Thasos islandA true off-the-beaten-path destination with ethereal beauty
Lush landscapes, pristine and exotic beaches, rich history, laid-back and authentic atmosphere, mountainous villages, delicious food, and hiking trails that lead to the island’s secrets; in a few words, Thasos is the essence of summer in Greece and one of its best well kept secrets.
The protagonist of the island is undoubtedly the virgin nature of the island; the unimaginable scenery of the verdant forests combined with the turquoise waters and the pale or golden sand will make you feel as if this place is not real, as if it jumped out of a painting.
You will probably run out of stamina before Thassos runs out of beaches: Paradise, Chrysi Akti, Chrysi Ammoudia, Agios Antonios, Alykes, Trypiti, Skala Potamia, Paralia Limena, Pefkari, Skala Rahoiou, Giola, Saliara or Marble beach, it is impossible to pick a favorite.
Going village-hopping in Thassos introduces you to unforgettable traditions and local crafts and products. It perfectly contrasts the famous beaches and turquoise water of Greece’s northernmost island. Here, time seems to stand still, and you will have the chance to experience a culinary journey through traditional Greek flavors. Taste the island’s renowned honey, olives, and olive oil, and indulge in a meal at one of the traditional tavernas, where you can savor Thasos’s authentic flavors while enjoying the locals’ hospitality.
But perhaps the most extraordinary charm of Thasos lies in its laid-back and authentic atmosphere. The island embraces a slower pace of life, allowing you to unwind and connect with nature truly. Whether you explore the island’s natural wonders, lounge on pristine beaches, or savor a sunset with a glass of local wine, Thasos offers a tranquil escape that will rejuvenate your body and soul.
