Potos is a popular tourist destination on the south coast of
Thassos, it’s not too far from
Limenaria, around a 5 minute drive but it’s a long 50 minutes from the islands capital and main port
Limenas.
Potos has a lovely long sand beach with all the facilities you need for a day out in the sunshine. There’s multiple tavernas, shops, watersports and lots more. To find out more about the beach go to our
Potos beach page.
The town itself has narrow streets lined with bars, restaurants and shops. Many of the streets are too narrow for cars making it a good place for young families.
There’s plenty of hotels available in Potos, around the beach are the smaller apartments to rent and on the outskirts of the town are the larger hotels with pools. There’s dozens of restaurants in the town with options to suit all tastes.
There’s also supermarkets, vehicle rental shops, ATMs, boat tours available from the harbour area and even a scuba diving centre for those that want to take a closer look at the sea life of the area.
Potos has everything you need within walking distance of the beach and hotels so if you just want a package holiday with a wealth of amenities and a good beach then this is a great choice.
