Trip to Thassos

VACATION IN THASSOS

MY vacation was on 21-8 to 31-8 and it was mostly for swimming and touring around the island. Each day we had a different beach to visit and returned very late. Our residence was on the point of Skala Potamias a point at about the middle of the eastern coast and 13 km far from the Limenas ( the capital of the island)

Our residence point is marked with white coloured dot

As far as I have heard , there is only one radio station in the island â•• but did not anyone noticed me the name of the station and neither was audible on our residence. As you can find the list below all these stations are coming from at least 25 km far ( Kavala , but very few as the mountain stops nearly all the signals from there ) , but most stations can be heard from Xanthi , Komotini and Alexandroupoli ie all the places from eastern side of th islands.

And just a few more words for the island.

The island is located SE from Kavala and has ship connections from two points of the Kavala state ( Kavala and Keramoti)The second point - 45 km by road far from Kavala - is much closer to the island with only 30 minutes. 3 ship points are available in Thsssos , though only two have regular connections ( Limenas and Limenaria) It is mostly mountainous.

Eastern part is most touristic, full of hotels, pensions, studios and apartments across the road and the small villages
