Thásos
Greece Hotels
Area of island: 379 sq. km/146 sq. mi
Altitude: 1,203m/3,947ft.
Chief town: Thásos (Liménas)
Thásos, an attractive and fertile island, well watered in the north and east, lies just off the eastern Macedonian coast in the northern Aegean, here called the Sea of Thrace (where deposits of oil have recently been found). It is occupied by a range of wooded hills rising to 1,203m/3,947ft in Mt Ypsári and slashed by deep valleys. The northern and eastern slopes fall steeply down to the sea; on the south and west sides the hills slope down more gradually, forming numerous deep sandy bays along the coasts. The island's income comes from farming, mining (copper, zinc) and increasingly from the tourist trade
