Metalia Beach

Metalia Beach in Thassos stands out with its pristine waters, contrasting landscapes of white sands and dark metal terrain – from a former iron mine that used to be operating in the area – and emerald waters.

This beautiful place is known for the tranquility of every sunset painting a new story on the canvas of your Thassos summertime experience. Surrounded by nature and seldom crowded with families and small children, this beach will be your go-to place for sunbathing and reading. Amenities include a laid-back beach bar, sunbeds, and a volleyball net. It's an ideal spot for uninterrupted relaxation anytime. Water shoes are recommended, though, if you feel uneasy walking on the rocky seabed.

Metalia Beach in Thassos features remnants of an old German mine, a medieval-like palace, and stunning sculptures. Its diverse landscape includes hidden coves, pine trees, and artistic landmarks, a well-earned reward for the restless adventurer.

Add this magical place to your must-visit list from May to August if you’re fond of temperatures of 40°C, or hold your horses until September or October to find the real deal for relaxation at temperatures of 25-30°C.

The beach is accessible by foot via the hill where Palataki stands or by car from Limenaria to Potos, with signs leading to a rugged road to the beach. Parking is available nearby.
