Our description
Halkias Studios is one of the most popular accommodations in our offer. It is located close to the beach, at the entrance to Limenaria and has very reasonable prices. Studios are spacious. Some have sea view, some have mountain view. Guests can pay extra for breakfast or lunch. The owners are wonderful people, always ready to help.
Accommodation is 100m from the beach. On the ground floor is a restaurant where you can pay extra for breakfast or lunch. The villa is located in the south of the island, so almost all the most popular beaches are very close by. It is an excellent base for visiting and exploring the island. Center of Limenaria is around 1,5km far or 15 minutes by feet. There are promenade with variety of shops, restaurants, taverns and supermarkets. City beach, that can be reached in 2 minutes by feet, is partially sandy, partially rocky. Near the villa is a large and well-stocked supermarket, 600m away.
Halkias Studios was built in 1984. It consists of six studios, located on the high ground floor and on the first floor. They can be double, triple and quadruple. The double studio no. 6 (16m2) is on the first floor and it has one double bed a sea view. Two quadruple studios on the first floor (25-30m2) have one double and two bunk beds. They have a sea (no. 5) or mountain view (no. 4). The last two studios (40m2) on the first floor have four single beds. No. 1 has a sea view while the studio no. 2 overlooks the mountains.
Studio no. 8 is the only one located on the high ground floor and it has a garden view, one double and two single beds. **
In the studios number 1, 2 and 8, it is possible to add an extra bed, which is smaller than the standard beds, so a larger person would not be able to accommodate it, because it would be uncomfortable.
Some rooms have sea views, but they also look towards the main road and are louder than those rooms at the back of the house. Rooms are mutually different in size, some are less, some more spacious. Quadruple studios are spacious. All units are equipped with a kitchenette, terrace, air conditioning, TV, bathroom and WiFi internet. Furniture is a classic, wooden. Studios on the second floor are not available for the online reservations.
Breakfast is from 8-10h, and the lunch/dinner are until 16h. Drinks are not included in the price.
The owner is keeping the hygiene on high level. Cleaning is done every 4-5 days, as well as the replacement of bed linen and towels. The owner is very kind and you can arrange more frequent replacement of bed linen and towels with her.
Villa has private parking.
Accommodation is located 1,5km before Limenaria, from the direction of Prinos, on the left side of the road.
We recommend this villa to anyone who wants an affordable deal for summer. The prices are much lower compared to other similar villas and accommodation is quite decent.
You can find out more about Limenaria in our Tourist guide to Thassos.

Guest reviews
One of the most beautiful summer vacations. The hosts are exceptionally kind. The food in their tavern is of high quality and delicious. The beach is spacious, with fine sand and nearby. The water is clean. The rooms are tidy, but small. They change the bed linen every three days and the towels every five days. We became such good friends with the owner that we felt sad to leave, rather than that the vacation was over. I haven't met such an interesting person in a long time. The WiFi is good.
Tidy rooms, spacious and nearby beach, delicious food, affordable accommodation price, clean water
Cons
At night, you can hear cars rumbling on the road, but that's not the owner's fault :)
One of the most beautiful summer vacations. Highly recommended. The hosts are exceptionally kind. The food is delicious. The beach is nearby, large, wide, and the water is crystal clear. The rooms are tidy, albeit smaller. The bed linens are changed every three days, and towels every five. We became such good friends with the host that we felt sad to leave, rather than sad that the vacation was over.
Exceptional kindness, spacious and nearby beach, crystal clear water
Cons
I highly recommend it. The accommodation is in a fantastic location. Everything is clean. There is a restaurant at the entrance.
The hosts are wonderful people. They are accommodating to all needs. The food at their tavern is excellent. The location serves as an ideal point from which one can easily and simply explore the island. There are several interesting beaches nearby. A delightful place for a getaway.
We were delighted with the accommodation; although it may not seem so at first glance, in the end, you realize that you have arrived at your grandmother's house in the countryside, and it truly is the best feeling, reminiscent of our time with Marta and Sakis. The people are friendly and always available to help, and I wholeheartedly recommend this place!
Affordable accommodation. If you are not too demanding, you will enjoy your stay as you are on a beautiful island, and you will spend your time not in the accommodation but on the stunning beaches. I must emphasize that renovation and more investment are needed, both in the accommodation units and in the interior and exterior.
Proximity to the beach, parking space (it is very difficult to find parking in Limenaria), restaurant within the property.
Cons
Distance from the store and bakery.
The accommodation is clean and tidy; apartment number 5 features two terraces. The hosts are friendly, and we encountered no issues.
Clean, tidy, good WiFi
Cons
Gas stove
The accommodation is decent, but it is quite noisy due to the highway.
Pets are allowed.
Cons
Noise.
An excellent price-quality ratio, a courteous host, deserving of every praise.
Proximity to a beautiful beach.
Cons
One must cross a main road.
An extremely affordable accommodation. Modestly furnished, yet functional. The sandy beach, which is nearby and free from crowds, is easily accessible, while the nearest supermarket is a 15-minute walk away.
Friendly hosts, price, proximity to the beach
Cons
Kitchen amenities, mattresses on the beds
In a tranquil area, the accommodation is excellent, tidy, and clean. The owners are exceptionally kind. It is close to a beach that is large and spacious, without crowds. The center is not far from the accommodation, making it highly recommendable. We plan to book here again next summer. We are extremely satisfied.
Everything was exceptional. The food was also delightful, and the hosts were incredibly courteous.
Here, I truly cannot be objective, as this has been a little paradise for us to relax and enjoy. The accommodation is located about a kilometer and a half from the town, quite peaceful and quiet. It takes three minutes to walk to the nearest beach (and there are many). All in all, a beautiful place, probably like all the others on Thassos. We will be vacationing here next year and for the next 15 years, as such kindness, hospitality, and the positive energy radiating from Halkidiki, along with their tavern serving exquisite food, must not be missed. A special greeting to Cleopatra, who did everything to make us feel at home.
Uncommon hospitality
Cons
Humble, yet you have everything you need. The owners are wonderful, and their food is exceptionally delicious.
