Description

Astris Beach in Thassos, located on the southern side of the island, is a one-hour drive away from Limenas. It is a serene spot of Astris village surrounded by olive trees and known for its natural beauty. Divided into two sections, the beach offers amenities such as sunbeds, umbrellas, and a beach bar. 

While not the top-scoring beach on the island, its charm has grown over the years, with clear, turquoise waters and sandy shores. Historically, the area is named "Astris" or "Astrida," translating to "village of the stars," due to the clear starry skies observed by locals during the annual olive harvest. With improved tourism infrastructure, Astris offers quality hotels, fresh seafood taverns, and a unique opportunity to relax your mind and soul.

Nearby lies the picturesque Psili Ammos Beach, renowned for its fine sand and considered one of the island's best. Giola Lagoon is also in close proximity to Astris Beach, a stunning natural pool hidden amongst cliffs.

The surrounding area of Astris Beach in Thassos holds significant historical importance, as evidenced by the discovery of ancient ruins and artifacts, suggesting it was once a vast vineyard. The nearby island, Astriotiko, was believed by historian Herodotus to be the home of the Sirens, mythical creatures who lured sailors with their songs; it's also linked to tales of Odysseus. Further attractions include the secluded bays of Thimonia and Livadi, characterized by its dramatic cliffs.
