The island of Thassos is located on the Northern Aegean Sea, at about 10 miles south from the city of Kavala, one of the most beautiful cities of Macedonia & Thrace in Greece. A place of irresistible natural beauty, with an interesting and rich fauna and a wonderful flora. Thassos looks like a forest on water as most of its surface is covered by pine forests and beautiful olive groves. Thassos is believed to have been named from Thassos who was one of the offsprings of Aginoras, the king of Phoenicia. Thassos came in the island during his research in Europe and he established himself there as the first king. Other ancient sources support that other appellations of the island, such as Hieria comes from the chill summer breeze Athria, as Coast of Goddess Demetra thanks to the fertile ground of the island or Dasos which means forest in Greek thanks to the many forests on the island.
