It is located in the Port of Thassos and reflects the island’s culture and history. It houses findings from the 7th century BC through the 7th century AD and is an attraction for thousands of visitors each year. Special guided tours for children are available, making it not just a cultural center but an ideal place for family activities.

In the village of Panagia is the Sotirelli Olive Mill with its traditional watermills. Although it no longer operates as a factory, it is open to the public and is an essential element of the island’s cultural heritage. In fact, its watermill is the only one that still operates in Greece. Visitors can be guided in the area and get a taste of all the stages of oil production and the area’s history. In addition, traditional products are available for sale on site.

In Thassos, August is a month of cleansing that prepares the island for the next season. The custom of jumping fire is closely linked to this tradition. It is said that if one goes over the fire three times, it helps them maintain good health. The visitor who will be in a Thassian village on the night of July 31 will have the opportunity to enjoy the event – and why not, to participate!
