THASSOS TOWN: The city of Thassos - Limenas - is the capital and main port of the island, built on the site of the ancient town, overlooking its three harbors. There are many places of archaeological interest that one can visit here: the ancient market (agora), the acropolis, the city walls and various sanctuaries scattered among the modern houses. The most picturesque part of the town is the old harbour with the fishing boats and the taverns by the sea.

ACROPOLIS: The Acopolis was protected by marble walls and was also the site of the sanctuary of Apollo.

THEOLOGOS: Theologos is a unique and picturesque village which is why the Greek government declared it a culture capital in 1979. The houses are built in traditional Macedonia style with roofs made by stone and the new buildings have to have certain standards in order to help maintain the historical and cultural value of the village.

ALIKI: One of the most beautiful and picturesque sites in Greece. Two small white-sand beaches, calm seas with soft sand in and out of the water, a tradition village, the ancient marble quarries, pine trees, fishing.

KASTRO: Kastro is probably the oldest village on Thassos. Built on an inland peak, Kastro was totally abandoned apart from the church of St. Athanasios, who has always been the villagers’ guardian and patron saint. In recent years nearly all of its houses have been restored and the village relives its former glory every year on the feast day of St. Athanasios, 18 January, with a festival which starts on the day before and runs for three days. The landscape and flora are rich reward for those that take the trouble to visit.
