The region named Prinos includes the village Prinos(Kalyvia),the new village of Prinos,the minor and the great Kazaviti and Skala Prinos. Prinos is located on the mountainous area of the region,whereas Skala Prinos is located in the coastal area.From there you can take the ferry boat or the flying dolphine to the city of Kavala or to the harbor of Peramos. Economically, it’s a very important region for the island because petroleum deposits have been found there. Many pumping stations operate in the area.
A lot of people come and go during the summer,in the Skala Prinos,mainly due to the harbor.At the village Prinos there are many interesting shops for tourists and locals.Every Monday, the local market opens and you can buy fresh products.You can also find in the village the buildings of the Biological Oil-Mills of Thasos,(which produce the famous,-for its beneficial properties-biological olive oil “Kardiophilo”),the factory of olives and the Thasian Honey-makers Guild.
At the cross-section of Prinos there is a road which leads to the traditional village Kazaviti(about 4km away).It’s perhaps one of the most picturesque small villages in Thasos,built on the slopes of an evergreen hill,with lovely houses with wooden balconies and stone walls.Here one can marvel at what has left from the old estates and churches.
