Panagia (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Παναγία) is a village on the island of Thasos in northern Greece.[1] The village is located in the northwest of the island, east of the massif of Mount Ipsarion (1204m (3,950feet)) at an elevation of 300m (1,000feet). 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.[2] 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.[3]
