Skala Potamias Holidays

Dreamy setting

Picture this – a sleepy seaside village against a backdrop of mountains on the scenic east coast of the Greek island of Thassos. Welcome to Skala Potamius – the perfect place to get away from it all. Relaxation comes courtesy of its family-run tavernas, local bars and pint-sized harbour, not to mention the olive groves and pine forests.

Greece's gold coast

Right on the doorstep is Golden Beach, an arc of soft sand that's got a glowing rep as one of the best beaches in Greece – it's got Blue Flag award-winning status. Along its meandering shore, you can go easy on a sunlounger or pump up the action with a choice of watersports.

City tripper

A 15-minute drive's all it takes to reach the island's historic capital, Thassos Town. Talk about ageing gracefully – this ancient spot's a charmer in every sense. Wander along the handsome old harbour, pop by the timeless marketplace, marvel at the amphitheatre and fascinating acropolis – you'll be smitten in no time.
