The Makryammos of Kinira that became 'Paradise'
Paradeisos (Paradise Beach) stretches along the eastern coast of Thasos, in an enclosed bay near the village of Kinira, with fine sand and a pine-clad slope behind it. It was formerly known as Makryammos Kiniron, and it is said to have taken its international name in the early 1980s, from a refreshment bar that opened on the shore.
The neighbouring village of Kinira has a long history, and together with the area of Palaiochori it sits on the eastern side of Thasos, a part of the island with an old tradition of ore mining. Behind the beach, the dense pine forest descends almost to the water and gives the cove the exotic look that inspired its name.
It is a large, organized beach with beach bars, sunbeds and umbrellas, a taverna nearby and parking, and in 2025 it was among the spots listed for seasonal lifeguard coverage. Access is by a surfaced road.
