Aliki Beach

Aliki Beach is a small, picturesque beach located in Thassos, Greece, 31 km south of the town of Limenas on the southeastern coast. It is situated near the popular resort of Alyki and is noted for its white sand and clear, pristine waters. The beach is a blend of sand and stones, which can be challenging on windy days. Yet, when the wind comes from the north, the beach provides a windless sanctuary.

The landscape surrounding Aliki Beach is characterized by a mix of pine trees, olive trees, and ancient marble quarries, which adds to its unique and appealing natural scenery. A notable feature of the beach is a marshy area located 100 meters from the coast, which naturally dries up during the summer months. Underwater, the beach starts with somewhat slippery stones but soon transitions to sand and gradually deepens. After about 15 meters, visitors can encounter posidonia algae and a significant population of small fish.

Aliki Beach is unorganized, meaning it does not offer sunbeds or similar amenities. However, it does provide a wooden umbrella for shade and a free lending library for those who enjoy reading in a tranquil setting. Despite its appeal, the beach is typically not crowded, offering visitors a quiet spot to appreciate the beauty of the Aegean Sea.

While there are no dedicated parking facilities available, the beach is within a 2.6km walking distance from the local town, known as the chora. This charming town is characterized by narrow passages with painted floor stones, small tavernas, bars, and shops. A nearby restaurant serves local cuisine for those looking to sample the regional food.

For those who wish to explore the area, there are nearby sightseeing attractions such as the Archaeological Site of Alyki and an ancient marble quarry. Moreover, for those seeking a more organized beach experience, there are other options within a short distance.
