Re: Luggage on ferry
Hi JaneW 
Don is correct. Some boats have a luggage hold room and others have a space outside, next to the steps going up, for storing your luggage for the journey. If you're taking a taxi to Keramoti, usually the driver would help you carry your luggage onto the boat and they know exactly where to put it. Otherwise, just look for luggage and put yours there or ask an employee as soon as you board the ship and they'll direct you to the right place for luggage storage.
No, there is no hydrofoil operating the Kavala - Thassos route this year.

Re: Luggage on ferry
No you leave your luggage at the foot of the steps as every foot passenger does the go up and enjoy the journey to Thassos

Re: car-hire
Hi MrTimW!
We always use Potos Car Hire and have done both - depends on where we're flying into and what time we're arriving.
From Thessaloniki airport we get a car. They drop the car at the airport for you. You just meet them in a car park that's really close to the terminal.
If we're coming into Kavala airport we tend to just get a taxi to Keramoti port and go on as foot passengers (cost of taking the car on the ferry is about the same as the taxi)
Then depending on what time you arrive you can get the car from the Potos office right opposite the ferry terminal in Thassos town
Hope this helps

Re: travel between Thassos and Samothraki?
Hi again!
Unfortunately there's no direct ferry. We have done it once and yes you have to drive to Alexandroupoli. If I remember rightly at the time there were only a couple of ferries a day, so timing is important.
From Kavala there's also a ferry to Lemnos now, so we're trying that island for the first time this year before heading to Thassos. I think it will be a slightly easier journey than Samothraki and we'll hire a car on Lemnos, so no need to take it on the ferries back and forth
If you do take the car on the ferry it's important to know if the car hire company allow this.

Re: Traveling in the mountain on Thassos
Hello Augie,
Thank you for the information! I am looking at this map everyday, because at the Thassos's municipality site there is a text, that you are not allowed to go if the risk is at level 4 or 5. But that general restriction confused me (Government gazette fek A'138/ 05.08.21). Anyway... As they say - to ask is a shame for a minute, not to know is a shame for life. 😀 Maybe tomorrow is the day then.
Best regards,
Delyan

Re: Vathi beach
I thought all beaches had to leave a percentage % free for general use. Is this not the case?
Re: Flying from Uk
We are due to travel to Thassos at the end of July. We have been visiting every year for 32 years but last year was the first time we travelled to Thessaloniki. I don’t know why we didn’t do it sooner. The flight (with all extra additions for comfort) and the cost of the taxi was much cheaper than Tui. It was no hassle - nice airport, walked out and got into taxi to travel to Kerimoti with nice scenery. If you are desperate to get to Thassos, as we certainly are, then why not consider it.
