\n
On the northernmost island of the Aegean, in the green\nThassos, otherwise known as the \"Emerald Island\". The lush\nvegetation, the lush forests and the deep blue seas that are found, fully\njustify this characterization and make the place a wonderful tourist\ndestination. The acceptance of the beauty of the island starts from antiquity,\nwhere we find it in Greek mythology. Its name is rumored to have been taken\nfrom the brother of Europe, Thassos, who in search of his sister who had been\nkidnapped by Zeus, was enchanted by the beauty of the island and decided to\nsettle permanently in this earthly paradise, forgetting the orders of their\nfather, Aginora.
\n
Such\na fairytale place would never be missing from the Odyssey and the voyages of\nthe famous Greek seafarer, Odysseus. It is rumored that it was its mythological\nport, as it is connected either with the island of Calypso or with the island\nof Sirens. In both versions, however, the magic of the island is emphasized and\nmanifested in the religious beliefs of the ancient Thasians who were faithful\nto the twelve gods of Olympus.
\n
This\nbelief is manifested through the archaeological findings, which are countless\nand scattered throughout the island. Archaeological discoveries and excavations\ncontinue to this day that bring to light new parts of the mysterious life of\nthe ancient inhabitants. Part of this way of life was the worship of the god\nDionysus, with the Dionysian mysteries and orgies required and ordained by the\npriests of the temples and were inextricably linked to the consumption of wine.
\n
Wine,\nsince ancient times, has been a basic local product, with most of the island\nbeing covered by vineyards. The fertile soils generously gave their fruits to\nthe local growers, giving them varieties of wine of exceptional quality. In\nmodern Thassos, the cultivation of grapes is a secondary production, as from\nthe 18th century onwards the olive trees have gained ground. Olive groves are a\nkey part of the local economy, as many have as their main occupation the\ncultivation and trade of olive products. Its exceptional quality fruit is a\nrecognizable product worldwide.
\n
Thassos\nhoney is an equally excellent local product. Honey producers bring their bees\nfrom all over Greece, to take advantage of the rich flora of the island. The\npines and lush forests that cover the whole island are a source for the\nproduction of an excellent quality honey, rich in countless beneficial\ningredients.

One of the greatest gifts of the place to the Thassians\nis the abundant water wealth that surrounds the island. Blue and hospitable\nwaters, full of life and various species of fish are, from antiquity to the\npresent day, a key reason for the development of fisheries. The richness of the\nsea offers our dish a wide variety of seafood that every visitor must enjoy.\nThe rich composition of the sea water offered to the ancient Thasians another\nfamous product, in its time, salt, as in the southeastern part of the island\nthere were salt pans. The salt came from the evaporation of seawater in marble\nbasins, carved at the ends of the mountain, by the sea. The quality of the salt\nwas excellent, which made it world-renowned and recognizable and an exportable\nproduct of the time.
\n
Nowadays\nthere is no salt mining, but the site can be visited as an archaeological\ndestination, within the settlement of the same name. The basins where the\nevaporation took place were the result of marble mining, a process that still\noccurs today. Thassio marble is unique in the world, with a wonderful off-white\ntexture. Apart from the quality of the marble, the element that made the island\nparticularly popular is that most of the quarries were located by the sea. This\nevent was of catalytic importance for the economic development of the island and\nthe spread of white marble, since the marbles were easily mined and, using\nhydraulic cranes, which were considered extremely advanced technology for their\ntime, loaded on merchant ships and started their journey.
\n
Thassos,\nsince antiquity, has been a valuable place, both geographically and because of\nits products, for the entire Mediterranean. Over the years it began to be\nappreciated as a travel destination and to offer its visitors unique\nexperiences. The development of the tourism industry has opened new economic\nhorizons, not only for local but also for foreign investors, with tourism now\nbeing the largest income in the local economy. More and more visitors discover\nthe magic of the island, with the result that every year it is a main\ndestination for relaxation and tranquility.
\n
In\nthe northeastern part of the island extends the bay of Chrysi Akti and Chrysi\nAmmoudia, from Skala Potamias to Skala Panagia. The bay has summer residences\nfrom one end to the other, creating the feeling of a single settlement. Hotel\nunits and all kinds of accommodation are at the disposal of the visitor and\noffer a wide variety of facilities, depending on the preferences that exist. At\nthe end of the beach we find the coastal road that connects one end of the bay\nwith the other. Along the way there are excellent taverns on the sea, folk arts\nfor buying gifts and souvenirs, bars where you can enjoy a cool beer or quaint\ncafes where you can try some local variety of tsipouro with homemade handmade\nmeze.
\n
Of course, at the disposal of the visitors, there are\nalso supermarkets, doctor's office, ATM and other shops with essential items.\nThe beach is about 4.5 km long and is famous for its fine sand with its\nwonderful golden color, from which the two beaches got their name: Chrysi Akti\nand Chrysi Ammoudia. The clear blue waters are ideal for children's disorders,\nas they have an ideal depth for our little explorers to splash. Above the bay\nrises the mountainous and green mass of Mount Ypsario (Psario) and above them\nare the settlements of Potamia and Panagia. In the years of the pirates, the\nforest vegetation kept the inhabitants of the area protected from the sea\ninvaders. The combination of mountain and sea, green and deep blue; the\nintensities of nature, are combined in such an absolute and unique way, that,\nover the years, the small picturesque fishing village became one of the most\npopular destinations in Northern Greece.
