Latest reviews on Thasos's beaches

Camping beach
10 Nina Varga

We've been to this beach two years in a row, so it's safe to say we enjoy it. It has a cozy vibe and if you're seeking tranquility, you'll find it here. On the other hand, Potos offers a lively atmosphere.

Metalia beach
8 Liria Nivaru

This beach is perfect for diving and offers enough space between sunbeds for privacy. Additionally, the beach bar serves delicious drinks.

Golden beach
10 Larisa M

This beach is quite lovely. For 8-10 euros, you can rent an umbrella, two sunbeds, and enjoy two refreshing drinks. The water is exceptionally clean, and there's ample parking space available.

Astrida beach
10 swiftspin

This exquisite little stretch of sand boasts a delightful atmosphere, complete with enchanting tunes and an infectious energy. Despite its undeniable appeal, the beach remains unspoiled by the throngs of tourists, thanks in part to the diligent efforts of the proprietors. One of the most impressive aspects of this locale is the fact that they do not impose a fee for the use of their sunbeds. However, guests are required to meet a minimum consumption amount, which varies based on the location of their chosen sunbed and umbrella. For example, those situated in the front row must spend at least 30 euros for two sunbeds and an umbrella.

Trypiti beach
8 Jacob Rennick.

This particular beach may not be the ideal spot for those seeking to lounge in the sun, as the sand is peppered with small rocks that may require the use of water shoes. Additionally, the water quickly becomes deep, making it a more suitable location for snorkeling enthusiasts. It is worth noting that while some individuals may have opted for a clothing-optional approach, it is unclear whether this beach is officially designated as such.

Agia Anna
10 Liam T.

This beach is an incredible hidden gem, although parking is limited, it never seems to get too crowded. It's easy to miss if you aren't paying attention while driving, but once you find it, the water is absolutely stunning. It's definitely worth a visit if you're touring the island.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 37 beaches in the island, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
