    Thassos holidays are about as authentically Greek as you can get – luxurious beaches, lush countryside and some hard-hitting historical footprints.

    Island retreat

    The northernmost Greek island, Thassos is a place for being at one with nature while soaking up some traditional culture and history. Greet your neighbours with a cheerful 'yassas' – that's hello in Greek – before scoping out a spot at a family-run taverna for a cheeky glass of an anise-flavoured aperitif – AKA ouzo.

    Step into the past

    Thassos Town, the island's capital, has been the envy of squabbling empires through the ages – look out for Egyptian and Roman influences. Highlights include an acropolis and a Roman amphitheatre, and there’s a brilliant archaeological museum where you can admire hundreds of artefacts.

    Green and gold

    Going to Thassos is like stepping into a leafy green oil painting. It’s drenched in picturesque scenery, with olive groves, lush vineyards and gentle hills aplenty. It’s also home to top-quality beaches, where you can relax and take your holiday snaps – the most popular being Golden Beach.

    Going underground

    Limenaria is Thassos’ second-largest town. Nestled on the island’s west coast, it used to be the hub of Thassos’ mining industry. You'll see the old mining stations here, or you can take a tour of the tunnels below. The town's also got a sandy beach and plenty of places to go for a bite to eat.

    • FOOD & DRINK
    • Look for ‘skala’

      Here's a handy tip for finding your way around the island – many of its settlements are named after the nearest beach. You’ll be able to tell which word's the beach because 'skala' – meaning 'small pier' or 'step' – will appear at the start of it.

    • The big beach

      Golden Beach, the highlight of the island's coastline, stays true to its name with shimmering golden sands. Relax on a sunlounger, chill out in a nearby taverna or take advantage of the watersports on offer. Stretching out for two kilometres, it's the longest beach on Thassos.

    • The secret beach

      While Pachis Beach may not be the island's best-kept secret, it's still got a slightly mysterious aura. It's in a relatively undeveloped area, a 12-minute drive away from Thassos Town, so you'll feel like you're truly getting away from it all as you relax on the pine tree-lined sands.

    • Bargain Buys

      For gifts that won’t break the bank, check out the quaint village of Panagia – just an eight-minute drive away from Golden Beach. Little shops and street stalls sell souvenirs, plus edible goods like candied walnuts and homemade honey.

    • Mid-Range Buys

      Take a drive 25-minutes north from Limenaria on a Monday morning, and you’ll find yourself at the bustling Prinos market. Vendors sell fabric, handbags and fruit, as well as specialities like marble statues – a by-product of an age-old marble mining industry that’s still in full swing.

    • Designer Buys

      Thassos is home to some great jewellery shops, especially in Limenaria and on 18 Oktovriou Street in Thassos Town. For some sparkle that tells of your holiday, pick up a piece of Thassos’ speciality white gold. You'll have to dig deep into your purse though, as a white gold ring costs around £200.

    • Laid-back evenings

      Thassos’ eateries aren’t just for dining – a lot of the island’s nightlife goes on inside local joints. Hit up 18 Oktovriou Street and Central Square for lively places, or sample some tasty seafood on Limenaria’s promenade. For some classic 'rembetika' music, try Theologos, a village an hour's drive from Limenaria.

    • Lively evenings

      Thassos isn't really the place to party it up in nightclubs – it's more of a sip-a-sundowner kind of spot. You can find some cool bars along the waterfront in Potos Town though, and Thassos Town's two nightlife streets bustle with 'ouzeries' – traditional bars – and British pubs.

    • Piperolahana

      Piperolahana has its roots in Prinos. It's a mix of beans, onions, green peppers, brine and cabbage, and it takes 10 whole days to prepare before it hits your plate.

    • Thassos stew

      Veal, apples, potatoes and red wine are slow-cooked into a delicious stew to make this tasty dish. It's all dished up in a sturdy clay pot – and it makes a perfect post for your social media.

    • Kakavia

      Kakavia's made with the catch of the day, plus garlic and veggies. A touch of lemon juice brings it all together into a soup that will remind you of bouillabaisse.

    • Paspalopita

      Paspalopita's crafted by baking feta, courgette and spearmint leaves, and it tastes a little like a Spanish tortilla.

    • Tsipouro

      Entire village communities contribute to the production of tsipouro, a grape-based alcoholic drink. After around two months, it's ready to go.
