Re: Keramoti - Kavala bus
Hi Ewelina 
Limenas (ferry) -> Keramoti (bus) -> Kavala (bus) -> Thessaloniki is incomplete.
Here is the complete route:
Limenas (ferry) -> Keramoti (bus) -> Chrysoupoli (bus) -> Kavala (bus) -> Thessaloniki
This route is long and tiring because you will need to take a bus from Keramoti to Chrysoupoli, and then switch to a different bus that goes to Kavala. You might need to wait for the bus to Kavala.
I recommend this easier route instead:
Limenas (bus) > Skala Prinos (ferry) > Kavala (bus) > Thessaloniki
Limenas (ferry) -> Keramoti (bus) -> Kavala (bus) -> Thessaloniki is incomplete.

Re: Thassos Goodbye
Ed & Gioro
Thank you both for your messages 😊
Ed - to be honest I have thought of myself as a local or at least half local for a long time, it’s been a second home and some years we have visited two or three times. May, June and September. I have forever friends on the island which I will always keep in contact with. The thought of never returning does make me very sad after so long. I do appreciate the humour 😊 some locals I have spoken to preferred the good old days to what is the norm now but obviously I cannot speak on behalf of all of them and you are very right, they have to accept it as it’s business and I know they have to make their living in the season. We used to see the same faces every year but over the past 5 years (covid didn’t help) we don’t have that joy anymore. Thinking of maybe a quiet part of Rhodes or Crete for next year and see how it goes. I’ll come back here and let you know yay or nay! Keep enjoying your time on Thassos and I hope you will for a very long time.
Gioro - 30 years, wow even longer than us! You would remember the unfinished roads and hardly any buildings then! Thank you so much for your honesty, although I am sad you also have the same feeling. It’s very hard to part with a place which holds so dear in your heart and memories. Amazing news you bought a property there, I hope despite the negatives you and I have mentioned you have many happy times there. Thanks so much again for your comment 😊

Re: Thassos Goodbye
Hi Amy,
I read with deep sadness regarding your decision not to travel to Thassos anymore. I totally understand your views and I must say my family are thinking the same at the moment. We have been travelling to Thassos for well over 30 years and we can definitely see the changes you refer to. We have always stayed in Golden Beach and have so many forever friends there. In order to try and integrate with the Thassians, I went to night college to learn the Greek language for 2 years. You are definitely right about the amount of Romanians who now holiday on Thassos. They do not like to spend any money in the restaurants and shops. The consequence of this is the restaurants are now struggling to survive, apart from the supermarkets. I have also noticed in restaurants on Golden Beach they have taken so much of the Greek dishes we love to eat whilst on holiday off the menu which is really sad. We remember the road between Ioannis Hotel and the Fedra restaurant. There used to be fields on either side and you would see goats crossing the road. There were no buildings in between, it was absolutely perfect. We are going back to Stoupa this year because it reminds us so much of how Thassos was many, many years ago. I hope everyone who travels to Thassos this year has a fantastic time, but it’s sadly not for us anymore.

Re: Agios Georgios
Hi Sonja!
If you have a car and want a quiet location, I highly recommend Agios Georgios!!
Agios Georgios is a typical sleepy mountain village just a 5-minute drive from some of the best beaches on the island... Skala Rachoni, Glyfoneri, and Pachis to name a few of them!
The biggest supermarket in Thassos called "Latsouris" is also in the area which is a big plus.
