Thassos Holidays - Travel Guide

Most of the popular Thassos holiday resorts are on the southwest coast, close to the town of Limenaria where there are plenty of bars and tavernas near to the beautiful sandy beaches. The small villages of Panagia and Potamia on the east of the island are very picturesque and within easy reach from Limenaria.

The capital of the island Thassos Town, also known as Limenas, is built on the site of an ancient town, once home to Thracians and Phoenicians. Give your Thassos holidays an interesting cultural aspect by visiting the ruins of the old settlements that are still visible in many parts of the town.

On the east coast of Thassos the tourist development of Golden Beach has a number of good Hotels and amenities close to a fine stretch of sand. As with many of the Greek islands, seafood features heavily on the menu. Many of the restaurants that you can enjoy on Thassos holidays feature some interesting dishes involving swordfish and octopus.

The pace of life on Thassos holidays is generally quite slow compared with some of the other Greek islands so the nightlife is more focussed on beachfront tavernas and bars than bouncing nightclubs.

Thassos holidays have a variety of interesting historical attractions in addition to great beaches. In the capital there is an archaeological museum with findings from around Thassos dating from as far back as the 7th century BC. The ancient amphitheatre at Limenas is in a picturesque hillside setting and definitely worth a visit.

A tourist boat runs a daily tour right around Thassos and is a good way to get your bearings in relation to everything else on the island. Book Golden Beach Thassos holidays for a relaxing Greek Island holiday with great weather and fantastic facilities.
