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

Nice to see that Monica & Mick are going again this year, see you in the fedra, this will be our first year going independantly, we are staying at the Enavlion for three weeks, can’t wait, although i don’t quite agree that Golden Beach hasn’t changed in 20 years

We recommend the Steki Taverna and accommodation to everyone who loves great Greek food and friendly, quality service. Katerina and Jorgos make you feel at home and look after you very well. We have stayed with them twice and will do again on our next visit to the island. The last time was a couple of years ago and we still keep in touch with them.

Thomas Cook are cancelling all Thassos holidays! apparently a letter is on its way to me, that was 5 days ago! i had to tell the shop staff! so anyone who has booked their 2007 thassos holiday, should contact Thomas Cook Asap! Excel has stopped flying to kavala.

Highly recommend everything about thassos, took our daughter on her first overseas hoiday 2005,loved every minute of it,everyone so friendly,best restaurant,the one under the huge old tree just next to the square,cant recall its name just wonderful food superb atmosphere, oh to live in thassos.

We were totally thrilled with our visit to the island of Thassos in October of this year. what a place. We stayed at the Galaxy hotel in Thassos town and the owners Yanni and Poppy were very friendly and made us feel at home. Our Thomson rep Lizzy was very helpful and friendly too. We hired a car and drove around the island which i highly recommend. Our favorite beaches were Paradise and Tripiti. Our favorate place to relax in the day was Karnagio a cafe right at the end of the town, passed the old harbour. Our favorate bar was Central bar in town and by far our favorite place to eat was Thassian restaurant in the centre of town. the owners katrin and Rigis were so friendly and the food was delicious every time. We also liked Zodiac and Syrtakis but did not think much of Twins or Doukas.
All in all an amazing place to go. we will be back!!!!!

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
