Thasos has other names that ancient poets and writers mentioned in their writings. So, Thassos called "Aeria", which translates as airy (presumably for a summer breeze at Thassos ). Chrysi is golden (for its fossils and marble), Etry is cloudless. One of the appropriate titles sounds like "Giving pleasure." If you disassemble the word Thassos etymologically, it is in tune with Drosos (in translation shady), because of the numerous trees and forests of the island. If you prefer the Greek myths, you can try to explain the name from this point of view. It is believed that the Thassos Island was opened by a person, a Phoenician, with a similar name. Without hesitation, he called this paradise island his name.
