Guide to Skala Prinou

"With a beach, a boatyard, a couple of bars and a sprinkle of traditional tavernas, Skala Prinou invites you to experience its very Greek nature … And puts you in a great position for island and mainland discovery."

A boatyard that still builds traditional caiques, a quay for the Kavala ferry's comings and goings, a colourful Monday morning market and a long and strollable promenade … Skala Prinou lends itself to tourism – as opposed to selling its soul. So you get the chance to immerse yourself in Greek island life, while enjoying all the usual holiday 'must-haves'. There's a narrow sandy beach, shelving gently into the sea. The quayside tavernas are as much a hub of local life as an attraction for visitors. And there's a handy supermarket and a couple of cafes in the village. When you've re-charged your batteries in this quiet spot, there are excellent routes for exploration too. You could sail with the ferry to shop in big and busy Kavala. Or hop on the bus to Thassos Town – its ancient ruins and waterfront restaurants are just 17km away. And the classic Greek village of Rahoni is even nearer, with traditional kafenions on its old-world square. Skala Prinou is an ideal choice for ardent Grecophiles.
