Panagia is a picturesque mountain village at an altitude of 300 meters. It is located in the northeastern part of the island, 8 km from the port. After the revolution of 1821 it became the capital of the island and took its name from the name of the church. It was reorganized in the last 300 years when the inhabitants of the port were forced to leave the coast and hide in the mountains due to the attacks of the pirates. 900 residents live there today. In the past it even had its own currency, the Bakir, which you can see in the village church.

Paradise Beach is one of the most popular beaches of Thassos. The name comes from the exotic beauty and the forest that surrounds it. It is located in the eastern part of Thassos, 22 km from the port. The nearest village to the beach is Kinira, just 2 km away.

It is a popular destination, with shallow and clear water, organized with sunbeds and umbrellas and rewarded with a blue flag. It takes its name from the color of the sand under the summer sun. It is also known as Aylakia or Skala Panagia.

He was born in this village in 1892 but emigrated in 1911 in the US, where he excelled in painting and sculpture. He died in 1965.

Palataki (=Small Palace) belongs to the Mining Group of Thassos and was built in the early 1900s by the Italian architect Pietro Arigoni. It is considered one of the most impressive of all administrative buildings of the Aegean islands. The original owner was German Speidel, owner of the homonymous mining company, which was brought to Thassos to inaugurate the modern period of the island's mining activity. The building originally served as a residence and later it housed the offices of the company. It is located on a hill above the old metal factory in Limenaria.

Experts consider it one of the most important European industrial monuments, corresponding to the ones in Sardinia (Italy), Mancha (Spain), Indra (Slovenia), Ruhr (Germany), Le Creusset (France) and the Iron Bridge (Great Britain). It was made by the German company "Minengeselischaft Fr. Spidel" in 1903. During the First World War, in 1916, the premises were occupied by French troops so a part of it was destroyed. In 1925 the new company that managed the premises restored and expanded the factory.

The ancient theater is built in a natural hollow part of the hill and based on Hippocrates, it dates back to the 5th century B.C. At the beginning of the 3rd century B.C. the stage was built with a marble facade. The front part of the stage was made by Thasian Afsistratos (son of Kodi) to honor Dionysus. In ancient years, the theater was used for theatrical and musical performances. Later, in Roman times, the orchestra and the seats were renewed but in several seats you can still see the engraved names of the people who held these positions.
