Limenas Thassou (Port of Thassos), situated at the northern side, opposite the mainland and about 10 kilometres from Keramoti, is the capital and main town of the Thassou island, with a total of 4000 inhabitants. The current town, surrounded by the densely wooded pine green mountains, was built west from the ancient town. In and around Thasos, there are many ruins dating from antiquity. Most of the finds from local archaeological sites are on display at the Archaeological Museum of Thasos.
Limenas is unlike Potos and Limenaria, punctuated by the excavation of archaeological sites and during the light summer walks you can spot remains of gates of Zeus and Hera, the ancient amphitheater, the ancient Agora and the Acropolis. The town has shops, kiosks, stalls and even street vendors, supplying all the needs of the visitor. There are restaurants that cater for every single taste and pocket, in a wide range of prices.
