Skala Potamias is a bustling beach resort on the east coast of Thassos, around a 20-minute drive from the capital of Limenas and at the southern end of the famous Golden Beach. It is a purpose-built beach resort that has everything that you could possibly want from a cheap sunshine getaway. It is also within walking distance from the main part of Golden Beach and Skala Panagia, meaning you can jump between the three at your pleasure.
Budget holidays to Skala Potamias are very readily available and the resort can be reached from most regional airports. There is no major airport on the island of Thassos so instead, you will have to fly to Kavala International Airport. From there, Skala Potamias is around an hour and a half away.

Skala Potamias is at its busiest during the summer period which runs from about mid-spring to mid-autumn. During this time, temperatures reach the high 20s on most days which is ideal for those seeking summer sunshine. Prices tend to be slightly cheaper outside of these months from autumn to spring but not massively as this place is very affordable no matter when you choose to go. However, Skala Potamias and the nearby resorts are focused on its summer influx of visitors and the beach, so we don’t really recommend a trip outside of these months.
The beach in this resort that becomes a part of the larger Golden Beach is definitely the main attraction. The soft sands, pleasant waters and lively atmosphere are what pull so many people to this place each and every year. In and around the resort you will also find vehicle hire, shops, a harbour and a good quality of nightlife. If you are looking for a traditional Greek resort, you will want to look elsewhere. However, if a fun and affordable package-holiday-style trip is what you’re after, then this is definitely the place for you.
The accommodation options in Skala Potamias are fantastic and what you would expect from a purpose-built tourist resort. It has everything from smaller family-run apartments to larger, more lavish hotel complexes. There are also options both right by the beach and further inland - the choice really is yours. You will also find a wide variety of bars, restaurants and tavernas in the resort that will cater to your every eating and drinking need.
