All the best bits of Thassos feature on this full day tour. Your guide will recount stories and myths as you traverse the countryside and coastline to the clifftop Archangel Michael monastery, Panagia, and Aliki – for its picture-postcard beach. It's a great way to see the island and the scenery is second to none.

Kick off at Archangel Michael, a 12th century working monastery perched on a cliff edge. Explore the icon-bedecked chapel and soak up the views over the Aegean – on a clear day you can see to Mount Athos, the holy mountain in mainland Greece. Next is Aliki, a beautiful promontory lined by beaches, where you'll have time for some strolling and sunning. We'll also pit stop in Faros for a chance to grab some lunch.

Then it's off to Panagia where you'll visit the blue-domed church as well as see the miniature canals carrying water from the mountains. We'll round off in breezy Thassos town and walk through the ancient marketplace, the centre of trade and politics of its time.

I enjoyed the tour from start to finish. The tour guide provided a lot of information about various places in both English and German which was impressive. I particularly enjoyed stopping at the Holy Monastery of the Archangel Michael and Aliki Archaeological Site. It was fantastic to learn more about Thassos and to see a working monastery. Loved Panagia and it was definitely worth stopping to explore. Guide Mariana and driver Stavros were brilliant.

Really enjoyed the day and seeing the Eastern part of the island. The lunch stop could have been better in Panagia though - far more choice and things to see.

Good tour of a beautiful island BUT coach was cramped and uncomfortable, too many stops. Places visited were overcrowded and nothing exceptional. Restaurant for lunch stop was in a fabulous location but food was mediocre - certainly not “best on the island” as sold to us!

It needs to be made clear that return times to coach need to be adhered to - we waited 2x10 minutes, 27 minutes and 20 minutes for errant guests to return after the designated time. The guide was becoming distraught. They should be left behind to make own way home. Spoiled the trip for everyone else.

Not enough time to go on the beach - as advertised to take beachwear but no point. Also, no mention of ladies having to wear long skirts. I wore trousers but had to borrow a skirt to put on as well to enter the monastery.

Really enjoyed the trip , lovely places visited. Useful information about places to go independently. Angela very knowledgeable and felt very safe with driver . Had a lovely day . Pick up and drop off went really well. Thank you Tui
