Holidays to Thassos

Thassos holidays

Known as the Emerald Island, Thassos is a refreshing combination of pine, chestnut and olive, mountain villages and golden beaches.

Thassos is an island to explore and this is made easy by its 100 km circular coastal road, either by hire car or the very good bus service. The green mountain scenery (highest peak 1200m) is beautiful, as are a string of splendid sandy beaches backed by pines, best in the south.

The island's preserved hill villages possess oodles of Greek charm - one of the best is Kazaviti, only a few kilometres inland from our hotel.

History, too, is evident, especially in and around the capital Limenas, which was built on the remains of the prosperous ancient city. Its agora and Classical theatre are the best-known sites. Due to the good ferry links it isalso possible to nip over to the mainland for the day and visit Philippi, just to the north of Kavala.
