Agios Vasilios
Agios Vasilios is a rugged stretch of coast line with sand, shingle and mainly pebbles under foot. It’s narrow with a shallow entrance to the sea. It’s probably not great for families as there’s not much sand for young children to play in and the lack of water sports or music would mean older kids would likely get bored too.
Alexandra
Alexandra beach is well organised with 4 or 5 rows of sun loungers covering part of the beach as well as some luxury loungers available to hire. There’s a taverna on the beach to keep you fed and hydrated through out the day. There’s no water sports but there is a jetty with a platform at the end which is great fun to jump and dive off into the sea.
Aliki
The popularity of Aliki beach wont be to everyone’s tastes, in some places there are 4 rows of sun loungers, which, on a beach that’s just 15m deep means they are tightly packed in. What will be to everyone’s liking is the fantastic views of the bay, with soft sand, gorgeous turquoise waters and lush green trees lining the banks this is a stunning place.
Arsanas
Arsanas beach is mainly sand with some stones and pebbles around the edges. Getting to the beach is tricky as the road to the beach is rough and it doesn’t lead all the way, you have to park at the roadside and walk the last 50 to 100 metres.There’s no water sports, no jetty and minimal room for ball games so perhaps not ideal for youngsters
Astris
Astris beach is a decent size, roughly 260m long and 30m at it’s widest point so you should be able to find a bit of space for yourself, even though it’s pretty popular in the summer months. There’s mainly sand under foot but there are a few strips of stones in places and the sea bed is stony too, beach shoes might be a good idea when swimming.
Glikadi
The rustic beach consists of soft, fine sand, a shallow entrance to the sea and some rocks around the edges. There’s no sunbeds, no taverna and definitely no music or water sports. It’s great for kids as they can play in the sand or paddle in the shallow waters. The only things to watch out for is the strips of stones around the entrance to the sea.
Glyfada
Glyfada is a long but narrow semi private beach on the north coast of Thassos. Although not strictly private it’s pretty much only visited by those staying in the Glyfada hotel that’s right on the beach which means it remains fairly quiet throughout the year and if you are one of the guests at the hotel you’ll be able to make the most of the beach.
Glyfoneri
Glyfoneri is a small picturesque beach surrounded by hills that are covered in pine trees, the trees offer shelter and shade for long periods of the day so it’s probably not ideal for sun worshippers but for those that prefer to keep cool it’s perfect. At just 50m wide Glyfoneri beach doesn’t have a lot of room but fortunately it doesn’t get too busy.
Golden
Golden beach is one of the most popular on Thassos island, It’s just under 3km long so there’s plenty of room for everyone and it never feels over crowded. Golden Beach has a shallow entrance to the sea and soft fine sand making it perfect for families with young kids. There’s plenty to entertain older kids at Golden beach too.
Skidia
Skidia is a tiny sandy beach in amongst the rocks although there is a tiny beach most people that visit lay a towel on the rocks as the sandy part of the beach is barely big enough for a handful of people. The entrance to the sea gets deep quickly and with all the rocks it is definitely not suitable for youngsters.
