A Greek island get-away

Those seeking a true Greek island get-away can still find in Thassos traditional tavernas, interesting archaeological sites, picturesque villages and beautiful sandy beaches washed by crystal clear water.

Originally, Thassos was one of the richest Greek Islands, home to ancient Thracians and later colonised by Phoenicians, who were drawn by the wonderful climate, rich pine woods and white marble. Periods of Greek and Roman rule followed, and all left their legacy in the form of the archaeological sites which provide plenty of interesting excursions.

Limenas, the capital and the main port of the island, offers a quaint old harbour and some traditional tavernas. Within easy reach of Limenas are the lovely little villages of Panagia and Potamia, overlooking the sandy Golden Beach and the long, inviting crescent of Skala Potamias. A little further away is the quieter village of Kinira with its pebbled beach, and the pinewood-ringed Paradise Beach, frequented by nudists. On the south coast, at Aliki, lies a peninsula forming two magnificent bays, also site of ancient marble quarries.
