Theologos
Θεολόγος Θάσου
A historic inland mountain village in the south of Thasos, the island's capital under Ottoman rule, known for its stone-roofed old houses and tavernas serving spit-roasted lamb.
Theologos lies in a valley in southern Thasos, about 10 km from the sea. It was built inland to escape pirates and served as the island's capital during Ottoman rule. Along the main street stand many 18th- and 19th-century stone houses with heavy grey slate roofs, some of which now house a folk museum displaying local costumes and household items. The village's traditional tavernas are famous for charcoal-grilled whole lamb and roast suckling pig, and visitors touring the island often stop here specifically for a meal. During the August folk festival, traditional wedding performances are staged.
