Another lovely sunny day in golden beach
We’ve had lovely weather at the start and end of the season in April/May and late September. Looking forward to relaxing on Serendipity’s balcony, on the edge of Limenas, with the view
below to gaze at!
Great view
We fell in love with Thassos the first time we visited this beautiful island… we usually come for two weeks in June and the same in September …it will be our 11th time there this June! We like to space our hols out too and prefer to go when it isn’t the main school hols and enjoy it when it is fairly quiet!Yes it’s exciting to be to think we’ll be back in 4 months! 
:)
Andystuffins, we now have snow in Lincoln
Thanks to everyone who shared their reasons for booking June, your answers are great! Here are some more questions that we have for all of you return visitors:
How do you enjoy spending your holidays on Thassos? Any favorite pastimes?
What would you suggest to those who will visit Thassos for the very first time? Any “Must Sees” or “Must Dos”?
Almost certainly a trip into the mountains
We found it definitely worthwhile to hire a car or jeep and just drive round the island stopping at all the view points overlooking different views of the sea and stopping off at different beaches and little hidden coves.We also recommend a trip into the mountains.We love to take a trip to Giola(only dont go after heavy rains as the water will probably be brown instead of beautiful green)It is always nice to have a day in Limenas and have a stroll looking in the little souvenir shops and a walk round the old and the new harbour.We also love just chilling out on the beach at Limenaria!!!Everyone likes to experience different things whilst on their hols.There are plenty different experiences to be had on Thassos Island.
We’ve been going to Scala Potamia for so many years :} Would always recommend hiring a car ( Speedys ) and driving round the Island ( it only takes a day ) and you can take in all the lovely places mentioned on this forum. Always worth a stroll through Thassos Town and the harbour. In recent years we tend to stay in Golden Beach/ Scala and just chill out - it’s so relaxing . A typical day is a breakfast at Green Sea then sunbeds just along the beach - back to Suzies late afternoon then an evening stroll along to Scala Potamia to Korali for a meal followed by drinks/crepe at Yolta’s bar a bit further down - times all this by 14 !!! Roll on 8th July and we can do it all again.
June and late August for hubby and I. In August we arrive on my birthday and our last night is hubby’s birthday! So my birthday meal will be sea bass at the Nautilus yay
Can anyone tell me how to get Giola. We’ve seen photos but in all our years going to Thassos we have never been.
Giola is a natural rocky pool that is located in the region of Astris. The height of the rocks reaches up to 8m from where the swimmers can dive into the clear waters. The course towards Giola is tough and you will have to walk.
In order to arrive at Giola, drive from Poto to Astris. After the hotel Aeria you will find a sign indicating to Sirens. Turn left and follow the dirt-road. After a while you will get to a beach. There, you can park your vehicle since the route becomes tougher. Ascend the road on your left, whose end you can park your car as well. From that spot, descend towards the shore. There are many signs and signals with arrows showing the direction. It is recommended that you a high four-engined or an off-road vehicle. The overall distance from the main road is about 2km.
I found this hope it helps ! Gary
Thanks Gary for the info on Giola we will definitely try and get there this year.
wow looks like a proper pea souper today
Looked out of my window this morning to a grey,foggy morning,thought I would get my Thassos fix on here,logged onto a grey,foggy morning,lol
Thassos certainly gets it’s share of foggy weather in the winter time, I have seen it many times on the webcam whilst other mainland resorts have been basking in sunshine but i’m sure it will be much better by May lol
See the digger is lined up to clear the seaweed - summer is on the way!!
That’s a bit early for Greece
5 months and we will be on our way to wonderful Thassos.
not that i’m counting.hurry up
The see is very choppy today,it looks orange, I guess that is the sand being churned up by the waves.
