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.

On the northeast side of the present- day town of Thassos, near the harbor and next to the Museum, stand the ruins of the ancient agora; they were brought to light in excavations carried out between 1948 and 1955. The agora consists of a vast level area, rectangular in shape, and lined on three sides with stalls which housed shops and storerooms. On the northeast side stood the administrative buildings and a row of cult buildings. Building on Thassos' agorabegan in the fourth century BC and was completed in stages up to the second century BC. It was the heart of the city, its cultural and commercial center, and the place where locals and foreigners met and transacted business. There are also remains of the Sanctuaries of Theagenes and Zeus of the Market- place. Another building in this area was the Sanctuary of Artemisor Artemision.In Roman times a monumental entrance- way was added.

The present-day entrance to the ancient agora is in the Museum Square.
