Now the winter has arrived I start the countdown to the next visit, this will probably be the 11th or 12th time but this will be the first time we have travelled independantly, The flights are booked to Thessaloniki with BA and the accommodation has been booked with Niko, his new hotel on gloden beach, the Enavlion is fantastic, we will probably book the car for the transfer with Potos, I assume that other people from this forum would have done this before and I assume that they just meet you at the airport, any advise on our travel arrangements would be greatly appreciated. I cannot wait for the adventure to start and a lovely three weeks in Golden Beach.

We visited Thasos in September 2006 and stayed at the hotel Illio Mare in Skala Prinou. It was THE BEST! The people, are so warm and friendly we can’t praise them enough.(especially Mimoza and her brother Theo, also the wonderful lady who looked after our room).
This was our first visit to Thasos and, indeed, any Greek Island so we only booked a week but we will know better next time. We hired a car and toured this beautiful Island, it really is a little piece of heaven. The scenery, the sunsets, the sea, the mountains, the beaches – it has it all.

Have lost count of the number of times we have stayed on Thassos. Always Skala Potamia or Golden Beach (once at Skala Rahoni). Pretty much covered all of the island including the summit of Ypsario – favourite places, Aliki and Paradisos (after Skala Potamia and Golden Beach of course). Beautifull Island – we will be back!
Our favourite eating places: Akrogiali – superb food, hospitality second to non, we love the hard working Manoli and his son Kostas whom we have seen grow with the business. We remember Manoli from his days at the Korali, brilliant that he now has is own well established business which appears to be thriving. Also Magic Coast – Maria I think will be married now. A lovely family and always a pleasure to return and although they must see hundreds of tourists always a warm welcome on our return.
Our favourite “watering hole”. Ramezos, the old harbour – Thassos town. Best beers on the island and what a place to sit and watch the World go by. Until next time – Yammas

We have just returned from 7 days in Thassos. Thursday being our last day was spent in Alyki south of the Island with the prettiest beach. It was pouring with rain most of the day but this did not dent our enjoyment of the whole experience sheltering from heavy rain in a beach restaurant called ‘Restaurant Alice’ where we had a tasty meal then as the rain subsided visiting the ancient ruins and walking along the mountain side overlooking exquisite views of the sea and of a marble church ruin – magical!
