点评:We chose Thassos based on a glowing recommendation from friends, and while our hotel is fantastic, Golden Beach was a massive disappointment. Our friends remembered a pristine, wide stretch of golden sand and beautiful waters, but that version of the beach is long gone. Today, the area is heavily overdeveloped with apartments and eateries, and it looks like the construction rubble and trash were simply dumped right onto the sand.
What little beach remains is packed tight with hundreds of rental sunbeds. The tiny, open patches are crammed with people trying to avoid the rental fees, making it feel overcrowded even in early June—well before the peak European school holidays when locals say the area gets absolutely overwhelmed. To make matters worse, one end of the beach is now dominated by tacky souvenir shops, loud arcade games, and noisy rental quad bikes. Ultimately, it was incredibly difficult to find any of the authentic Greek culture we were looking forward to. It’s a real shame to see another once-beautiful destination ruined by unchecked tourism and greed.
翻译:我们是根据朋友们的极力推荐才选择萨索斯岛的,虽然我们的酒店很棒,但黄金海滩却让我们大失所望。朋友们记忆中的黄金海滩是一片原始的、宽阔的金色沙滩和碧蓝的海水,但那番景象早已不复存在。如今,这里到处都是公寓和餐馆,建筑垃圾和杂物仿佛直接倾倒在沙滩上。
仅存的一小部分海滩上挤满了数百张出租的沙滩椅。即使是六月初,也挤满了试图避开租金的人们,显得拥挤不堪——而此时距离欧洲学校假期高峰期还有很长一段时间,当地人说,假期期间这里会更加人满为患。更糟糕的是,海滩的一端现在充斥着俗气的纪念品商店、嘈杂的街机游戏和喧闹的出租四轮摩托车。最终,我们几乎找不到任何我们期待的、地道的希腊文化。看到又一个曾经美丽的旅游胜地因无节制的旅游业和贪婪而毁于一旦,真是令人惋惜。
