Panagia
Παναγιά Θάσου
A traditional stone-roofed mountain village on the hillside of eastern Thasos, with a spring running through it. The blue-domed Church of the Assumption and its plane-tree square make the best photos.
Panagia is one of Thasos's most picturesque mountain villages, perched on a hillside about 9 km south of Limenas. Houses are built of local stone with slate roofs, and spring water trickles along the channels beside the streets. The plane-tree square at the centre is lined with traditional tavernas where you can taste grilled meats and local honey desserts. The 19th-century Church of the Assumption of the Virgin, with its striking blue dome, is the village landmark. From here you can look down over the bay of Golden Beach, and nearby trails lead to Drakos Cave and other sites. The village lanes are steep, so it's best to park at the entrance and explore on foot.
