When a tourist is going to visit Thasos in the first place, he naturally desires to find out where this island is actually located.

Where is Thassos in Greece And it should be searched in the Northeast of Greece, closer to the border of this country with Bulgaria. On the south and south-west side of the island (for example, in Limenaria), in good weather one can see one of the fingers of Halkidiki - St. Athos.
