Hi Ursula,

Sounds like a lovely trip you have coming up!

Thassos is a relatively small island so no matter where you choose to lay your head at night, you will be able to enjoy the entire island with ease throughout the day.

Quiet resorts that are great for snorkeling:

1. Skala Maries & Trypiti (the coastline between these resorts are great for snorkeling)
2. Kekes
3. Alyki
4. Glyfoneri
5. Papalimani
6. Livadi

Great spots for cycling:

1. Dassilio Prinos to Kazaviti
2. Skala Maries to Maries & Maries Lake
3. Theologos to Kastro
4. Limenas to Vathi Beach
5. Limenaria to Giola

I highly recommend bringing your car to Thassos since your interests seem to be more of the active type. If you wanted to lounge by a pool or beach all day then I'd say leave your car in Keramoti.
