Travelling to Thassos under Coronavirus

Hi Georgi :slightly_smiling_face:

That’s a great question!

If you visit an unorganized beach (eg. one that doesn’t have sunbeds and umbrellas), it is advised that you practice social distancing in a responsible way. This means if you arrive at a beach and find it busy, choose a section with fewer people or continue along the coast and check if the next beach has more free space… we’ve got so many amazing beaches on Thassos to choose from so don’t you worry about not finding a beach with space. Keep a minimum distance of 2 meters from others, don’t gather in groups larger than 10 people, and all will be well in the eyes of the local authorities.

Hi Augie! Thank you for such a fast response! One more question. How is it with organized beaches? As we recall, there have always been so called free zones even on the organized beaches for the people that bring their own umbrellas and sunbeds or chairs.

There will still be ā€œfree zonesā€ on organized beaches (as you correctly recall) and the same social distancing rules will apply. Just act responsibly, use common sense, and remind other beach-goers of the rules if they get too close to you (less than 2 meters). :slightly_smiling_face:

@augie
From Romanian border until Keramoti we have a 7-8 hours journey. Many drivers preffer to cross Bulgaria at night and arrive at the ferry in the morning. I will do the same. Start traveling on 14 and arrive at the ferry 15 in the mirning. When is the first ferry? At what hour?

@adela

When do you plan to cross the border to BG? Do we travel at the same hours?

Hi Andrei :slightly_smiling_face:

The first ferry from Keramoti to Thassos will depart at 5:00 AM

Hi Andrei

Are you going to Skala Potamia or Golden Beach resort?

I have a photo that I was planning to deliver to Vangelis the owner at Flivos at Skala Potamia this month of a vehicle he owned 17 years ago.

Unfortunately UK residents are not allowed entry and my holiday has been cancelled. If you do attend can you obtain up to date email so I can send the photo or tell him to look at this site.

FLIVOS BMW 2005

Best regards Steve

Hi.

Yes. I go to Golden Beach every year. I don’t feel the need to change the place. :slightly_smiling_face:
I can go there and ask about the email address and show the photo. Especially because we talk about such a beautiful car. (Please pm me with more details about the car. Let’s not bother everyone with passion for cars. :grin:

Please tell me if is flivos or flisvos.
Take a look at the photo. Is this the place?
I see the photo is posted on google by Vangelis. Is this the right Vanghelis?

Hi All, Thanks for the updates, much appreciated!
We plan to come from Romania in beginning of August, and we are wondering what are the procedures if we get infected on the island or if some guest staying at our hotel gets infected. Are there quarantine hotels, will the entire hotel be under quarantine, are we allowed to leave or get stranded on the island for 2 additional weeks, who is paying these additional costs outside our control? Can one of the administrators elaborate of that are the local rules and regulations? We would like to come, but we want to asses what will happen if on the 2nd day of our stay a guest is found positive and we might find ourselves in some strange situation when we need to stay with the kids in a room no in or out for an extended period of time. Thank you!

To all those who might read this lines in time.
Status at the border in Makaza is very unplesant.
Greek border says we can enter greek territory only after 12.00 pm.
So not at midnight.

Many cars are already at the border and waiting to be allowed to enter Greece.
I hope the situation will change and I can come with another status.

Hi Andrei Yes that is the restaurant. Thanks Vangelis might give you a free drink. I hope you have a fantastic holiday.Best regards Steve.

Hi Andrei :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you for sharing the situation at the border this morning, today being the first day of re-opening. You must be very tired from the long drive but I think once you’re on Thassos everything will be ok. We’re waiting for you!!

Hi Andvarga :slightly_smiling_face:

Those are excellent questions that we will answer on Go-Thassos either today or tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Hi Andrei! Is the border open now? It’s past 12 noon so please give us an update if and when you can. Thanks! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi. I wrote but I had no signal.
At 12.00 border was open.
Now we have to wait for the ferry.
They don’t go from 30 to 30 min.
First one leaves at 13.45

Thanks, Andrei! :slightly_smiling_face:

So glad everything worked out even though you had this unexpected delay at the border.

Enjoy your beer and the ferry ride… the beach is waiting for you when you get here!

Welcome Andrei
Enjoy your stay and keep safe. We all hope that the island will offer to visitors the best of many seasons as the beaches will not be crowded and restaurants will be very happy to have you.

Hi Andrei, did you need to complete this form or any other in order to transit through Bulgaria?
