Golden Beach is a tourist-developed area on the east coast of
Thassos island where hotels and apartment complexes have sprung up
in recent years to cater for the ever-increasing number of
holidaymakers who are discovering this so far unexploited Greek
island. The resort has a magnificent, safe white sand beach and
easy access to two quaint villages, Potomia and Panagia, providing
everything one expects from a Greek island holiday. Compared to
most other Greek resorts, though, the pace is slow and relaxed and
nightlife is subdued. This is gradually changing as development
proceeds and numbers of visitors increase, but there are as yet no
bright lights and burger huts. Most visitors hire a car to explore
the island and otherwise spend their time soaking up the sunshine
on the beach, trying out the many seafront tavernas or taking
walks.
