Thassos-Forum

We're off on 5th July and have been having similar thoughts for some time- the way I see it is unless Greece has been secretly printing drachma's ( highly unlikely ) then even if they default on 30th June they still have to have a currency which will be euros - I've bought ours at the latest rates a...

If you have been holidaying on Corfu for 13 years then you will be in for a culture shock ! Thassos is 3rd world compared to most of the Greek islands,lovely island,nice people but 1950's mentallity. What's 1950's mentality ? Don't understand this comment at all ? Been to Corfu a few years ago - Co...

No contest - Scala Potamia

Been watching the Thomson Website and decided to book for the summer - prices change almost daily but couldn't bear to think we might miss out ! We have gone to Susies for years but now Thomson have dropped them ( their loss ) we tried Smaragdi's last year - absolutely perfect - spotless rooms , spe...

Video ably gets the message across - never quite sure how shocking pictures need to be to get a reaction - sometimes I feel stark images are counterproductive because some people cannot bear to watch and the plea can go unheard - this video, in my view , has got the right balance. Never fails to mov...

Can't resist another week in september - looking on Thomson website a flight only fare is just about worth it when you consider you can book a private studio so can pick and choose where you want to stay - we personally prefer the scala potamia end of the bay. What you don't get with Thomson is a tr...

Just got back from 2 weeks staying at Smaragdi - had an absolutely perfect holiday - weather 36c or more everyday. Everything said about Costas and Katerina spot on - lovely couple who couldn't do enough for us - apartments spotless with views to die for. Cardiac hill would have been a real problem ...

Thanks for info - the reason I was asking is that my wife has had mild toothache on and off over the last week. Our dentist has not been helpful - says as the pain is tolerable she can wait until we come back from holiday when he can fit her in. We've been looking around trying to find another denti...

Does anyone know if there is an emergency dentist around Scala Potamia area or thassos town ? Just in case !

thanks for the info - can't wait till next Sunday. This will be our first stay up Golden Beach end - good to know we haven't made a mistake.

We're off next weekend - trying to fit all our luggage in to the 15 kilo allowance Thomsons have reduced it to this year ( yet another way to rip you off ! ) staying at Smaragdi ( Golden Beach ). Does anyone know if they provide an electric kettle ? We have brought our own in the past but it is quit...

We're flying out on 17th June - lost count on how many times we've been going each year. First time we're staying at Golden Beach end ( Smaradgi ) -a bit wary about the infamous hill but what the heck its still within walking distance of Green Sea , Krambousa , Korali and all our old " friends ...

Thanks for this info - does the ferry from Kavala go to thassos town ?

My son and his girlfriend are joining us in June this year at Golden Beach - unfortunately they are unable to travel with us on the Sunday flight but have managed to get an Easyjet flight into Thessoloniki the following wednesday and will travel down by bus ( the cheapest way ). Any tips on how best...

Hi. We have been coming to Thassos for many years and love it here. We have been staying at Susies in Scala Potamia for the past 4 years as we love the location. Panos may come over as a little reserved but he and his wife have always been very welcoming. Unfortunately this year Thomson have dropped...
