Pachis beach Thassos

PACHIS beach Thassos is a long strip of pine-shaded sand about 6km west of the main resort of Limenas, before you reach Skala Rachonis.
Pachis beach is easy to miss as there is no village there and the main road is fairly long and straight, so passers-by tend to be travelling at speed. Pachis beach comes just after the headland as the road swings south west and nears the seashore.
The beach is unmarked and there is just a sand and gravel car park with a tarmac road that leads down past a small hotel/taverna. The approach to the sands is down a track from the car park.
There is a beach taverna to the south on Pachis beach which you will probably hear before you see, such is the owner's taste for disco. The long, sandy beach stretches for 1km or so to the north east.
Sunbeds and parasols are strung out along the shore at Pachis beach and there is plenty of shade from the scattered pines the cover the back of the beach.
Another smaller and quieter taverna nestles among the trees before the beach thins out and the sunbeds disappear. The sand turns more to shingle here and there are rocks underfoot out to sea until it ends at the concrete sea wall of a small hotel complex.
As the nearest large beach to Limenas, apart from Makryammos in the other direction, Pachis beach gets quite a bit of custom but not a great deal as it is relatively unknown, goes unremarked upon websites and, as far as I can find, appears on none of the island maps.