They have reasonable prices compared to others.
Cons
An excellent balance of price and quality, even exceeding expectations. The owners are wonderful people. The location is perfect for isolation, free from beach crowds, yet conveniently close to Potos, which is just 2-3 km away. Hygiene is maintained at a high standard. Towels, bedding, and mattresses are exceptionally comfortable. The only drawback is that the accommodation is poorly marked, lacking a larger sign. We would gladly return here... Warm regards from the Jorić family from Obrenovac.
Excellent accommodation, comfortable beds, beautiful view of the sea, clean studios, bed linens and towels are regularly changed, and the owners are kind and accommodating. The only downside is that the kitchen has a gas stove instead of an electric one.
A spacious studio equipped with all the essential amenities. A large bathroom, two terraces perfect for enjoying morning coffee and other moments.
Great location, the beach is very close, about a kilometer away. Numerous beaches and attractions nearby.
Cons
Mosquitoes, but that is not an issue with the accommodation. They are everywhere.
First and foremost, a warm welcome from the owner. The location of the property is excellent, and the quality-to-price ratio is superb. We would gladly return.
Excellent location
Cons
None
We spent ten days in apartment number 1. Everything was as it was presented in the pictures and description. Modest, yet equipped with all the essential amenities. The hosts were kind, unobtrusive, and exceptionally courteous, allowing us to check in before the agreed time since we arrived a few hours early.
Affordable, clean, and friendly hosts.
Cons
None.
Dear Sir/Madam, we are pleased with the accommodation and hope to collaborate again next year.
Good day. We are satisfied and hope to return here again next year.
Cleanliness
Cons
It is a bit noisy due to the main road.
We are extremely satisfied with the accommodation. We have nothing but praise for the hostess Magda. A warm welcome, a farewell gift, truly the very best.
The accommodation is comfortable, though not luxurious, but it is exceptionally close to the beach and provides everything you need for a pleasant vacation. The hosts are extremely friendly and accommodating, and the food is of exceptional quality!
Proximity to the beach, delicious food, comfortable room, friendly hosts!
Cons
Weak internet connection.
An excellent accommodation for a modest price, the rooms are decent and clean, the owners are wonderful people, unobtrusive in the villa, yet always available if you encounter any issues. The atmosphere is completely relaxed, highly recommended, and we will definitely return. Kudos to the agency - the website accurately describes the on-site experience.
Proximity to a large beach that is never crowded, cleanliness of the accommodation, friendliness of the hosts.
Cons
We did not find them.
Sincere recommendations for accommodation for those who do not require great luxury. We were extremely satisfied! We stayed at the accommodation from July 4th to July 14th. There is always hot water, the beach across the street is wonderful, and parking is available... A true delight! The room appeared slightly larger in the pictures, but that did not pose a problem for us. We stayed in room number 5. I hope to see you again in the same place next year!
Proximity to the beach, parking, sea view...
Cons
We couldn’t find them 😔
The staff is friendly, the beach is nearby, the apartments are clean and equipped with everything you need, deserving every praise and recommendation. A beautiful vacation.
There is parking available.
Cons
The yard is somewhat untidy, but we were just passing through it. It's not suitable for families with small children.
The accommodation is modest, but for those who do not seek great comfort, this place is perfect! We are truly very satisfied! For this price, you can rarely find accommodation on Thassos, and the beach right across is beautiful! We give our highest recommendations!
Proximity to the beach, parking, Wi-Fi, hot water, air conditioning...
Cons
We did not find any. 😔
A very clean and comfortable studio, even more than expected... The location and the landlady deserve every praise...
Proximity to a beautiful beach and a good price-quality ratio.
Cons
Nothing particular to highlight.
Extremely satisfied. The hosts are very accommodating. The beach is tranquil, perfect for relaxation.
Proximity to the beach, a restaurant located beneath the accommodation.
Cons
Situated next to the main road.
We had a delightful experience at Halkias Studios, conveniently situated near the expansive, sandy beach that remains uncrowded, close to Limenaria Town. The spacious studio number 8, equipped with four beds, offered a magnificent sea view, a large terrace, a sizable fridge, and a kitchenette. Additionally, there is a traditional restaurant to the right of the hotel, offering reasonable prices and the opportunity to enjoy live Greek music every Sunday. The owners and staff are proficient in English. The area is tranquil, allowing us to fully relish our stay. The owners are exceptionally friendly and accommodating; they greeted us with refreshing cold juices for the children, and upon our departure, we were presented with a charming handmade soap featuring an image of Limenaria port. We wholeheartedly recommend Halkias Studios and will undoubtedly return here with great pleasure!
Everything was wonderful! Excellent price-accommodation ratio.
Cons
-
Regarding accommodation, everything is precisely described on the website. However, concerning meals, it is necessary to adjust the pricing: breakfast - 7 euros; lunch - 10 euros per adult.
The price for a meal that used to be €5 is no longer valid; it is now €7. The food is excellent, but the breakfast for two at €14 is overpriced, considering it includes only two to four eggs, one tomato, and two small toast sandwiches. While lunch is exceptionally tasty, everything is always fresh. They should invest a few euros in the accommodation; the faucets are leaking, the bathroom curtain has blackened at the bottom from mold, and the walls are hollow; you can hear when someone unlocks the door on the second floor... But honestly, for that money, you can't expect miracles... When the tavern is crowded, parking must be sought on the highway around the accommodation. Towel changes and room cleaning occur every three days. Booking accommodation is cheaper through Nikana than directly through the owner, at least according to what we've heard from other guests.
Excellent food and a beach with very few people.
Cons
The nearest shop is 900m away, and it is one of the most expensive on the island, so we went about 3 km further to a slightly larger megastore.
Halkias Studios is a place where we spent eight nights in July 2022, staying in apartment 6, which is designed for two people. The terrace offered a stunning view of the sea. The studio is small, but perfectly adequate for a comfortable stay for two. The kitchen was sufficiently equipped. During our eight-night stay, they changed our linens and towels three times. Parking is available in front of the house. The center of Limenarija is 2 km away, and it took us about ten minutes to walk there. An excellent balance of price and quality, and we will definitely return.
