Before moving on to the details of our Thassos travel guide article and the highlights of the island, we would like to give you information about how you can reach the region.
It is extremely easy to reach this island from our country. While road options for transportation to this island include private cars and buses, there is an alternative to plane for air transportation. With these transportation options, you can come to a certain area and then go to the island by sea. However, when you choose the flight option, we would like to point out that there is no airport on the island. For this, you can choose the airports in the coastal city of Kavala or Thessaloniki. Since the airport in Thessaloniki is further from the location of the island, we recommend that you choose the other airport. After arriving at the airport in Kavala, you can walk to the port in the Keramoti region, located in the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Region of Greece, and take ferries from the port to reach the island. Visitors who plan to come with a private vehicle can use the navigation application to go to the Keramoti region or Kavala, and from there pass to the island by sea.
If you want to choose buses to reach Thassos Island, you can choose one of the bus companies that organize trips between Istanbul and Thessaloniki. However, we would like to point out that the best time to visit the island is spring and summer. There are more transportation alternatives, especially in summer. Since many tourists flock here during the summer, there is a significant increase in the population. If you want to have a quieter holiday, you can also choose spring or autumn.
