Chrissi Ammoudia Resort

Chrissi Ammoudia or the ´Golden Beach´ with the highest peak of the island in the background, is probably the most famous, the most visited and supposedly also the most beautiful resort on Thassos. It is located in a wide bay on the north-east coast about 10 km from the capital of Limenas. 

In the resort you can stay in hotels but also on a campsite. Obviously in the surroundings, you will find many tavernas, restaurants and shops will all kinds of goods.

The position of Chrissi Ammoudia is a guarantee that you won´t be bored. Only about 2 km from the resort,  you will find another recreational destination, Skala Potamias, where you can try water skiing or ride a boat. The place can be reached comfortably after a 30-minutes walk even with small children.

If you like hiking and especially mountain hiking, you can climb the highest peak of the island, Ipsarion. In the mountain villages, you will see places almost untouched by tourism with adorable pieces of architecture. You can visit e.g. the villages of Panagia or Potamia. If you prefer developed civilization though, set off to the capital of Limenas.

Chrissi Ammoudia beach

As its name suggests, the Golden Beach (for a detailed description, see the link) boasts sand gleaming with white to yellow under the sun´s rays, resembling a flood of little golden shards and stretching on almost 4 kilometres. The sea water there is crystal clear, and light blue to turquoise along the long shallow coast. Since the seabed slopes down only very gently, the beach is popular especially among families with small children who can play there with no worry. Thanks to its cleanliness and enough shallow water, it is also perfect for snorkelling. On your stay on the beach, you can hide from the hot sun under the trees, coverin all the surroundings and descending up to the sea, or rent an umbrella and a deckchair.
