Facilities: A fringe of pines and olive groves provides some natural shade, but most visitors make use of the rows of sunbeds and umbrellas that line the shore.

On the east coast of Thassos, a long arc of golden sand stretches between low headlands. The water is clear and shallow, shelving gently – good for children and less confident swimmers. The beach faces the open Aegean, so a moderate swell often rolls in, though the bay offers shelter from the strongest winds.

Golden Beach stretches for over two kilometres along the east coast of Thassos, just south of the resort village that shares its name. The beach is broad and sandy, shelving gently into sea that usually has a moderate wave action – enough for a lively swim but seldom rough.

San Antonio sits on Thassos' east coast, a short drive south of the resort village of Potos.
