Stayed on Thassos for 2 weeks during September 06, can’t say I thought much of Thassos Island itself, but the people and the food certainly made up for it, especially the Ta Pefka tavern (Hello Elvis), where we were made to feel at home every time we went, I highly recommend it, and the food is superb as well!
For a really romantic Tavern/restaurant nothing beats Vigli at the top of Golden Beach, with its stunning view.
hi pauline sorry we could not make it back I could not get time from work we will see you in may or june 07 we are so disapointed I dream of the big beans I have tried to make them but have to say magic coast make the best good luck and best wishes for your wedding my kind regards to you and every in thassos
For any one that is interested-we’ve just got back from Thassos having stayed in the Anastasia apartments. When we booked I couldnt find anything on these particular apartments so only had verbal recommendation. The apts were at Golden Beach and were simple and clean clean, typically Greek and we would recommend them to any one who is thinking of booking. Also we ended up eating most of the time in Finikas at night – very reasonable and good service. Stephanos next door did a good toastie at lunch time and the homemade walnut pie and icecream was to die for.
If like us, you fancy a good english breakfast while on holiday, try CHEERS, which you will find soon after the taxi rank on the town side of the road, heading towards the old harbour.Peter and his wife (sorry can’t remember your name) will always make you feel welcome. Their breakfasts are superbly cooked, (not swimming in grease) priced very cheaply, the breakfasts are really filling, and come piping hot! I believe you can have your cooked “breakfast” in the evening too, but I’m not certain. Their range of beverages are extensive and also NOT expensive.
We have enjoyed five consecutive holidays in Thassos since 2001, all the previous trips have been in June. This year we are going back for a 2nd holiday next week.
I wonder does anyone know if Yannis at Tasos’s in Skala Potamia has opened up?? When we visited in June his premises were still closed up. I hope so as he is the most generous and hospitable of hosts.
Must also mention Anne and Ian at the Aegean Bar and Dave and Nita at the Ena bar in Golden Beach, both of who are extremely welcoming.
Looking forward to being there
There is a new bar this summer in Limenas called “Bacarrat! It is next door to Moyses taverna and is really nice. It is run by George & Themis who are sons of the owner of Toxotis Taverna. Enjoyed a pre siesta frappe there, a pre dinner ouzo at sunset & many evenings with a glass of wine or a cocktail. Toxotis is also still my favourite taverna.
Just back today after excellent week in the Korina at Scala Potamia. Very Good Hotel.
Big news is that he wreck has gone from Golden Beach. The remaining half was there tuesday afternoon but by wednesday lunchtime had been taken over to the cliffs most of the way toward the northern headland and therefore could hardly be seen.
Great place
Posidanas Restaurant run by Vasilli on the outskirts of Thassos Town heading toward Nisteri beach is fantastic . . . . the best food we tasted on Thassos!
Just got back from 2 weeks in Thassos stayed at the Hotel kamelia Scala Potatmia very nice place. This was our 3rd visit. Favourite place to vist Aliki. Favourite place to eat the Akogryalis run by Manolas his father and his son. The Mussels Saganaki is to die for. Fedra in Golden beach is also very good try the Crepes with Aubergine. Worst meal Green Sea, my meal was cold another meal was overcooked (kleftico)but having said that had been in on a previous lunch time and had very good food so perhaps the Chef was off sick the night we visited. The tanker was still in the bay when we left 3rd September. Could someone let us know when it was eventualy towed away please?
