Thasos, Best of beaches & Sites: Greece | An Exotic island - Guide
THASOS: THE EMERALD ISLAND IN THE NORTHERN AEGEAN
A verdant splash upon an expanse of azure: intensely traditional, Thasos will enthrall you. Thasos, island of the Sirens, offers you as many options as there are colours in the blues of the sea and sky, the greens of the trees and the golden hues of the sandy beaches. This island in the North Aegean is one of the best options for your summer holiday in Greece, thanks to its beautiful beaches and traditional allure. You will enjoy your stay in the excellent hotels, sample local delicacies in the villages, hike the trails and seek out the island’s secrets. If you are a nature lover, into water sports or just want to taste the good life, Thasos is your ideal emerald escape.
What to do on Thasos
An island for nature lovers
On Thasos, you will find yourself engulfed in a sea of green, which comes in many shades and moods. Take the tree-lined roads from the beaches to the ravines, lakes, cascades and footpaths around the villages. Rewarding trails like Maries-Prinos, Panagia-Potamia-Ypsario, Kallirahi-Prinos or Hrisi Ammoudia-Limenas can be enjoyed on foot or by mountain bike. For lovers of outdoor sports, Thasos is the ideal summer destination for an adventure-filled holiday.
Arrival at Limenas
This is Thasos’ link to the mainland and its capital since antiquity. Be sure to see the ancient agora; the sanctuaries of Herakles, Dionysos, Artemis and Poseidon; the Acropolis with its incredible view and the 5th century BC theatre – all testament to the island’s long history. To get back to today’s world, walk through the central market and its dozens of shops as well as the small harbour on the beach. At night you’ll have fun choosing your favourite from among dozens of restaurants and bars.
Palataki at Limenaria
Palataki (little palace) is a two-storey rectangular building with a pair of towers, a typical example of eclecticism. Built in the early 1900s to provide office space for Speidel, the German company that was in charge of the island’s mines, it’s considered the most impressive of the administrative buildings in the Aegean and it’s surrounded by one of the most important industrial monuments in the Mediterranean, namely the mine itself. Thasos has been a centre of mining operations since antiquity with rich deposits of mercury, lead, iron, manganese and white marble.
Paradise on Earth
It’s all in the name! The exotic beach that goes by the moniker Paradise is considered one of the finest in the Aegean.
The beaches of Thasos
You will probably run out of stamina before Thasos runs out of beaches: Chrysi Akti, Chrysi Ammoudia, Agios Antonios, Alykes, Trypiti, Skala Potamia, Paralia Limena, Pefkari, Skala Rahoiou, Gkiola, Saliara or Marble beach, as the enamoured foreign tourists call it, all combine the azure of the sea, pale or golden sand and enchantingly verdant backdrops. Topping it off are the tavernas, beach bars and water sports available at some of the most popular beaches.
Activities
Thasos has it all; scuba diving and instructors at Pefkari, water skiing at Chrysi Ammoudia, Pefkari and Psili Ammos, windsurfing at Paradise and boat rides to the most isolated beaches from all over. Fun and games in the sea and wind on the island of your dreams.
High-end hospitality
No matter your budget, Thasos will more than satisfy you. Whether you opt for one of the five-star hotels and villas, or just a room or furnished apartment, everything is here for you, from swimming pools and poolside bars with a view of the sea in a well-tended garden, to water massages and high class restaurants..
Thassos is the northernmost Greek island, and 12th largest by area. Thassos island is known from ancient times for its termae making it a climatic and balneoclimateric resort area. Thasos' economy relies on timber (it is rich in forests), marble quarries, olive oil and honey. Tourism has also become important since the 1960s, although not to the level of other Greek islands. Thasos, the capital, is now informally known as Limenas, or the port. It is served by a ferry route to and from Keramoti a port close to Kavala International Airport, and has the shortest possible crossing to the island. Scala Prinos 20 km south of Thassos town is served by a ferry route to and from Kavala.

Archaeological Site of Alykis
The peninsula of Alykis is on the southeastern side of Thassos in a distance of 32 km from the Port.
On both sides of the peninsula two natural creeks are formed that from ancient times used as ports.
At the tip of the peninsula lies the ancient marble quarry which operated throughout antiquity until the Byzantine period.
The ongoing activity resulted to a large part of the peninsula, almost up to the surface of the sea, to be changed and when the level of the sea goes down, the salt remains on the walls.
These natural salt marsh gave their name to Alykis area, place name, certified by the late Byzantine era.
Traces of human inhabitation on the peninsula already traced back to the 7th century BC in sanctuary cave in the eastern bay, where it is believed that in this position was either an ancient temple dedicated to Apollo or the Dioscuri, the ruins of which lie on the beach of the eastern bay.
Moreover, archaeological interest is the ancient settlement where identified the ruins of two early Christian basilicas of the 5th century. A.D. and constituted guest space of the pilgrims where were arriving there until the early years of Christianity.
Alykes dropped abruptly, probably due to a large earthquake.
Today Alyki has declared an archaeological site and a sample of natural beauty and archaeological interest.

Aliki Beach, Thassos 2017
This video is about Aliki Beach There are two gulfs in Aliki with beaches of pebbles, sand and crystal waters. Its gulfs are used as well as natural harbours from small fishing boats. The beach in the western side is a resort and organized with lots of taverns . The eastern beach is more quiet and not so busy. Next to the beaches there is a peninsula of archaeological interest, ideal for hiking.
It is said that during the antiquity, it was the kingdom of Alyki with large population and a big port. The ancient hamlet has a particular archaeological interest as well as two old paleochristian basilicas and a quarry of marble. Probably, a great earthquake was the reason of the abrupt evacuation in Alykes.
