PANAGIA

This village is named after the Virgin Mary, and probably not coincidentally! Panagia is a place blessed with natural beauties, but also with people who know how to honor the meaning of hospitality. One of its insurmountable natural beauties is the cave of Drakotripa that will convulse you with its stalactites and stalagmites. Large platans in the village square, running water and traditional taverns that treat visitors homemade spoon sweets, offer the visitor not one, but endless beautiful experiences!

It is worth visiting the church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary, with its unique architecture, that attracts a lot of people, especially during the celebration of the Assumption on the 15th of August! According to many people, the best beach of the island is located in Skala Panagia and is known as Golden Beach, which every visitor to the island of Thasos is advised to take a plunge into its deep blue waters and stick with its golden sand!!
