EXPERIENCE
The beauty of Thassos island
Thassos island is the most northerly of all the Greek islands and can be found in the Aegean Sea nestled between the Halkidiki Peninsular and Kavala. Conveniently, it is only 6 kilometres away from the nearest port on the mainland. Along with its stunning natural beauty this is one of the reasons for Thassos’s popularity: no lengthy ferry boat journeys.
Limenaria on the south side of the island of Thassos is a quiet haven for travelers. The Limenaria beach stretches for about three kilometers from the harbor with its colorful fishing boats and the impressive Palataki building up Tripiti on the western end.
ACTIVITIES
Stunning Beaches
Thassos is littered with dozens of amazing beaches and hidden coves all over the island, renowned for their crystal clear waters. Every visitor will find a beach of his liking to relax & enjoy, whether it is a sandy or a pebble one.
The beauty of the island is undisputed and is considered one of the most diverse and beautiful islands on the Aegean sea.
Trekking & Cycling
Take advantage of Thassos’s old footpaths which link the traditional villages and discover the interior of the island which remains almost completely undiscovered.
Cycling is a unique way to explore the hidden and unspoiled parts of the Thassian countryside. Many biking tours are organized throughout the island.
Sailing
In a place famed since ancient times for the maritime skills of its inhabitants, you can find several places to either rent a sailing boat or book a boat tour and a multitude of good moorings in the vicinity of the coast.
If you charter your own boat you don’t have to confine yourself just to Thassos, you could take a trip across to the Athos peninsular of Halkidiki which is the ancient home of several Orthodox monasteries or visit the nearby islands of Limnos and Samothraki.
History & Culture
There are various archeological & cultural sites throughout Thassos island but we recommend a visit to the archaeological museum. The museum is considered one of the most important museums of the area, it exhibits collections of archeological finds from the 7th century BC to the 7th century AD.
Important findings from the Paleolithic to the Roman era paint a vivid picture of one of the most important Aegean civilizations.
