Hotel Villa Nisteri Beach Thassos Town

... at a nearby restaurant after the beach. I have a dish of spring rolls – and they are superb!



The day tomorrow is very promising as well…..! A summer day again. We don't plan to have any trips, but just go down to the beach. I have chosen a great coast for tomorrow, and I am looking forward to it.

... a completely different picture. The umbrellas and seats stand on the beach and remain empty. It is as if they are calling for company.





Anyway, I feel so privileged being out here!

Most of my friends are back to work, and I am still enjoying my summer holidays. What else could I want!

PANAGIA VILLAGE THASOS



This beautiful village is situated a few kms south of Thasos Town (Limenas).

It is a traditional village with rich history and it is one of the richest villages of the Island. It has become the capital of the island after the revolution in 1821.

Why should I expect to find things as I had left them so many years ago?

The scenery up the mountains are indeed more than my expectations.
From up here we can see Kavala, and Keramoti, and the whole coast.
The drive up here is pleasant, having the two friends talking about their past.

Unfortunately, another closed Monastery. It seems that we are not wellcomed at Monasteries.
It is the wrong timing actually! Again it is 2.15 pm and the monasteries are closed.

Ok, the pictures talk for themselves. No need to comment more.

... photos of the old village with its stone built houses, some very old stables, as well as photos of some new buildings.



There are goats scattered all over the nearby hills with their bells ringing! A real Greek village indeed. But I have already missed the beach so much, so off we go…..

ARCHANGEL GABRIEL MONASTERY



This is the 5th day of our trip, and luckily the weather is much better.

Although there are some clouds in the sky, yet I decide to take our swimming suits along, because I have heard that by noon we are going to have sun.



We visit the Monasteryof Archangel ...
