Holidays in Skala Potamias

A little harbour lined with traditional tavernas. A beach that's nothing short of gorgeous – backed by a ribbon of deep piled dunes. A couple of cafes, a handful of shops … A picture of holidays in Skala Potamias...

If you can see yourself in that picture, here's a bit of detail to sharpen the focus. Just nine miles (on an hourly bus service) from all the shops and eateries of Thassos Town, this hideaway village sits at the southern end of a sheltered half-moon bay. A two-mile stroll through the shallows at the water's edge would bring you to the northern end … and a lively watersports scene at Golden Sands resort. But prepare yourself for the tempo to go up a notch … because, while Golden Sands is far from frenzied, Skala Potamias holidays turn 'unhurried' into an art form.
