\nFirst of all, a special gem of the island is the archaeological museum located in the capital, Limenas (Thassos Town). It boasts amazing collections which were found in Limenas and all around Thassos. This museum is curated by a knowledgeable team of people, passionate about their work and very happy to share their knowledge with you.<\/p>\n
The original museum was opened in 1934 and went through a major renovation and enlargement a few years ago. Today, thousands of visitors pass through it\u2019s doors to get a glimpse of the artifacts and collections which date from the 7th century BC up to the 7th century AD.<\/p>\n

\nThe museum is conveniently situated next to the fascinating archaeological site of the \u2018Agora\u2019 (Market), this was the center of athletic, artistic, spiritual, business and political life during ancient times.<\/p>\n
A short, but steep, walk from the museum takes you to the ancient amphitheater with it\u2019s spectacular views over Limenas and across to Kavala and the mainland, unfortunately it is fenced off for restoration at the moment but the views are still worth the walk. Further up the hill you can find other archaeological gems which were mainly places of worship.<\/p>\n
