The island of Thassos is located in the north of the Aegean Sea, opposite the town of Kavala (ancient Neapolis). 15 km north of Kavala we find the archeological sites of the ancient city of Philippi and approximately 200 km west of Kavala is Thessaloniki.

Thassos is reached by ferry boat from Kavala or Keramoti, a seaside village close to the international airport of Kavala.

Thassos is a beautiful island with a population of almost 16000 inhabitants. The main occupation of the Thassian people is tourism but it also has income from the quarrying of marble, the production of agricultural products such as olive oil, honey etc. and the timber trade. Since it is so closely situated to the main land (only 45 min.- 1:30 hrs by flying dolphin or ferry) it is not an island that is empty in wintertime.

Besides visiting beautiful beaches all around the island, visitors can engage themselves in other activities such as hiking, horse riding, boat trips or daily excursions to the main land.

Thassos offers many hotels and other accommodation as well as the traditional greek tavernas with local cuisine.
