Kinira Resort

The peaceful recreational resort and small village of Kinira which can boast two beautiful beaches - Kinira Beach and Paradise Beach - can be found by all those who enjoy summer heat and picturesque coast on the south-east of Thassos. Besides its beaches, Kinira stands out for its beautiful landscape and rich history. From its coast, you can see up to the little uninhabited private island on the opposite side, with a house of its owners. The island is covered with rocks and dense cover of pine and olive trees, completing the characteristic imgae of the resort.

What to do in Kinira?

In the village, you can stay mainly in private pensions and suites. In some of the few tavernas and restaurants, you can try something of the local cuisine, while the shops will offer you basic foodstuffs and articles. Kinira has a rich history related to gold mining, and so, it is no wonder that many sites from the ancient times have been discovered in the place, mainly from the era of Roman dominion; but also remains of Byzantine baths. In the surroundings, you can go on many walking trips. If you want to go for a ride though, set off to the capital of Thassos - Limenas by bus.

Kinira beaches

The Kinira Beach belonging to the resort is long and covered with goldish sand both on dry land and on the seabed sloping gently into the depth, thus creating favourable and safe environment for small children and less experienced swimmers. The water there is clean, calm and crystal clear, and along the beach, you will find plenty of green vegetation which is really abundant thanks to the many springs in the region. The good thing about the beach is that it is not overcrowded even during the high season.

The second beach, separated by a rock from the first one, is Paradise Beach with similar conditions. Its sand is also goldish and the clean water through which you will see up to the seabed invites to enjoy water pleasures. In this place there is enough shallow water for children´s games, too, and safe splashing around. There is also a rocky part of the beach popular among nudists.
