Thassos Walking Adventure

This SeaDream walking adventure will give you the opportunity to visit 3 of the most important sites of Thassos town walking around its small picturesque streets.

Thasos is an attractive island with beautiful beaches and an ideal landscape. It is perfect for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. Your land adventure of Thasos starts from Limenas, the capital of the island. After 10 minutes you will reach the Archaeological Museum of the island. It has been built near the ancient agora, on the small port, and displays various findings from Thasos such as potteries, statues & terracotta figurines. But the most impressive exhibit is the colossal kouros holding a ram offering from the Archaic era. Many other Artifacts date from the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman era. Your next visit is the Ancient Agora; the Agora was the commercial and cultural center of the city where locals and foreigners met for business transactions and leisure. To the north of the agora, you will see the ruins of the ancient temple of Dionysos that dates back to the 4th Century B. C. Following the visits at the Museum & Agora you will then walk 70 flat steps to the Ancient Theatre of Thassos. The Ancient Theatre is built inside a natural cavity in the hill and leaning against the wall according to Hippocrates it must have been built here as early as the 5th century B.C. A whole pillar and various other sections of the forestage are saved to this day. Those years the theatre was used for theatrical and musical performances. Later in the Roman era, the orchestra pit and the edolia (rows of seats) were renovated. On several seats, one can still see inscribed names, which indicates that people used to reserve their seats. At the end of your visit, you will have free time to admire the great views of Thassos town before you start walking downhill to Thassos pier and your tender to SeaDream.
