There are two available routes to the island of Thassos:
- Route from Kavala Port takes you to Skala Prinos Port at the north west side of the island
- Route from Keramoti Port takes you to Limenas Port, the capital of the island located at the north side of Thassos
Parking
There is no private parking at the house, nor is there any parking in front due to the main road. You can park your car in a public space in the next narrow street, 50 meters away (in the green marked area)…
…and in case there is no free space due to heavy tourist traffic, you can park a little further away, on the previous side road ~100m away (in the area marked in red)…
