About Thasos

Just ten kilometres from Kavala on the Greek mainland, the peaceful, green island of Thasos is a delightful destination for relaxed seaside holidays. The island has a reputation for easygoing charm, and you’ll find simple guesthouses as well as boutique boltholes perfect for couples, friends and families looking to soak up the sunshine at the beach or hike in the verdant mountains of the interior. Even better, the best places to stay in Thasos are all within sight of the sea!

Appealingly inexpensive in comparison to some of Greece's more famous islands, Thasos has retained its laid-back atmosphere. Expect to sample superb seafood at family-owned tavernas, take scenic boat trips along the coast, and follow ancient hiking or cycling trails into the tranquil interior. Highlights for heritage aficionados include the ruins of the Venetian castle at Limenaria, the dazzling views from atop Mount Ipsárion, the ancient temple at Alyki and the Byzantine Moni Arhangeloua, which remains a working convent. For a real sense of Thasos’ fascinating past, visit the acclaimed Archeological Museum.

Sun seekers, on the other hand, will be spoilt for choice in Thasos. Soak up the sunshine on Golden beach, Paradise beach, Metalia beach or idyllic Psili Ammos beach. Snooze under a beach umbrella, build sandcastles with the kids, or take cooling dips in clear ocean waters. Sailing excursions come highly recommended, as go strolls around the port, where you’ll find lively eateries and bars. One of the best places to stay in Thasos also has an excellent restaurant for late evening gatherings with loved ones.
