THEOLOGOS
The mountainous village of Theologos is situated on the southeastern side of the island, 50 kilometers from Limenas and 10 kilometers from the village of Potos.
Theologos is a traditional group of dwellings, with narrow alleys paved with stone slabs which maintains its tradition and culture.
At the village you will have the opportunity to visit the waterfalls of ‘Kefalogourna’, the old lime kilns, the oil mills and watermills that still exist in the area, will transport you to another era when man and nature used to live in harmony worrying only about the very basic needs. You can also visit the folklore museum in the ‘Hatzigiorgi’ mansion as well as some churches.
The village is renowned for its local cuisine with the most popular specialty being the roasted goat.
It is a special destination that still resembles a genuine mountainous community, with colors and scents of past times, tranquil ambience and unspoilt by the fast living pace of the modern days.
The Emerald Island
THASSOS ISLAND
Thassos is a pole of attraction for thousands of tourists every year, especially during summer, but it is also a perfect place for vacations during autumn and spring as well. It is very close to the main Greek land, thus the expenses to get here are very low, comparing to the other Greek islands.
Thassos has beautiful beaches, which have crystal blue waters, all around the island. It also has amazing deep green nature areas full of plane and pine trees at its inner part. Thus, is a perfect place for holidays because it combines perfectly the sea and mountain.
Getting here
There is only one way to reach Thassos and that is by boat. The island has two ferry ports, the main one is in Limenas (Thassos Town), the capital of the island. The route to Limenas is from Keramoti on the mainland and is the most popular route to get to Thassos. The reason being that during the summer months the boats run every half an hour and the journey time is only 35 minutes. The distance from Limenas to Theologos is approximately 54 km’s, take the island ring road and travel in an clockwise direction and follow the signs for Potos, once you reach the center of Potos follow the signs for Theologos & continue up the mountain until you reach the village. The second port is located at Skala Prinos and is served from Kavala, this route has a journey time of approximately one and a half hours and has less frequent sailings, a maximum of 5 in a day during summer. From Skala Prinos, again travel in an clockwise direction for approximately 38 km’s. The directions are the same as above.By Airplane
Thassos does not have its own airport but is well served by Kavala Airport (Megas Alexandros) which is situated just 17 kilometres from Keramoti port. Kavala is mainly for charter flights during the summer from all over Europe but does have a twice daily connection service to Athens International Airport. Alternatively, Thessaloniki, just two hours away from Kavala, has a full international airport which also benefits from several budget airlines which use it. Car hire is simple and the journey to Kavala/Keramoti is straightforward using the wonderful Odos Ignatia (E90).By Car
As mentioned above, Thassos is fortunate in that it is very close to the Odos Ignatia (European E90) which is a super highway built to provide a backbone across the north of Greece. It runs from Igoumenitsa on the western Ionian Coast of Greece to Alexandroupolis on the east Aegean coast, close to the Turkish border. The E90 has good links to the south of Greece and all of the Balkans.
