Skala Potamia beach
Rock Potamias is a picturesque beach in the eastern part of Thassos. Its length is 2.5 km, and it is surrounded by green mountains and majestic cliffs. Due to the fact that the beach is located in the bay, there is no strong wind and large waves on it. In addition, the Potamias Rock is characterized by a smooth set of depth and is strewn with soft, snow-white and pleasant to the touch sand. For its cleanliness, the beach received the Blue Flag Award.

When is the best time to go?
Greece - a country with a long length from north to south, so the recommendations will vary depending on the place where you are going. The holiday season begins in May and reaches a peak in July-August: there are too many tourists, and the temperature on the southern islands reaches 40 degrees, which may still not play a role on the beach, but certainly not suitable for sightseeing. So the best time to relax in Greece is the end of spring-beginning of summer or September-October.
