The sandy beaches of Thassos

Beggining our journey from the south coast of Thassos Island we find ourselves in a small sandy beach which is located in the north of Limenaria and is called Tripiti Beach. An attraction of the beach is the natural bathtub with its cave exit leading in the open sea.
As farer you go to west, the calmer becomes the sea. You can also find some mussels there. At the foot of the villa Speidel of Limenaria is the fine-sandy beach Metalia Beach.
