Diamond review   A week in Limenaria
Review of Thassos (Greece) by PaulL_UK

Advantages: Relaxing, great food and friendly locals
Disadvantages: Might be too quiet for some

I'll start this review by stating that what you are going to read is based on my experience of a small area of the island of Thassos, during an incredibly relaxing holiday in late June/early July 2002. It would be exceeding difficult to predict exactly what your holiday would be like, but here is my story (probably with a fair dash of the 'glib biography' in an attempt to keep folks interested). Booking ********* This holiday was a last minute ... Read review

Relax in the Sun
Review of Thassos (Greece) by dont_ask_me

Advantages: Quiet, Relaxing, Good Food, Reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Don't go here if you are looking for night clubs and discos

...I spent two weeks in Thassos at the end of June/beginning of July 2006. We had a wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quiet relaxing break in the sun. The Journey We have been to a number of Greek Islands before, but had been put off visiting Thassos because there is no airport and you have to transfer to the island via ferry. Don't let this deter you. The transfers in both directions are extremely well organised ... Read review

A great place to holiday
Review of Thassos (Greece) by elliepom

Advantages: great beaches, good food
Disadvantages: a bit of a journey to get there

I visited Thassos a few years back, but was so impressed with it, I felt I had to write a review to encourage others to visit. We went to Thassos on one of those last minute package tour holidays with Thomson's, and only paid £175 each for 14 nights, in a self catering studio apartment at the Glyfada apartments, just outside Thassos town. A bit about the island: Population: 16,000 Thassos lies 10km off the coast of mainland Greece. Its ... Read review

A Super Time In Thassos
Review of Thassos (Greece) by gregemartin

Advantages: Quite, yet lively as well.
Disadvantages: Someimes a little on the hot side.

Seven days on Thassos which felt like seven weeks we did so much. A few pointers for others heading that way: 1) Garden Studios, Thassos, is well located, but the rooms in the back block are incredibly airless. No aircon, but no fans either. Poor design means nights of passion-sapping heat that never goes away. Head for the verandah for a cool night (or if you don't want to share the twin room no more!), but mind those mozzies. Bottom line: pay ... Read review

That's more like a greek island
Review of Thassos (Greece) by grafter123

Advantages: More like the real greek island with a hint of commercialism
Disadvantages: May be too quiet if you are a wild child

We went to Thassos about 8 years ago so things may have changed a bit.Let's hope not for the worst.We flew from Manchester travelling in early September.After arriving at the airport we were taken by coach for a 1/2 hour dirve to the ferry crossing to Thassos island. We were not particularly looking forward to this as it's the first one we've done and were expecting delays and hassle.I am pleased to say it was totally painless.We were dropped ... Read review

Very relaxing
Review of Thassos (Greece) by Sam-Hay

Advantages: Very relaxing
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit too quiet

...husband and I went to Thassos with another couple in July/August 1999. I'd been to a few Greek islands before (the "big" ones - Corfu, Crete, Rhodes, Kos) and my husband had only been to Rhodes. He had a bad experience in Rhodes and so hadn't fancied going to Greece again, but when our friends booked for Thassos and invited us along, he decided to give it a go and we booked on. The flight was only about 3 and a half hours to Kavala, on the Greek ... Read review

Thassos Town, Greece - Fabulous!
Review of Thassos (Greece) by pixiepuff

Advantages: Quiet, fabulous beaches, cheap food, local greek atmosphere
Disadvantages: Not good for clubbers, 18-30 type holidays

...at the George Hotel in Thassos Town for one week in mid September 2004. Although the George Hotel is very basic (more like self catering apartments without the self catering facilities!), it was kept spotlessly clean. We were on B&B basis, but didn't have breakfast there so can't comment! The pool is gorgeous, as is the pool area and pool bar. Lovely family run atmosphere - again very clean. The pool bar isn't always open late (10:00 p.m. onwards), ... Read review

A nice quiet island
Review of Thassos (Greece) by jamesd

Advantages: Sun, sand, sea and the Greek hospitality.
Disadvantages: Having to come home.

Thassos is a lump of rock sticking out of the North Agean sea, it is very similar in appearance to most of the other Greek islands with one exception, it is greener and has a lot more trees. There are very few inhabited islands near this island and as it seems to straight up to a point and then back down to the sea, there is no room on the island for a airport. It is quite a small island and the perimeter of the island can be driven in about 90 minutes. ... Read review

Grease in Greece...
Review of Thassos (Greece) by lil_devilg

Advantages: A nice holiday with the family, and have time to relax!
Disadvantages: The weather can be unbearable, but its a great excuse to take a siesta!

The Greek island of Thassos is one of the hottest of the Greek islands, experiencing temperatures of way over 100 degrees! I went last year in August and had a great time. Thassos is more for relaxation and spending time with others, its great for spending quality time with the family or just getting away! I stayed in Crystal studios near golden beach. The scenery is beautiful, but the altitute was quite high as it was quite a rocky place! The thing ... Read review

Thassos the way to do it!
Review of Thassos (Greece) by TheWarners

Advantages: Fantastic senery, good food, great people, quiet, value for money, a true peice of paradise!
Disadvantages: None that I could name...but could be too quiet for some

...visited the beautiful island of Thassos for our summer holiday. We had everything on our doorstep and couldn't have asked for more! We've been to a few of the Greek islands and also to Spain and the Canaries, but nowhere matches up to the beauty of this wonderful island. The locals were friendly and spoke VERY good English. The food was delightful and inexpensive, our accomodation was clean, tidy, spacious and above all comfortable. The sky was ... Read review

Thassos-not Ionian !
Review of Thassos (Greece) by twinkle

Advantages: quiet,no football yobs,cheap,good food
Disadvantages: very little 'character', no main sites,ruins etc to see

...wife and I went to Thassos for the first time,in June, and although an enjoyable and pleasant time, it was lacking 'something'. Yes it is the usual hot,friendly and Greek island, it did not have the usual trappings that make the essential Greek island-no donkeys, no old men playing backgammon-it could have been Walt Disney's idea of a Greek island.Yes the food is nice, yes it is cheap enough, and indeed the roads are excellent(the best I have seen ...

Get away from it all!
Review of Thassos (Greece) by andy_cc

Advantages: beautiful scenery, great food
Disadvantages: maybe a little quiet

First of all Thassos is a very picturesque island, just right for that perfect get away from it all holiday.There are some fantastic beaches on this island, and its not too big to get around it ina day in one of the many hire cars available.There is one main road which circles the island, and you can stop off along the way visiting many fine beaches as you go. Thassos town is very picturesque with some lovely walks in and around, especially up to ... Read review
