Skala Maries to the southwest of the island is a picturesque fish village built amphitheatrically over a creek with a small harbor, where local fishermen tie their boats. Its small port is offered for relaxing walks, while in the nearby tavernas you can enjoy fresh fish. Various cultural events are organized here during summer. In coordination with neighboring villages, a carnival parade is organized in the village on Lent Monday. Distances from the most important sites in Thassos are relatively small in order to combine your summer holiday with visits to historic sites and sites that are famous for their landscapes. Aliki, the monastery of Archangel Michael, the natural pool of Gkiola and dozens of beaches for all tastes are situated a few kilometers away.
