The name Chrysi Ammoudia translates to "Golden Sand" and is a popular and wonderful long sandy beach located in a bay at the northeast part of the island. Like most of the beaches of Thasos the water is shallow which is ideal for kids.
At the right corner of the bay is the settlement of Skala Potamia, with its tiny fishing port. The rest of the bay it's developed into a holiday resort with numerous studios and apartments available.
