Like Skala Panagia, this is a pure tourist spot on the "Golden Beach" bay with beautifully located restaurants and hotels. The small harbor is only partially suitable as anchorage for sailboats, since at night is very wavy.

Scala Panagia, Potamia Scala
It used to be a romantic empty beach, but is now one of the most visited beaches of Thassos. It's a long, wide sandy beach hemmed with hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and a camping site. Crowded in high season. Good water quality. Don't miss the little fishing harbour at the northern end of the beach. From there you have a wonderful view over the beach and the mountains in the background.
Σκάλα Παναγία
It consists solely of a cluster of hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, and more lining the exquisite "Golden Beach," renowned as Thasos' premier coastal destination. No central hub exists here; instead, visitors can find everything they desire. Towards the northern tip of the beach lies a charming, picturesque fishing harbor, which serves as the departure point for various excursion boats. However, the harbor isn't ideal for sailboats, particularly in windy conditions, as the anchors can be problematic due to the presence of seagrass. During the summer season, the beach becomes extremely crowded.
Ποταμιά
An old mountain village high on a wooded hill and is less touristy than Panagia. It is certainly worth a walk through the village. Because of the altitude location, it is getting a little cooler here in summer than at Scala Potamia.
Παναγία
A romantic small mountain village with old, traditional houses, restaurants and a few souvenir shops on a beautiful wooded hill. The "Dragon's Lair" is a cave near the village and is also worth a visit because of the scenic environment.
