Giola lagoon is the next stop on our Thassos sight seeing tour and this gorgeous national swimming spot is a popular place.
Get there early or you will have to fight with scores of Instagrammers!
This beautiful multi coloured pool is fed by the ocean and waves often crash over into the water, swishing away the swimmers.
The lagoon is also known as “Aphrodite’s Tear” in Thassos and is considered one of the world’s most beautiful natural swimming pools
According to Greek mythology, Giola was created by Zeus as a lagoon for his wife Aphrodite to bathe in.
The water is constantly changing from navy to turquoise, royal blue to aquamarine. A stunning kaleidoscope of watery hues.
