Has anyone ever been to the island of Thassos?
I am looking for first hand reviews of the island, what is there to do food and drink etc.

Thassos is increasingly popular. Even the Greeks had not discovered it for some time but this last summer the island very nearly went underwater - a lot of people went.
Take care because one side of the island is magical and the other is simply burned. You want to book the good side.
Avoid Limenas (or Thassos or Chora - they all are the same town) because it is too touristy. It is better to go to Limenaria.
The food is lovely and there is always fresh fish. Nevertheless it won't hurt to ask if it really is fresh.
There is not much to do in terms of nightlife but people usually go to Thassos to relax. There are some bars though and the good thing is that there are no hustlers outside (yet).
Have a great time.

Thassos is a vacations island with spectacular views of sunrise and sunset.
It used to be all covered with beautiful secular pines but a big fire destroyed most of it. However it still is very nice; lovely tavernas on the beach, variety of food, fresh fish, shells and lobster every day, good meats, good wine.
Decent night life until dawn.
Good choice!
p.s. How did you find out about Thassos? I thought only Greeks knew about it!...
