Nysteri beach Thassos

The beach at NYSTERI is only a short distance from the capital port at Limenas and an ideal alternative to the town beach, especially for those staying at the western edge among the many apartment blocks that have sprung up in recent years.
Nysteri is a short climb along the main road to the top of the headland. There are several pull-in places to park a car and tracks leading down to the beach.
The Nysteri Hotel sits on the hillside at the western end of the beach but is well obscured by trees and bushes. Nysteri has a long sandy beach, narrow in places but gently shelving into the sea where it is also sandy underfoot.
The back of Nysteri beach has an area of flat woodland and scrub that leads to a small taverna, so there is plenty of natural shade. Sun beds and umbrellas are provided by the hotel and taverna.
Paths through the woods at the back of Nysteri beach offer plenty of walking for those wishing to explore the area.
Those staying on the beach can watch the car ferries ploughing back and forth between Limenas and Keramouti, far enough offshore not to be a nuisance although bow waves can catch you unawares.
In the distance you can make out Limenas and the uninhabited offshore islet of Thassopoulou adds interest.
