The city of Thassos (or else it is called Limenas by the locals) was built in the bay between the cape Evraiokastro and the cape Pachi,to the northeast of the island.It is the administrative and commercial capital of the island as almost all public services are housed here.At the centre of the city you can find the old and new harbor that connects the island by boat with the cities: Kavala and Keramoti.

The ancient agora of Thassos and the ancient theatre are favourite destinations for many tourists. During the summer, theatrical plays and artistic shows are performed at the ancient theatre.The nothern area of Thassos is rich in lush forests. Fortunately it’s one of the few spots in the island that was not affected by the destructive fires in 2007.There are also many marble quarries (the white Thassian marble is well-known)around,that unfortunately have a detrimental effect on the natural beauty of the island. In the centre of the city you can explore a wide variety of shops which sell souvenirs,clothes or you can sit in one of the lovely taverns or coffee shops.
