If you’re searching for a destination that blends stunning scenery with genuine Greek charm, Thassos is hard to beat. It’s a place where you can slow down, explore freely and enjoy a more peaceful side of Greece. It’s one of Greece's best-kept secrets! 

Where is Thassos? 

Thassos sits in the northern Aegean Sea, just off Greece’s mainland. Unlike some other Greek islands, you can’t fly directly there, so you’ll need to take a short ferry from the mainland, which adds to its off-the-beaten-path charm. 

Getting there 

On a Jet2holiday to Thassos, you’ll fly into Kavala International Airport, then take a ferry across to the island. The crossing is around 40 minutes long, so you can take in the sea views and be there in what feels like no time. 

The best beaches 

After golden beaches with calm, shallow water? You’ve come to the right place here! Thassos is famous for its stunning coastline, and there’s a whole host of sandy spots to choose from. Some of the highlights include: 

Golden Beach – long, sandy and family-friendly 

Marble Beach – unique white pebbles and turquoise water 

Paradise Beach – exotic scenery and shallow waters 

Whether you prefer secluded coves or vibrant beach bars, there’s something for everyone.

Food and drink
