The small town of Thassos (or Limenas, as it is called by the Thassians) is build in the recess of a gulf, between capes Evreokastro to the east and Pachi to the west.

Rachoni - Skala Rachoni

Heading west from Limenas we pass by some of the most beautiful coasts of Thassos like the beaches of Agios Vasilios, with sycamores, thin sand and the small chapel of St. Vasilios build next to the sea, Nysteri, Glyfada, Papalimani, and Pachi, with pine trees that almost touch the waves of the sea, reaching in the end Skala Rachoni, which is the small port of Rachoni and Agios Georgios (Vouz), located about 5 klm away towards the interior of the island.

Prinos-Skala Prinou

Financially it is one of the most important areas of Thassos, since the discovery of an oil resource and the installation of oil rigs in it’s sea area. Prinos (Kalivia), is located in the highlands of the are and is the main settlement.

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.