For a modest price, it seems to me that one cannot vacation on Thassos. The Halkias studio serves as a good base for exploring Potos and Limenaria, as well as the nearby beaches. The accommodation is very clean, and the linens are changed every three days. A small complaint would be about the yard, which is quite neglected.
Price and location
Cons
Neglected yard
The accommodation is excellent and affordable. It met all our needs and expectations. The hosts are very kind and courteous. It is located in a great spot, oriented on both sides, with terraces on either side, surrounded by greenery, spacious, just a five-minute walk to the large beach, without crowds, offering a beautiful walk along the coast to the center of Limenaria and back. A parking space is provided. There is an air conditioning unit, but there was no need to turn it on. Relaxation and rest without stress.
A decent accommodation for the price, comfortable beds, always hot water, spacious, with a view of the sea. However, there is a noisy highway nearby. The food is good for those who opt for half board.
Good accommodation and even better food.
Cons
Noisy highway.
I am unsure of what new insights I could provide that have not already been shared by previous guests who stayed at this accommodation, as everything truly is as described. If you are not seeking luxury, this is the perfect place for a getaway and offers everything you genuinely need for a ten-day retreat. The owners are wonderful people, and I have nothing but praise for them. Literally, you can reach out to them for anything you might need, and they will resolve every issue. During our eight-night stay, they changed our linens twice, and every other day they wiped the floors and cleaned the bathroom and terrace. You have your own parking space, and there is a slide and other fun activities for children in the yard. I wholeheartedly recommend this place, and I would gladly return here.
The best accommodation in a tranquil location, everything is beautiful.
Everything is nearby: beach, shops, peaceful surroundings.
Cons
For two consecutive years, we have spent our summer vacation at Sakis's place. I can only say wonderful things about him and his daughter, who has been managing everything since 2021. The pictures in the presentation are outdated, which may create a misleading impression of the apartments. The villa is located in such a way that you can quickly reach all the beaches, and if you don’t feel like driving somewhere, it’s enough to cross the main road, and the entire beach is yours. On weekends, there is live music at the tavern below the apartments. The tavern operates until 5 AM, so there is no noise or commotion in the evening. When we go back to Thassos, it will definitely be at Sakis's place, as they truly deserve our trust. We also stayed in apartments in Potos and paid double the price for 15 days of vacation compared to Sakis's. The difference lies not in the price or the quality of the apartment's comfort, but in the reputation of the name under which you are vacationing.
The owner was extremely rude, and there was no kindness whatsoever. Specifically, I arrived with my family around 9 PM at the accommodation (there was chaos at the border). The owner was very angry that we arrived so late, and he barely allowed me into the accommodation, wanting to charge me for the apartment again. Only the next day, after talking to people from Nikana, did he calm down, but that was it. In any case, over the course of ten days, the apartment was cleaned only once, the terrace was terrible, the kitchen was inadequate, the dishes were reminiscent of the communist era, the gas did not work, and the beds were metal.
Parking
Cons
Terrace, kitchen, dishes, owner.
We are currently staying at this accommodation; today marks our ninth day, and so far, our bed linens and towels have been changed twice. They even left us a few extra towels. We have nothing but praise for the owner; he is not intrusive yet incredibly kind. We parked under a tree, where the birds have quite 'marked' our car, and before heading to the beach, he washed our vehicle for us. The accommodation was very clean when we arrived, and the refrigerator was new and unused. The bathroom is modest, but everything functions well. My only complaint is that there is no cleaning equipment in the rooms, such as a mop and broom, so we could clean daily ourselves. Those who are bothered by this can simply buy their own. The beach is only a 5-minute walk away; you cross the main road and walk along a path between the surrounding houses. We are very satisfied with the accommodation and have no regrets whatsoever. The food at the tavern is exceptional; all portions are 5 euros for guests, which is amusing, and the food is truly wonderful.
First and foremost, I would like to commend the team at Nikana.gr. The collaboration was excellent, and their kindness was invaluable. Regarding the accommodation, everything was as described. The host was exceptionally pleasant and courteous. The lodging was clean and sufficiently comfortable. My only suggestion for the host would be to install screens on the windows.
The host's kindness, cleanliness, comfort, sea view...
Cons
Lack of window screens.
Everything is ready for renovation, especially the bathroom.
It is close to the sea.
Cons
The main road runs alongside the premises.
I am currently in Limenarija, at the aforementioned accommodation. Everything is just as described. All praises to the hosts, and I am very grateful for their kindness and the pleasant atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend it, and of course, I will always return here.
We are currently staying at Sakis' place in Halkias. As described, it is exactly as stated. There are no lies or deceit in the accommodation description. The owners are good people, and the food in his tavern is excellent and the cheapest in the region. You can't get better for less money. The man even washed our car while he was cleaning the yard. There is always hot water for showering, and peace and quiet are guaranteed. Parking is secured and always available, which is very important for Limenaria. The gas station is 10 meters away, a larger market is 300 meters away, and the beach is just 50 meters away. If we return to Limenaria, we will definitely book again with Sakis.
Dear Sir/Madam, first and foremost, I must emphasize that the host is exceptional, kind, and courteous; I was truly delighted. The tavern below is a perfect choice. The food is excellent, almost extraordinarily good. The accommodation is more modest, in the sense that it is not luxurious, but we were aware of this beforehand. This is our first time using your services, and everything was perfect. It is my first visit to Thassos, and I hope to return again. I am not someone who shares pictures on social media, but I can send them to you for publication. Best regards and I wish you all the best.
