Returning to Thassos this June for the 8th. time in 9 years, but doing it the hard way for the first time. Thomson prices are in my opinion quite outrageous now, (especially flight only). So we’ve booked Easyjet from Gatwick to Thessaloniki for £112.00 each return – bargain!! and reserved a car for 250 euros between 4 of us for the week. Hopefully we can get to Keromoti within a couple of hours, and expect to be downing the Mythos on our sea front balcony by 5p.m. latest.

We’ve done a deal for 2 brand new seafront apartments by the beach at Scala Potomias for 50 euros a night (which was a great price when we booked it last year – but a lot more now)! But can’t wait to return. We’re taking 2 Thassos ‘virgins’ with us – (I’m sure you know what I mean – 1st. time visitors)!, and no doubt they’ll fall in love with the place as everyone else always does.

So sad to learn of the passing of David, I didn’t know him personally but had spoken to him on a couple of occassions and he had a real passion for Thassos which was reflected in his dedication to this site, and I’m sure we are all delighted that it has now been resurrected by his son in law. Please support it, and let all the old contributors know that it’s back up on line.
Might meet one or two of you in June.
Cheers, Peter Kerrone.

Thassos Tours is the oldest, most established and professionally run office for incoming tourism in Thassos, and has developed steadily since 1971. We have a big selection of four, three and two stars hotels all around the island. We can offer as well two and one bedroom aprtms and studios in the loveliest areas of this island.

For first time today we presents certain from the most important discoveries of the archaeological excavations  in Limenas Thassos.

The ground of Thassos is full from similar objects but does not exist money for extensive excavations.

We hopes that the museum will expose this important discoveries.

This June will be our 8th time to holiday at Golden Beach,and we look forward to it now as much as ever.In fact we know the place so well, each time we go,we love it more.
For us, our holiday begins the moment we leave Kavala Airport,as the smooth transfer by coach,and then ferry to our resort is delightful.
The first thing we do on arrival is to have an ice cold beer at Fedra,where we usually stay,and say “Hi”to Niko and his family and all the staff.
We have been to many other places on holiday,but always come back to Thassos where we’re glad to say not much has changed in almost 20 years.
Roll on June…..

This is a great little site and will be returning to see any additional items. One thing I’d like to point out (as I found this out only recently) is that the Emerald Studios in Golden Beach will be described in Thomson Brochures as Smaragdi II – meaning Emerald, I assume, as the apartments are part of the Emerald Hotel complex, which is operated on behalf of Thomas Cook, Thomson’s rivals

Has anyone been to Skala Potamias this year? We`re going next month and wondered if the dreaded black seeds are gone from the beach
