breathtaking! It was a hidden gem with a small stretch of sand that was naturally shaded by the surrounding trees. The water was so clear that you could see all the way to the bottom. However, it's important to arrive early if you want to secure a parking spot for your car."
Renzo Renzo
"This beach is an ideal spot for families with small children as the water is crystal clear and shallow, ensuring safety for the little ones. It's easily accessible and won't break the bank at just 2€ for a sunbed. Additionally, the beach is well-maintained and kept clean, ensuring a pleasant experience for all visitors."
