Emerald Island of the Aegean

Cleverly advertised as "Greece's best-kept secret," Thasos lies just a short ferry ride from the mainland and offers much more than just bays and beaches. A popular holiday destination for both package tourists and independent travelers, this mountainous island boasts a blend of attractions that include shops, museums, churches, ancient sites, fine restaurants, and trendy clubs. The remains of an ancient agora--a standout among Thasos' notable things to see--draw history buffs to the island's eponymous capital city. The capital also features an outstanding museum of archaeology, which houses artifacts from the Neolithic to the Roman periods. To arrange what you want to do in Thasos, use our Greece travel site.
