What you can expect

Experience Limenas, the vibrant capital of Thassos, on a captivating walking tour with a local guide who will share genuine insider knowledge about the town, its history, and life there today. Please note: This is not a specialised archaeological tour, but a lively discovery tour about the area, the people, and life in the past and present.

The tour starts at the Old Port of Limenas, where you can immediately feel how much the sea has shaped life on the island for centuries. Your guide will tell you stories about fishermen, merchants, and life on the island today as you gaze out over the coast and soak up the unique atmosphere of the port.

Next, you will continue to the Limenas Ancient Theatre, which is impressively built into the hillside. From up here, you will not only enjoy a fantastic view over the sea, but also gain fascinating insights into the social life on the island in the past and how this place is still used today.

Afterwards, the route will take you up to the Acropolis, where you will find the Temple of Athena. Here, you will experience one of the most stunning viewpoints on the island. Your local guide will explain to you, in an accessible and engaging way, how life in this region has evolved over the centuries – from antiquity to the present day.

Throughout the tour, instead of dry historical facts, you will hear real stories about everyday life, traditions, changes over time, and the lives of the people living on Thassos today. You will learn about the island's past and how it thrives today, balancing tourism, fishing, and local family businesses.

This tour is perfect for those who want to do more than just see Limenas; they want to truly understand it – with a local guide who will show you the island from their personal perspective.
