Natural Resources

Thassos has some of the richest soils between the Aegean islands. Fruits, honey, olives, olive oil and wine are some of the most famous products, not only in Greece, that the island has to offer. The big forest fires in the 80s, destroyed the largest part of the pine forests resulting in the extinction of the wolf and the jackal, whose numbers were already zero. Nowadays in Thassos you can find foxes, hares, badgers and few smaller mammals (May 2010: emails-argue recieved, from local people that they say there are no foxes in island ).

Kazaviti (Small and Big Prinos)

If you follow the left road in the crossroad of Prinos and in a distance of 4 klm, you will reach the first Kazaviti, the so called Mikro Kazaviti (Small Prinos). 500 m after that lays Megalo Kazaviti (Big Prinos). They are definitely the most traditional little villages built in a hills’ slope, inside a dale. Unfortunately, today a lot of houses have been abandoned by the local people who left for finding jobs and better life in the lowlands of the island or ever further away.