Proximity to the beach and the restaurant below
Cons
We have just returned from our vacation in these apartments. A few additional details regarding the description: the appliances in the studios are newer than shown in the photographs, the refrigerators are larger, and the televisions are either flat-screen or smart. It is possible to book lunch instead of dinner, which suited us well since we returned to the apartments due to the heat. Lunch is arranged in advance, with a significant discount for small children, featuring authentic Greek cuisine - pasticio, stuffed peppers, and tomato, as well as the renowned lamb. Otherwise, everything is as described; the studios are quite decent for the price, but I would recommend them primarily for those traveling by car. The hosts are exceptionally kind, providing us with packages of water, water guns for the children, and a magnet with a small towel at the end. All these little gestures mean a lot and reflect the hospitality of the hosts. Everything is clean, with bed linens and towels changed every three days, and there is also soap and dish detergent available.
The advantage of the apartments is their proximity to Tripiti beach.
Cons
The downside is that for every need (bakery, market), you must start the car since walking is quite busy, even though it is not too far.
Everything was excellent; the service was exceptional, and the food was top-notch! Everything was provided for us.
Outstanding price and quality of food.
Cons
None.
Everything was phenomenal. Studio number 8 is very spacious and comfortable. It is even nicer than in the pictures because it has a new refrigerator and a smart TV. As for the host, I can say that we have never met such a cordial, pleasant, and kind person where we stayed. He provides all guests with complimentary bottled drinking water, and you can take a package of bottles whenever you need them. He even washed our car twice. We read all positive reviews about him, but he exceeded our expectations. On Sundays from 1 PM to 4 PM, they have live music in the restaurant outside, which should not be missed. The food is excellent, and the prices are reasonable. The accommodation is clean and highly recommended if you are traveling by car to Thassos.
I wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation and the owner. We stayed in apartment number 1. It is spacious and features two terraces. It has everything one needs for a relaxing holiday.
We are currently staying at the Halkias accommodation in Limenaria. I don't want to elaborate, considering the previous opinions like mine. I just want to confirm that the price-quality ratio is excellent, the owner is very kind and always accommodating to our needs. The food in the restaurant is superb. Right now, we can hardly wait for Saturday when live Greek music will be performed in the restaurant. The apartment is comfortable for four people; we are in apartment number 1. In this accommodation, nothing bothers us at all. All praises and recommendations for the accommodation. As far as we are concerned, it deserves an excellent 5. Of course, a big compliment goes to everyone from Nikana as they offer excellent accommodations. We have been loyal to them for five years and have no plans to change.
Cleanliness, kindness, beautiful location for exploring the island, all appliances work, stunning sea view. We feel at home.
Cons
None
We are completely satisfied. The accommodation is good, tidy, comfortable, and excellent for the price it offers. The owners are phenomenal. They always accommodated us for almost every little thing we asked for, and even for things we didn’t. The relationship with the guests is genuinely more friendly than business-like.
Greetings, I am Željko from Belgrade. I have very pleasant experiences with the Halikas apartment. The hosts are kind, and the apartment is exceptionally clean. The bed linens are changed every five days, and the dishes are also washed. Additionally, there is a tavern for those who wish to dine on the premises, which is a matter of choice, located just 100 meters from the sea. Although the beach is not particularly impressive, you can drive to numerous beautiful beaches on Thassos. I stayed from June 29, 2020, to July 14, 2020, and the prices are quite reasonable. I highly recommend Halkias in Limenaria.
Everything in one place.
Cons
Anyone can find a flaw, but for this price and service, there are no downsides.
Halkias in Limenaria are exceptional hosts, and the apartment is remarkably clean with a comfortable bed. I highly recommend Halkias.
An excellent accommodation in a building that does not look appealing from the outside, but once you step inside, you discover that it is exactly as depicted in the pictures. If all the units in the images appeal to you, you will be satisfied with what you have paid for (as we were). We stayed in studio number 2 and had three terraces on two sides of the house. The terraces are narrow, two of which do not have awnings, while one does. The view from the terraces is not representative, but that is not solely the owner's fault. The owner is polite and well-meaning, and upon departure, he will give you a small gift as a memento (a very nice gesture), and you may reciprocate if you feel inclined. In the accommodation, we found two towels for each bed, a sponge, dishwashing liquid, and liquid soap in the bathroom. This is a rarity in Greece. The bed linens and towels are changed every five days. The location is such that there is no good beach in front of the property, which may suit some and not others. However, from there, you have the option to visit excellent beaches that are not far away, depending on your preferences. In short, a good accommodation with our recommendation, unremarkable from the outside but more than decent on the inside.
Affordable accommodation, clean, well-equipped, comfortable.
Cons
A bit far from Limenaria (about 1 km), no beach nearby.
We are thrilled.
The location for exploring Thassos in both directions is perfect.
Cons
None.
We stayed at the Halkias villa from September 15 to 25. The owner, Sakis, as many have already noted, is exceptionally kind and welcomed us with a smile. The room we reserved for two had a double bed and two bunk beds, offering a beautiful view of the sea from the terrace, as well as a view of the main road where ATVs create significant noise. The apartment was fully equipped with dishes, a sponge, detergent, and the bathroom had liquid soap, toilet paper, towels, and immaculate bed linens, which were changed every fifth day. On Sundays, we enjoyed live music in the tavern in the courtyard. Finally, before our departure, the host presented us with a small token of appreciation – a souvenir.
Cleanliness, affordable price, friendly host
Cons
Noise from the main road
On September 17th, we returned after a 14-day stay in this studio. First, I would like to commend Nikana for the arrangements and reservations, which went smoothly, and especially a charming blonde girl (unfortunately, we do not know her name) who was at the agency in Potos during our stay and was very helpful with some urgent questions about life on the island. We would like to thank her again. Now, regarding the studio and location, we stayed in a four-bed room even though we had booked a triple room, thanks to the kindness of the owner and, of course, because it was available. The building itself is older but in excellent condition, while the interior exudes a true homely atmosphere, which it indeed is. The room was huge with a nicely furnished kitchen (sufficient cookware) and, importantly for us, an excellent gas stove and a large refrigerator. The furniture may be older, but it is functional; there are two terraces, one smaller overlooking the courtyard and one larger facing the beach. Everything is tidy and clean. We did not notice any mosquitoes, and there were only a few wasps. Some might complain about the noise from the main road, but it did not bother us, and after midnight, it is hardly noticeable, if it is present at all. The beach in front of the studio has a bar and sunbeds, but it is not the best for our taste. This might be the biggest drawback of this studio, which is the lack of personal transportation. If you have your own car, the entire island is at your fingertips, and for a very affordable accommodation, you can have a wonderful vacation. If you are without a vehicle, it can be a minor issue, as the beach is on one side and the center of Limenarija is on the opposite side, about 1.4 and 1.2 km away via the main road, which is a bit inconvenient, especially with children. The owners are kind and unobtrusive, and the studio has its own tavern where you can arrange for lunch, and every Sunday from 1 PM, you can enjoy live Greek tavern music.
