Long sandy beach with beach bar. However, there are underwater flat, slippery stones, some with sea urchins. Popular for nudists (off-season) just like the Arsanas Beach, separated by a few rocks from Livadi Beach.

5 km from Aliki there is the beautiful monastery, a very interesting complex on the mountainside. It's a convent with old icons and full of flower pots and it is a good viewpoint over the sea and the south shore of Thasos.
A few kilometers after the monastery is another famous spot in Thassos, called Giola. It is a natural pool overlooking the sea. The descent to Giola is signposted. The trip goes on dirt roads to a parking lot and from there walk down the mountain. The walk is very strenuous, especially in the summer. During high tide, the pool is clean and inviting, but after days without high tides, no fresh water from the sea enters the pool, and the water gets dark and dirty. Some people jump off the rocks into the pool, but this is extremely dangerous. Every year, several people suffer serious head injuries as a result of this recklessness.
Bay with a sandy beach surrounded by hotels and B&Bs.

An abandoned village that had been rebuilt partially for tourist use. It is well worth seeing.

A "must-see location" with a very romantic beach and the remains of an ancient temple. Aliki is not a village. It consists of only a few restaurants but it is one of the main tourist attractions of Thasos. It's the landscape that makes it so unique. In summer it is overcrowded and it may be hard to find a parking space. Aliki is also a peninsula of archaeological interest where an ancient quarry of marble is situated that was used from the ancient to early Byzantine years and was one of the main Greek areas regarding the mining and exportation of marble. Owing to the dismantling and sale of the coveted white marble a relatively large and prosperous settlement and a port suitable for transport was built. Alikes was evacuated abruptly due to the strike of a heavy earthquake in the 5th century AD. This is the reason why today the marble rocks are discernible under the surface of the sea. The residents of Aliki migrated to other areas of the island because their economic basis (the quarry) had disappeared. However, some people continued to live in the settlement on fishing business and merchandising until its total destruction by pirates in 1651.
One of the most picturesque places in Thassos, very busy in high season, a must-see location with archaeological sites. At the southeast end of the peninsula there is a natural stone pool right by the sea, where you can bathe romantically.
