Thasos is a cosmopolitan green island located in the North Aegean Sea that holds a wealth of history.
History goes back as far as ancient times. Thasos is girdled with myths. According to one of them, Zeus took shelter on Thasos after kidnapping the Phoenician queen, Europe. There is evidence of life even from prehistoric times. One can see the remains of walled coastal settlements at Limenaria, at Theologos and at Skala Sotiros. Ιn essence, however, the island's history begins with the arrival of the first Greek settlers from the island of Paros. In the beginning of the 7th century BC, Parians under Telesikli's command, who was poet Archilochos's father, settled the area round Limenas and established their capital named Thassos. The city spread out on the hillside with the citadel on top of the hill. Thassos expanded by creating new colonies on the opposite shore: Galipsos, Apollonia, Oisymi (Νea Peramos), Antisara (Kalamitsa), Neapolis (Κaνala), Pistyros and Topeiros. After Persians had passed through the island, it joined the Athenian alliance. Spartians took the city and ruined it. The King of Macedonia, Philip II annexed it to the Macedonian State. In Roman times, Thassos thrived, while in Byzantine times it was the target of Arabs, Genoans, Turks and Venetians. The last owners of the island, the Gattilusi family, yielded it up to the Turks. The Turks occupied it in 1479; from 1813 to 1902 the island was offered as a gift to Mehmet Ali, the founder of the Egyptian dynasty. Thassos was liberated from the Turkish yoke and was incorporated into the Greek State in 1912.
