Limenaria
Λιμενάρια
The second-largest town on Thasos's southwest coast. A mansion called the Palataki, left by a 19th-century German mining company, overlooks the harbour, and the seafront is lively at night.
Limenaria is Thasos's second-largest town. In the late 19th century the German Speidel company mined zinc here, leaving behind mining remains and a manager's residence called the 'Palataki' (little palace), built on a high headland. After restoration it can be viewed from the outside over the harbour. The town has a long beach, a seafront promenade and many restaurants and bars, and a modern sculpture group of sea gods stands by the sea, making the evenings very lively. Nearby, the Vouves open-pit mine and old mine tracks offer short hikes. The town is one of the main accommodation choices on the south coast and is well connected by road.
