I took a day trip to Thassos from Keramote yesterday 29th May to do some fencing work on the land my Greek wife and I are selling in Astris https://www.viviun.com/AD-155196/. The ferry was pretty full in both directions. I took a 7:00 am ferry to Thassos and a 2:00 pm ferry back to Keramote. My only concern was that the wearing of masks was not being enforced and very few people were wearing them. The ferry was mainly full of truckers, delivery drivers and workers.
Hello everyone,
Did you notice my deliberate mistake? Keramoti has an “i” at the end, not and “e”. Sorry. I’m on old git and I was never any good at spelling.
Regards,
Martyn
Hi Andrei 
These are the official instructions released by the Ministry of Health for ferries. From my understanding, these will be required and enforceable measures. I don’t know why people were not following these measures according to Martyn’s account on 29 May, but I believe when tourism begins they will be fully enforced.
No worries, Martyn! We all knew what you meant

Tui have advised me they are refunding my full money for my holiday which was due to start a week today.
Thank God we have been given some Greece like weather over recent weeks in the UK to make the blow softer.
I do hope the UK is soon in a position to be added to the list and remain there so we can return next year. But more important I hope the economy of Thassos can make up the loss of income during rest of this holiday season and into next year.
I believe the extension of the season should be explored to end of October for this year and next to make a difference.

Hi Steve
Thanks for the update! I’m glad you’ll be getting a full cash refund. Our fingers are still crossed that you will be able to come to Thassos this summer. A lot can change in the next 1 to 2 months so let’s wait, see, and hope together! Summer is still young (technically it’s still spring) so we have time.
Thx all for the helpful details.
I will take the morning ferry to the island on June 15.
Anyone around? Meet you at Golden Beach.

Hi to all. Аnyone have new information about ferries? We have a trip on June 18 and I heard that the ferries only run at 30% capacity which leaves a lot of people waiting and some can’t get on all day. I wonder if I should book tickets in advance? What do you think?
That is fake news. The ferries run all the time and the official capacity at the moment is 50% Very soon that is going to stop as well. Nobody has to wait long for the next ferry. There are more than 20 runs a day from Keramoti to Thassos at the moment and that number is going to increase as more people are allowed to enter the island. You better get your information from go-thassos. Good or bad news, you will be able to read them there.

Hi Cene
As Gregory said that is simply not true. Could you please tell us where you heard that?