affordable accommodation, friendly hosts
Cons
we did not find them
It is worth mentioning that the Halkias studio does not have access to the courtyard of the vehicles, due to the tavern terrace occupying the entire courtyard. The parking is located in front of the studio gate, on a large expansion next to the main road, but it is wide enough, safe, and well-lit at night. During our farewell, the owner Sakis shared a small symbolic gift, a towel with cream named Limenarija, as a keepsake, and we presented him with a bottle of wine from our region.
We spent six nights at the Halkias studio from September 2 to 8, 2019. We were accommodated in a small studio number 6, which boasts an excellent view of the sea, which was our top priority. Given that it is a small studio, it features a fully equipped kitchen, ideally positioned and very practical. The hygiene was satisfactory, the bed was comfortable, and the linens and towels were exceptionally clean. The owner is unobtrusive and completely laid-back. We only saw him in the morning when he went shopping, and since we spent our days at the beaches until late in the evening and returned to nearby places, we came back quite late at night, so everything was neatly locked (both the tavern and the building). The tavern operates during the day and has no guests in the evening, ensuring a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Additionally, the main road is not busy at night, so even though our studio faces it, we enjoyed absolute tranquility for sleeping and resting. For the price we paid, we are more than satisfied with both the hygiene and the location of the villa, which is about 1.5 km from the strict center of Limenaria. About 1 km from the villa, there is a large and well-stocked market, as well as bakeries, so it takes about 40 minutes of leisurely walking to get there and back. The beach across from the Halkias studio is a ten-minute walk away via a shortcut across the main road. It is usable and located near the Plasir hotel and a small beach bar, where you can enjoy a drink on their terrace right by the beach. The location of the Halkias studio is perfect for exploring the beaches on the western and southern sides of the island, as well as visiting the ethnos village of Teologos. All in all, we would be very eager to return to the Halkias studio.
An excellent accommodation for the price; you won't find a better price-to-service ratio. The host is a kind man who runs his tavern on the ground floor. Any agreement regarding fish preparation is possible with him; just let him know a day in advance what you would like, and he will prepare it perfectly and deliciously. All praise!
Price and the host's friendliness.
Cons
A bit far from the center, and the terraces are narrow, overlooking the backyard.
The accommodation is excellent, everything is clean, and the host is very kind and hospitable.
The accommodation was excellent, the host was kind and always available... I highly recommend it!
We stayed from August 12 to 20, 2019. The hygiene is truly at a high level, the location is excellent with good parking. The owner is exceptionally accommodating and ready to assist. Highly recommended for this accommodation.
Excellent location, great food at the tavern.
Cons
There are no drawbacks for this price.
The apartment was quite spacious for a family of four. All the appliances we had at our disposal were in working order, and the cleanliness was satisfactory. We had the best landlord since we have been vacationing in Greece for about 25 years.
Parking in front of the villa and less noise since we were outside the city.
Cons
Small and narrow beds, hard mattresses.
Apartment number 4 features two narrow terraces and does not overlook the sea, yet it is spacious. It includes a double bed and bunk beds.
We spent 13 days in the apartment. Sakis is a very pleasant host; upon our arrival, he welcomed us with a package of water and wished us a pleasant stay. During our 13 days, the bed linens were changed twice, and the apartment was very clean. We had both mosquito tablets and a lamp, and fortunately, there were no mosquitoes. Our apartment had a spacious terrace with a view of the sea, and although the highway was on that side, it was quiet and peaceful for sleeping in the evenings. Besides towels, we had liquid soap in the bathroom, and the kitchen was fully equipped, even with dish detergent and a new sponge. From the apartment, you can easily reach all the beaches, and when you arrive, there’s a beach nearby for your first day, so you don’t have to rush around. In front of the apartment, there is parking, and you can always wash your car when you return from the beach. Upon leaving, the host gave us a gift, something that hasn’t happened to us in the last 20 years of vacationing in Greece. All praise for the villa, and also for Nikana; every vacation through them has been fantastic.
Ideal location for visiting all the beaches, hospitable host, nice and clean apartment.
Cons
None.
An excellent accommodation, friendly hosts, cleanliness at a high level, change of bedding and towels every 5 days, the air is phenomenal, and sleeping in the evening is a true delight; we did not use the air conditioning for all 18 days. The beaches are perfect, and I highly recommend exploring the island. Everything was absolutely perfect; thank you, Nikana, and the wonderful hosts❤️
Distance from the center, no noise
Cons
None
We arrived on July 15th in Limenariu, specifically around 5 PM. The owner greeted us in front of the tavern and handed us the key. Sakis is generally an unassuming man, yet always ready to assist. He was accommodating to all our needs. He even provided us with an extension cord. There are no mosquito nets in the rooms, but we found a mosquito repellent device along with several tablets. We stayed in studio number 1 from July 15th to 29th. The studio is spacious and features two fantastic terraces with exceptional views of the sea from both. The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials. The internet functioned adequately. They changed the linens and towels every 5 days. We were truly satisfied.
Comfortable, a good base for exploring the island, affordable.
Cons
Only mosquito nets.
We are staying in studio number 1, which features two terraces, both offering a splendid view of the sea. The studio is comfortable and equipped with everything necessary for a pleasant stay. The kitchen is adequately furnished, though it lacks mosquito nets. The host is a kind and accommodating man, always available if anything is needed. We are exceedingly satisfied. The house is ideally situated for exploring the nearby beaches.
