View All DealsHolidays to Golden Beach give you exactly that, in spades. But you also get rustic Greek restaurants, lashings of watersports and easy access to the capital.
As you’d expect from its name, this photogenic resort on the east coast of Thassos is all about the beach. Many consider the huge, sweeping bay here to be the best on the island. And the pine-clad hills backing onto it only add to the picture-postcard scene. On top of that, a clutch of friendly bars and tavernas offer just what you need for a kick-back-and-relax kind of holiday.
The beach here is a Blue Flag winner that gives you 3 kilometres of soft and, yes, golden sands. The stretch shelves gently into clear, shallow waters just made for paddling. Umbrellas and loungers are up for hire, and come lunchtime you won’t even have to get up as the beachfront tavernas will deliver right to you.
The resort has a small but growing portfolio of bars and tavernas – and most are right on the beach, so are great places to watch the sunset. For livelier nights out, the capital, Thassos Town, is just 15 minutes away. Here, there’s a good mix of cocktail bars and tavernas playing Greek bouzouki music, plus a couple of clubs.
Twenty minutes by water taxi and you’re in Thassos Town. The main attraction here is the 5th-century BC amphitheatre up on the hill. It’s a bit of climb – 136 steps – but from here you can also go up to the acropolis to see the ruins of Greek temples. Then down by the pretty old harbour there’s an Archaeological Museum and, next door, the remains of an ancient marketplace.
