Transport
I enjoyed the tour from start to finish. The tour guide provided a lot of information about various places in both English and German which was impressive. I particularly enjoyed stopping at the Holy Monastery of the Archangel Michael and Aliki Archaeological Site. It was fantastic to learn more about Thassos and to see a working monastery. Loved Panagia and it was definitely worth stopping to explore. Guide Mariana and driver Stavros were brilliant.
All the best bits of Thassos feature on this full day tour. Your guide will recount stories and myths as you traverse the countryside and coastline to the clifftop Archangel Michael monastery, Panagia, and Aliki – for its picture-postcard beach. It's a great way to see the island and the scenery is second to none.
Kick off at Archangel Michael, a 12th century working monastery perched on a cliff edge. Explore the icon-bedecked chapel and soak up the views over the Aegean – on a clear day you can see to Mount Athos, the holy mountain in mainland Greece. Next is Aliki, a beautiful promontory lined by beaches, where you'll have time for some strolling and sunning. We'll also pit stop in Faros for a chance to grab some lunch.
Then it's off to Panagia where you'll visit the blue-domed church as well as see the miniature canals carrying water from the mountains. We'll round off in breezy Thassos town and walk through the ancient marketplace, the centre of trade and politics of its time.
