 Thassos is one of the most beautiful islands of Greece, combining sea and mountains with pine forest and olive groves. The ideal combination of blue like its clear water and green like its forest. The excellent beaches (the most famous is golden beach)  with crystal clear water, the remote tiny bays, the picturesque villages and the busy night life make Thassos an ideal and popular resort. Thassos is the Northern island of the Aegean sea and is situated close the mainland. Its nearest point is 6 miles from the mouth of the Nestos, about 13 mile from Kavala and it thus faces the boundary between Macedonia and Thrace.

Its highest point is Mt. Hypsarion (1142m), nearly in the centre. The mountain sides are covered with forests, pines, planes, and chestnut trees predominating; the timber has always been in demand for shipbuilding.
The population of ca. 18,000 is distributed between the capital Limenas and 11 other villages. In the coastal areas olives are cultivated. The road which encircles the island is sufficient. There is good water in the island. The marble quarries of Thasos have always been famous; the gold mines earned in antiquity for the island the epithet of 'golden'.
