Luxury holidays to Thassos

Ribbons of golden sands and the finest Greek cuisine are yours in Thassos

Flight times from the UK to mainland Greece average just over three hours. From there you’ll embark on a short 45-minute ferry ride across to Thassos island, ensuring that visitors here enjoy a truly private escape.

The Greek Islands are the epitome of luxury – and Thassos is no exception. Holidays here are typically very relaxed affairs, with time spent reclining on sun-drenched beaches with a cocktail in hand. In the evening, a fantastic selection of traditional Greek tavernas specialise in serving local delicacies with a fine dining twist.

The hotels in Thassos vary greatly with regard to style and design, yet secluded pools and spa and wellness centres are common features across the board. Choose somewhere slightly off the beaten track for a peaceful getaway beyond the stresses and strains of everyday life.

Living the high life in Thassos

If fine dining is your thing, head to the vibrant area of Potos, home to some of the most luxurious fine dining venues that Greece has to offer. Try beachside gastronomic delights at Psili Ammos Restaurant, or be treated to the highest quality local cuisine at Taverna Irene.

Backed by mountains and boasting a winding, golden coastline, Golden Beach is the picture of tranquility and the perfect choice if your idea of a luxury escape is unwinding in the sun away from the crowds. No matter where you stay, however, make sure that a visit to Thassos Town is on your list. This ancient harbour town is as picturesque as they come, with boutiques selling finely crafted jewellery and leather goods lining the narrow, cobbled streets.
