Simply Thassos: Panagia, Aliki

Spend a day amid the sacred stillness of tiny churches and tall mountains on Thassos Island


Overview
Get acquainted with the arresting scenery and deep religious history of Thassos Island.

Journey to the mountain village of Panagia, built in a gorge on the side of a mountain so as to be invisible to the pirates that once roamed the surrounding seas. Tour a beautiful domed basilica with marble walls and a revered icon of the Virgin Mary.

Venture to the peninsula of Aliki and explore the Byzantine churches that look out over the water.

Step inside an imposing monastery that seems shielded from time and see the venerable Mount Athos loom on the horizon.