We are extremely satisfied. The hosts are unobtrusive yet always available for any situation. Katarina is wonderful, kind, and speaks English. The accommodation is ideal for those arriving by car, as there is a large private parking area in front of the property. Our studio number 6 offers an outstanding view of the sea. The only thing to consider is to arm yourself with mosquito protection, as there are no protective screens. However, this issue is prevalent almost everywhere on the island.
Excellent location, good price, easily accessible beach, cleanliness, and a good restaurant for lunch on the premises.
Cons
We did not find any flaws. The location may pose a challenge for guests without their own transportation, as reaching Limenarija and the market requires walking along a busy highway.
An excellent accommodation. We still cannot understand how it is so affordable compared to similar options, yet it is truly outstanding. We spent 17 days there and saw most of the studios; the best ones are number 8 and 1. In these, the refrigerator has been replaced with a large one that includes a freezer, which is not commonly found in Greece. Studio 8 also features a smart TV, if that matters to anyone. They are spacious, and I would definitely recommend number 8, as it is the most spacious, and the terrace offers privacy—there are no "neighbors". It is separated from Limenaria, providing a peaceful atmosphere. We will certainly be happy to return as guests of this villa.
A very decent accommodation. The staff is pleasant and accommodating. It is certain that we will return.
We stayed on Thassos, arranged through another agency, from August 31 to September 9. Shortly after our arrival, we realized that this was far too little time for exploring and discovering the beauty of the island, so we turned to Nikana to find us accommodation for another seven days. Of the three offered properties, we chose the Halkias studios, based on the reviews from its guests that we read on this site. At first glance, the courtyard appears neglected; the overgrown weeds at the boundary of Halkias and neighboring properties give the impression that you have stumbled into a small jungle. However, as soon as you sit down at a table in the tavern (Halkias tavern is on the ground floor, the studios are upstairs), you understand that this greenery provides you with a pleasant freshness. The building housing the studios is older, but everything in it functions well. The two of us were accommodated in studio no. 4, a spacious room with a double bed and a bunk bed, a bathroom, a kitchenette, and two terraces. Since it was the end of the season, there was no crowd, so Sakis and Cleopatra kindly offered us a four-bed studio. Unlike other accommodations, here we had liquid soap, a sponge, and dishwashing liquid, as well as an electric mosquito repellent. We also had enough outlets for a computer, mobile phones, a camera battery charger, and electronic cigarettes. The only issue we faced on the first night was with the pillows: they were very low and thin, almost nonexistent. The next day, the landlady brought us additional pillows (of the same dimensions, as there were no others), so we solved the problem by packing two pillows into one pillowcase. The owners are accommodating and unobtrusive, but they will gladly answer any questions you have about the beaches, local gastronomic specialties, the island's history, archaeological sites...
Friendly owners and location (slightly away from the city's noise and crowds, without the stress of finding a parking spot)
Cons
If you're there without a car, you're "condemned" to three nearby, almost identical beaches.
A heartfelt recommendation for a spacious four-person studio featuring two large terraces. The owner and his wife are very warm-hearted individuals, always ready to assist with anything you may need. Although the building itself is older, everything is functional. There are two excellent beaches located 500 meters and one kilometer from the studio.
Everything was excellent; the hostess was kind, the room was clean, and the price was reasonable. Thank you, Nikana, for an unforgettable retreat.
An excellent accommodation if you are arriving in Thassos by car. The hosts are unobtrusive, and the hygiene is impeccable. All praises and recommendations!
I wholeheartedly recommend Halkias Studios. The accommodation is beautiful, comfortable, and clean; you will receive everything you need without any hassle. The owner is a wonderful man, accommodating and warm-hearted. The food at the restaurant is top-notch, with generous portions at reasonable prices. Right across from the accommodation, there is a beach that we found excellent. Not far from there is the center of Limenaria, which you can reach by car or on foot. We are absolutely thrilled with the accommodation and give our highest recommendations! It may not be luxurious, but it is quite decent.
The hosts are phenomenal, the place is clean and well-organized, everything is as we agreed. The location is great, I would go again!
Price, location, the host is very kind
Cons
None
The beach is wonderful. The rooms are just like in the pictures, even better. Everything was perfect. Thank you, Nikana, for your efforts.
A very affordable accommodation, equipped with everything necessary for a holiday. Clean and tidy. Close to Tripiti beach, and relatively near the center of Limenaria. It provides everything needed for an excellent vacation. The hosts are kind and unobtrusive.
Friendly hosts, parking, terraces, clean and tidy, proximity to the beach
Cons
No pedestrian path, it is dangerous to walk along the main road
The accommodation is excellent. While it lacks luxury, it has everything necessary for a delightful holiday. The decor is vintage, yet it is very clean and well-maintained. The location is superb, close to Tripiti beach and the center of Limenarie. The prices are very reasonable compared to others, and the accommodation offers more than enough for a wonderful vacation. Thank you, Nikani, for a fantastic holiday. We look forward to seeing you next year.
Location, price
Cons
No mosquito nets
Halkias studio is situated in an excellent location for exploring the island by car. The owner is very kind and accommodating, and the price is great. Everything was beautiful.
Excellent location
Cons
The accommodation is good. While it may appear somewhat uninviting from the outside, the interior is truly solid and clean. The owners are exceptionally fair and kind. Everything mentioned in the offer is genuinely honored. The advantages include its secluded and tranquil location, as well as the favorable price-to-quality ratio of the accommodation. The drawbacks are the distance from Limenaria, which is about 1.5 km, and due to the main road and the absence of a pedestrian path, walking to the settlement can be unsafe. We express our gratitude to Nikani.gr for their integrity, and in any case, we look forward to continuing our collaboration in the coming years. Warm regards!
Secluded and peaceful. Favorable price-to-quality ratio of the accommodation.
Cons
Distance from Limenaria is about 1.5 km, and due to the main road and the absence of a pedestrian path, walking to the settlement can be unsafe.
