Description

On the east coast of Thassos, just north of the livelier Golden Beach, Agia Paraskevi offers a quieter, more natural stretch of sand. The beach runs for a few hundred metres, backed by low hills covered in olive and pine trees. The sea is shallow and clear, with a moderate swell that's pleasant for swimming. There are no permanent sunbed or umbrella concessions; the beach is largely undeveloped, so bring your own shade and supplies. A few tamarisk trees provide scattered natural shade near the back. Parking is along the roadside above the beach, with a short footpath leading down. This spot attracts locals and visitors seeking peace rather than buzzing facilities. It stays fairly uncrowded even in peak season, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it good for families and those wanting a simple day by the sea. The only sounds are the waves and birds.
