The little strand at Platana

Hara is a small beach of coarse sand and pebbles on the northwest coast of Thasos, in the area of Rachoni and Platana, a few steps from Platana beach. Its name coincides with the Greek word for joy.

Tall trees and rich vegetation reach down to the shore, forming a green landscape that has remained relatively undisturbed. Rachoni and Platana are small settlements on the island's northwestern side, each with its own seaside character.

The beach is seasonally organised, with a beach bar, a café, sunbeds and parking, while the trees offer natural shade. Access is by a paved road.

About this beach

Hara is exposed in the meltemi — often choppy on summer N/NE days. That comes from the measured shape of the coastline around it and our curated wind records — a seasonal picture, not a live forecast, so check live wind and waves before you go.

The shoreline at Hara faces north-west, so it usually has natural cover from southerly, south-easterly and south-westerly winds.

Hara has sand and pebbles underfoot with shallow, gently shelving water — handy for families with young children.

For amenities, Hara has an organised beach, a beach bar, sunbeds, natural shade and parking nearby. There is a campsite nearby (For Nature Lovers, ~333 m).