We booked 5 nights at Halkias accommodation through Nikana, as that was all that was available. The accommodation is solid, definitely the cheapest during that period (late July). The hosts are unobtrusive and are willing to assist if you need anything. There are too many mosquitoes and wasps, which is generally a downside for all of Thassos. The accommodation is located in front of Limenarija, and the nearest store is about 600-700 meters away. I do not recommend this accommodation without a car. The closest beach is about a hundred meters away and can be visited in a few days.
The four-person studio is spacious but in need of renovation, particularly the bathroom (we stayed for 7 days in studio 8). The three-person studio (with bunk beds) was quite decent (we stayed for 3 days in studio 5). Cleanliness was satisfactory, with good Wi-Fi on the upper floor and decent Wi-Fi on the ground floor. Cleaning and maintenance occur every 5 days. The hosts are unobtrusive and relaxed. The noise from the main road isn't too alarming. The beach below the studio is great for sunbathing and afternoon relaxation. All in all, it's impossible to find better value for the money. At least that's my experience, and I will begin my detailed search for price/quality along the Halkidiki/Tasos route starting this November for next year. Thanks to Nikana and the Halkias family :) We are very satisfied.
terraces, tranquility, location
Cons
bathroom in studio 8, mosquitoes (which no one can control)
The accommodation is satisfactory, the owners are friendly, and the location is perfect for sightseeing. Overall, we are pleased; for the price, it is quite reasonable.
We spent 12 days at the Halkias studio and we are completely satisfied with both the accommodation and the living conditions. The hosts are exceptionally pleasant and hospitable, which greatly contributes to a relaxed atmosphere during the vacation. This was our first time vacationing in Thassos, and our impressions are very positive regarding both the accommodation and the island itself, along with its numerous beaches, although we couldn’t visit them all. All in all, it was worth seeing Thassos and spending our holiday there. A warm recommendation for anyone planning a vacation in Thassos, and all praise to the agency Nikana, which made an effort to inform us thoroughly and kindly about everything!
The accommodation is entirely satisfactory, and the host is exceptionally kind. It is situated in a beautiful location relative to the beaches and Limenaria. I would also like to mention that the studio, as well as the entire property, is remarkably clean and offers a lovely view of the sea.
Great location
Cons
Proximity to the main road
Regarding the accommodation, it is quite decent. The building appears uninviting from the street, however, the interior is clean, the furniture is perfectly fine, and the studios are equipped with air conditioning, mosquito nets, and even mosquito repellents! We were welcomed with coffee and a welcome drink, and upon returning from our walk, we found a package of water, liquid soap, and toilet paper waiting for us in the apartment. Considering we stayed from September 9th to September 19th, and were affected by wildfires, the owner of the villa offered us an additional 7 days free of charge due to the cancellation of guests who did not arrive out of fear of the fires. That was something that left us speechless! Therefore, all praises to the hosts, who were polite, unobtrusive, and hospitable. We did not stay the extra 7 days, but we would certainly return to their accommodation.
The studio is satisfactory, located just before the center of Limenaria (about a 10-minute walk). The owner was constantly present at the villa. The room is clean and contains all the necessary amenities, as well as parking in front of the villa. Most guests are Serbian. There is also a tavern within the villa, but it was closed as we were at the end of the season.
The rooms and hallways are clean, bed linens and towels are indeed changed every 5 days, and air conditioning is included in the price. In the evening, decorative candles are lit in the courtyard and on the stairs. The hosts are friendly, and there is a tavern on the ground floor where you can arrange for delivery or dinner. It is not very crowded, so there is no music or noisy guests. Parking is right next to the main road, which is convenient if you are visiting other beaches. Although the main road is nearby, noisy vehicles rarely pass by, and you are sheltered by the courtyard. We stayed on the ground floor, so we did not have a sea view. The location is at the entrance to Limenaria, and the city center is about a 20-minute walk (5 minutes by car, inconvenient for parking). The nearest beach is a 5-minute walk (a hundred meters across the main road and then through a path). There are two gas stations (without LPG) and a car wash (which you need if you are visiting some beaches) within a 1 km radius, and there is also a bus station nearby if you wish to explore the island. Wi-Fi is password-protected (you do not have to log in if you do not want to, but you have that option), and it works slower in the evening when everyone returns to the villa.
Affordable, decent, friendly hostess, proximity to the beach, parking, terrace, necessary furnishings, TV, Wi-Fi
Cons
Proximity to the store (about 10 minutes, 1 km), mosquitoes
Wonderful, kind hosts. The accommodation is excellent, the bed is comfortable, the kitchenette is functional, the bathroom is modern, and the terrace offers a beautiful view of the sea! Everything is clean and tidy; nothing more is needed. The beach is just across the street! If you are traveling by car, there are several beaches nearby to choose from and switch every day.
Proximity to the beach, cleanliness, affordable price, beautiful view, parking, and fantastic hosts!
Cons
A highly recommendable establishment, with all praises for the staff and the owner! A great location for exploring the nearby beaches.
Proximity to the sea, beautiful view, cleanliness...
Cons
We are exceedingly pleased with the accommodation. The staff is wonderful and courteous.
Peace, tranquility, and a view of the sea.
Cons
During the period from July 28 to August 11, 2013, I traveled with my wife and two children, aged 13 and 11. The studio is spacious, featuring two long but narrow terraces. The furniture is solid and quite well-maintained. The refrigerator is small. Due to its location, it is suitable only for those arriving by car. The air conditioning is included in the price.
Beautiful location. The main road is not too noisy.
Cons
MOSQUITOES. Unkempt yard.
