THASSOS ISLAND - GREECE

Travels On Thassos Island - August 2020

In August, we traveled up to Thassos Island for a stay of 6 nights, and while there, visited some beaches, traveled to villages, did some hiking, and had a wonderful time.

This Greek Island is located in the Aegean Sea, off the coast of northern Greece. We sailed on the ferry from Keramoti which took about 30 minutes to reach the island.

Articles including photos relating to our "holiday" on the island are below. For the best viewing of the photos, a laptop at minimum is recommended. Small mobile devices just won't show the beauty of this island captured in the photos.

A Walk To Potamia, Thassos Island

By Ian Scott | August 23, 2020

Earlier, I reviewed our accommodations on Thassos Island – Athos Bungalows – and wrote that I had really enjoyed the location – close enough to the beach, but up on the mountain slope where I could walk some trails. We had a marvelous view of Mount Ypsarion (Ipsario), the highest peak on Thassos Island at […]

Back in early July when we began planning a trip to one of the Greek islands, we did not really know where we wanted to go. We made a list of all the possible islands and then did some research in regard to accommodations, ferry costs, and what each island might offer that was unique. […]
