Aegean Sea

It's no secret that those who visited Thassos at least once, if there is something to compare, they call the sea the best and cleanest here

Why is called Aegean

The Aegean Sea is named after the god called Aegeus, who tossed into the waters of this place after he thought, that his son was dead. And the son, as it turned out, returning home by sea, simply forgot to change mourning sails to victorious, which led to a misunderstanding and another vain death in the myths of ancient Greece.

The color and purity of the sea

Greece is washed by several seas, Thassos in this regard was lucky. The Aegean Sea is clean and transparent like no other, has different gradients of shades: turquoise, green, blue, blue - all within one bay or beach. Of course, color largely depends on the bottom - sand or stone.