First, I would like to express my gratitude to Magda, Atanasios, and of course Ceci for the wonderful 15 days they made largely unforgettable. I also owe a great deal of thanks to the Nikana agency, without which this vacation would not have been possible. Thank you very much. What more can I say when everything has essentially been said? I was with my wife and son in the second half of July. This location suits me exceptionally well, and my personal opinion is that the Limenarijska beach from the Grand Beach Hotel towards the town is unremarkable, but extremely usable. The quality of the water is excellent, there are no crowds (which is a remarkable advantage)... I do not write this lightly, as I have come to know Tasos well over my 5-6 years of vacationing. Of course, other beaches are fantastic, but there is a prevailing opinion that Limenarijska is almost unusable. As for the Halkias property itself, all praise. Cleanliness is at a good level, with peace and quiet. All the conditions for a pleasant and tranquil vacation are met. The view is excellent (which is very important to me). I will not waste words on the hospitality of the hosts. They are exceptional people. The main road did not bother me. It probably also influenced the place where I usually live (across from the bus station), so this highway felt like a vacation to me. So, for those interested, there are already enough descriptions and photos to create an image of the place where they will vacation. I have always avoided repeating vacations in the same villa, as I believe one should visit as many places as possible, but I can say that in the future I wish to be a guest of the Halkias family again.
- Exceptional hospitality of the hosts.- The view.- Two terraces in the studio.- Size of the studio.- Proximity to the sea.- Parking.
Cons
For that price, it's hard to find flaws. If it must be mentioned, there could be mosquito nets.
I spent time with friends and my girlfriend. It is about a ten-minute walk from the center of Limenarija, whether by road or along the beach, or just a minute by car! The hygiene is satisfactory, the accommodation is decent, and the view from the terrace is stunning. The only issue is that it is right next to the main road, so the first morning vehicles will likely wake you up until you get used to it after a couple of days... The beach is just 100 meters across the street, and you can enjoy a morning dip... just cross the street... but that beach is nothing special, it is characterless, huge, and long... suitable for barbecuing and drinks late into the night... Just a kilometer or two away is the beautiful Tripity beach. When you head towards Limenarija, you will come across a modest restaurant, recognizable by its lantern lights and dried octopus tentacles hanging, waiting for you to devour them... make sure to try the dried octopus... it’s fantastic! Otherwise, Limenarija is perfect for those planning to explore the island! The nightlife is best in Potos, which is 5-6 km away, and if you want a relaxed evening, Limenarija is the place to be! Somewhere halfway from Limenarija to Potos, on a cliff and a sharp bend, there is a food truck that doesn’t operate during the day but is open at night... here you can enjoy the best and cheapest gyros, in my opinion, on Tasos, with a stunning view of the sea from the cliff at dusk...
Affordable, decent, parking, stunning view of the sea, beach just 100m away.
Cons
Right next to the main road, so it may take a few days to get used to the first morning cars :)
In August 2011, my wife and I, through our dear friend Ana Nikolić, booked accommodation at the Halkias studio in Limenaria (Thassos). We were looking for an affordable place to stay: to be clear, our ideal vacation involves a tent in a pine forest, by the shore, with as few people as possible. The accommodation was more than decent. The staff of the studio - Mr. Sakis, his wife Marta, and Ceca - a Bulgarian responsible for cleanliness - were more than kind and unobtrusive. We were sent off with a liter of homemade white wine. The Halkias studio, a three-story house, is a typical provincial Greek "hotel," separated from the sea by the main road of Thassos. And between the road and the sea, there is a junkyard. Therefore, we have: in the foreground the Halkias Studio, in the second - the main road, in the third the junkyard, and in the fourth the sea. The beach in front of the studio is a long sandy beach, just a three-minute walk away. Within a 1000 m radius, there are a car wash, two gas stations, and a shop that is open until 10 PM - it seems to me that it has everything we need. Limenaria is a five-minute drive to the east. On the other side of the studio (to the west towards Skala Marion), also about 1000 m away, is the well-known store Iris. And of course, there are many beaches and coves.
The apartment we stayed in was tidy, clean, and equipped with all the necessary amenities; air conditioning, a terrace (we had two), and a TV. A large yard with a tavern. And finally, the incredibly hospitable hosts.
Cons
The main road that runs right next to the Halkias Studio. The presence of mosquitoes - which is not a problem of the Halkias Studio, but rather a reality that comes with the green island of Thassos.

Jedno od najlepših letovanja. Domaćini preljubazni. Hrana u njihovoj taverni kvalitetna i ukusna. Plaza prostrana sa sitnim peskom i blizu. Voda cista. Sobe uredne ali su male. Posteljinu menjaju na 3 dana. Peškire na 5 dana. Sa gazdom smo se toliko sprijateljili da nam sve bilo žao što odlazimo od njega a ne što je letovanje završeno:). Odavno nisam upoznala tako interesantnu osobu. WiFi dobar.
Mirjana16.9.2024 08:19:55
Jedno od najlepših letovanja. Za preporuku. Domaćini preljubazni. Hrana ukusna. Plaza blizu, velika, široka, voda cista. Sobe su uredne. Manje su. Posteljina nam menjana na 3 dana. Peškiri na 5 dana. Toliko smo se sprijateljili sa gazdom da nam sve bilo žao što odlazimo od njega a ne što je letovanje gotovo :).

Домаћини су предивни људи. Сусретљиви за све што треба. Храна у њиховој таверни је одлична. Локација је идеална тачка са које се може обилазити острво на лак и једноставан начин. У близини је више занимљивих плажа. Дивно место за одмор. Браво
Djordje17.8.2024 20:59:38
Odusevljeni smestajem, iako na prvi pogled ne izgleda tako, na kraju shvatite da ste dosli kod bake na selo i zapravo je to najbolji osecaj kako smo se osecali kod Marte i Sakisa. Prijatni ljudi, tu su za sve, i svaka preporuka!
Damjan10.8.2024 09:34:29
Povoljan smeštaj. Ukoliko niste zahtevni, biće vam lepo jer ste na vrlo lepom ostrvu i nećete vreme provoditi u smeštaju već na prelepim plažama. Svakako moram naglasiti da je potrebno renoviranje i više ulaganja kako u smeštajne jedinice u enterijer tako i u eksterijer.
Milica 3.8.2024 10:28:08
Cist uredan smestaj, apartman br.5 ima dve terase. Domacini ljubazni, nikakvih problema nismo imali.
