Thassos is one of the greenest of the Greek islands, and the resort of Potos on its southern coast makes a calm, scenic base for UK families and couples. Pine-clad hills, sandy beaches and clear water give it a relaxed, unspoilt feel that stands apart from the bigger party islands.

The appeal is simple, sun, sea and a gentle pace, with friendly tavernas and pretty scenery never far away.
