Panagia (Greek: Παναγία) is a village on the island of Thasos in northern Greece.[2] The village is located in the northwest of the island, east of the massif of Mount Ipsarion (1,204 m (3,950 ft)) at an elevation of 1,108 m (3,635 ft). The village is a popular tourist spot due to its proximity to Potamia and the coastal resort of Skala Potamia and Skala Panagia, referred to in English as Golden Beach.[3] Tourist sights include traditional Greek village buildings and water fountains from the freshwater stream with its source at Mount Ipsarion which run through the village.[4]
