Welcome to Limenas – Thassos Town
Our branch office in Limenas – Thassos Town is located to the left of the port on the opposite side to the bus station, very close to where the ferries berth. Our rental office is perfectly placed for you to pick up your vehicle and continue on to your final destination without any fuss or problems.
We are open 7 days a week from 09:00 to 13:00 and from 17:00 to 21:00. After hours services are subject to a 15 euro charge and a pre-booking is required to collect your vehicle. In case of emergency, we provide 24/7 assistance on our emergency number 0030 698 301 48 99.
We try our best to make the pick-up and return of your vehicle as easy as possible whether you arrive at our office or need to be collected from your hotel and you can be sure of a punctual and personal service. Your clean and fully-maintained vehicle will be waiting for you when you arrive and returning your vehicle is a simple process too. We’ll even take you back to your hotel if required!
When collecting your vehicle please remember to have your documents, driving license and passport/ ID card with you. For those travelling with children we offer baby/child seats and boosters, please make sure that you tell us your needs at the time of booking.
We strongly recommend our customers to pre-book their vehicle at least 2-4 days before arrival especially during high season July/August when the availability can be very limited due to high demand.
When picking up your hire vehicle from Limenas – Thassos Town why not take the time to check out the island’s capital and its liveliest resort. Here you will find an excellent choice of restaurants, tavernas, bars, shops, supermarkets and amusements. The sunsets from either the old or new harbour are amazing and you will be spoilt for choice as to where to get the best experience.
In the town itself and just outside you will find a number of archaeological sites, a museum and just behind the old harbour you will find the first and most important site, the Agora (the Forum).
Just like in any larger town, there are numerous banks and plenty of doctors. Because of the town’s popularity, parking can be difficult so we recommend that you park in the large free car park situated just past the ferry port. It’s only a short distance by foot into the town from there.
