In this episode, we take you to Thassos, Greece’s Emerald isle in the Aegean. Arriving by ferry from Kavala in northern Greece, we explore an island of unforgettable colours… forest greens, blue seas and golden beaches. Famous since ancient times for its pure white marble, it continues to dazzle today, from its picturesque coastal and mountain villages to its olive groves and beehives. We explore the port Limenas’ cultural sites and archaeological museum, and we spoil you with beaches that rival each other for beauty … one boasting not one but two stretches of sand and an ancient marble quarry to explore. The best swimming spot of the lot? Without doubt, Giola Lagoon... you'll understand why. And we take you to the village square of Kastri, where Mr Kostas awaits you with a glass of tsipouro – but not before you’ve solved his riddles.
