Limenas Old Harbour
Λιμένας Θάσου
The fishing harbour and seafront promenade of Limenas, the island capital of Thasos, lined with tavernas, with the remains of the ancient harbour's breakwater lying just underwater.
Limenas (Thasos Town) is the island's capital and main ferry port. The old harbour beside the ferry quay is a small bay where fishing boats and yachts moor. It was the naval harbour of ancient Thasos City, and remains of ancient breakwaters and city walls can still be seen at the water's edge. Along the harbour stands a row of seafood tavernas, cafés and ice cream shops, and sitting by the sea in the evening with grilled octopus and fried small fish is the island's most relaxing pastime. In the town's lanes you'll find souvenir shops selling local honey, walnut spread and other specialities. From here it's a short walk to the ancient agora, the museum and the Acropolis trail.
