Summer Holidays in Thassos: A Hidden Gem in the Aegean

If you’re dreaming of a summer escape where emerald waters meet pine-covered mountains, where authentic Greek culture blends with serene beauty, and where every sunset feels like a painting—then Thassos is your ideal destination. Often called the “Emerald of the Aegean,” this island in northern Greece offers the perfect mix of relaxation, exploration, and genuine hospitality.

 

Idyllic Beaches to Explore

Thassos is blessed with a stunning variety of beaches that suit all types of travelers. Among the most famous is Golden Beach, a long, sandy bay perfect for families and beach sports. Paradise Beach, surrounded by lush hills and offering shallow turquoise waters, is ideal for snorkeling and sunbathing. For those who enjoy a touch of history with their swim, Aliki Beach is an unmissable spot where ancient marble quarries sit right next to the sea.

Other notable mentions include Metalia Beach near Limenaria, known for its unique artistic ambiance and clear waters, and Giola, a natural rock lagoon that offers a truly one-of-a-kind swimming experience. If you prefer less crowded options, head to Salonikios Beach or Saliara (Marble Beach) for a quieter, more intimate encounter with Thassos’s coastline.

 

Discover the Charm of Skala Kallirachi

Nestled on the island’s western coast lies Skala Kallirachi, a tranquil fishing village that perfectly captures the soul of Thassos. With its picturesque harbor, family-run tavernas, and peaceful beaches, Skala Kallirachi is a place where time slows down. The village is ideal for those seeking authenticity, stunning sunsets, and easy access to both nature and culture.

 

It is here that you’ll find Anny’s Residences & Suites, a beautifully designed boutique accommodation offering a perfect blend of style, comfort, and local charm. Just a short walk from the sea, Anny’s is your home away from home—ideal for couples, families, and solo travelers alike. With spacious rooms, modern amenities, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it’s the perfect base for exploring both Skala Kallirachi and the rest of the island.

 

More Than a Beach Destination

Thassos has much more to offer than beautiful beaches. Explore the traditional mountain village of Panagia, wander through Theologos with its stone-built houses and authentic tavernas, or hike to ancient ruins and waterfalls hidden in the island’s interior. The island is also known for its high-quality olive oil, pine honey, and handcrafted sweets—perfect local gifts to bring back home.

 

Don’t miss a visit to the Archaeological Museum in Limenas, or a scenic drive through the pine forests that reveal breathtaking views over the Aegean Sea.

 

Experience the Real Greece

What sets Thassos apart is its authenticity. This is an island that remains true to its roots—unspoiled, welcoming, and deeply connected to nature and tradition. Whether you’re enjoying freshly grilled seafood by the water, sailing around the island on a boat tour, or simply relaxing under the sun, every moment here feels genuine.
