The historical aspects of Thassos

Inhabited since the Paleolithic era, Thassos was invaded during antiquity by the Phoenicians, the Atheniens and by King Darius of Persia. The Byzantine and Ottoman eras were also rife with political upheaval and several changes of power. In modern times, Thassos fell into the hands of the Bulgarians in World War II and each of these occupying powers has left an indelible mark on its culture, as visitors can discover through the island's museums and architecture. The Archaeological Museum of Thasos and the Polygnotos Vagis Municipal Museum in Potamia are rich sources of information, while the Archangel Michael's Monastery offers superb vistas over the Aegean sea. The strategic port of Thasos, the ruins of the Venetian castle at Limenaria and Theologo, the ancient administrative capital, are amongst the island's many historic attractions.

Blessed by nature

The island's secluded coves, bays and romantic beaches will appeal to travellers in search of peace and quite in marked contrast to the vibrant nightlife of nearby Mykonos. The natural pool of Giola and the mountain villages of Kalirachi and Panagia with their quaint stone houses, grey-tiled roofs and cobbled streets are reminiscent of a bygone era. The island's landscape is covered with trails leading to secret, abandoned places, ruined castles and caves. Livadi, Paradise, Makriammos, Golden Beach, Alyki and Metalia are renowned beaches and a wide variety of holiday rentals, holiday houses and holiday apartments are available to book nearby. The sheer scope of the island's natural beauty as well as its rich and varied history and benign climate makes renting a holiday home in Thassos a popular choice with both European and international travellers.
