Tour of Thassos’ mountain villages

Thassos mountain village tour with Mt Ipsarion

Climb into a comfy 4x4 with A/C and head off the beaten track into the rugged interior of Thassos. This is where the island sheds its beachside polish and reveals something wilder, rocky trails, dense forests, and pockets of rustic tradition. As the road climbs, you'll pass remote hamlets and mountain slopes with views that stretch far across the island. Local guide, Tina, say, "Your first stop is Kastro, a sleepy hilltop village that feels like it's been forgotten by time. Wander narrow stone lanes, visit the old church, and take in the raw, authentic charm of this hidden gem. Next, head to Panagouda Monastery, quietly nestled in the hills. It's home to Monk Epifanios, who's lived here alone for over 30 years. The setting is tranquil, stripped-back, and deeply rooted in the island's spiritual rhythm.Then it's up to Ipsarion, Thassos' highest peak at 1204 meters. The summit offers wide, open views across the island, the sea, and even the mainland on a clear day. On the way back down, stop for a simple snack among the trees. Finish the day with a visit to Maries Village, where you can stroll through quiet streets and relax in the main square, maybe catching the soft light of sunset before heading back.
