2MARBLE BEACH, THASSOS

Guess how Marble Beach (also known as Saliara) got its name? That’s right, the pebbles on this beach resemble giant marbles.

They’re so smooth and so white that the crystal clear water becomes an intense emerald colour, reflecting the dense vegetation that surrounds the beach. It’s a bit tricky to find (the roads aren’t great) but it still gets busy in the summer months. Everyone wants a dip in those exotic colours! If you prefer a black pebble then check out Chochlaki Beach on Nisyros or Mavra Volia on Chios.
