Discovering Porto Vathy Marble Beach: Thassos Island’s Hidden Gem

Experience the breathtaking beauty of Porto Vathy Marble Beach, where pristine white marble shores meet crystal-clear turquoise waters.

The Magic of Porto Vathy Marble Beach

Porto Vathy Marble Beach is a true paradise nestled on the northeastern coast of Thassos Island, approximately 7km from Limenas (Thassos Town). What makes this beach truly special is its unique shoreline composed of smooth white marble pebbles that glisten under the Mediterranean sun. The striking contrast between the brilliant white marble and the vibrant blue-green waters creates a visual spectacle that must be seen to be believed.

Unlike other beaches in the region, Porto Vathy offers a one-of-a-kind experience where visitors can walk on cool marble stones that don’t heat up like traditional sand, even on the hottest summer days. The water clarity at Porto Vathy Marble Beach is exceptional, allowing swimmers to see straight to the bottom even in deeper areas.
