Thassos
Greece
|
 Thassos,
the emerald island, is also the mythical land of the Sirens. From a beautiful
sapphire sea setting, this predominantly green island peeks out like a
jewel in the Aegean Sea. Thassos lies very close to the coast of Thrace
and the plain of the Nesto River. The island is alive with history and
tradition. The natural beauty of Thassos is slightly overwhelming, with
its wooded areas filled with plane trees, oaks, cedars, chestnuts, and
fragrant pines. The landscape is alive with marble and takes on shapes
and contours that are not found anywhere else on earth.
When you first embark on Thassos,
you will be in Limenas, the capital of the island on the northern shoreline.
Limenas, also known as Thasos, is built on the site of an ancient city.
There are still marble ruins and monuments on the outskirts of the city
from ancient centuries. There are marble factories located throughout Thassos
which produce marble for areas around the world.
Thassos is known throughout the
world as one of the loveliest islands in Greece, due to its beautiful and
clean beaches and the wonderful hospitality of the island natives.
