Easter in Thassos
“Your impressions” Ah, it’s not easy to write while soul hurts! :-)
We came back a week ago from Thassos. This Easter was the most beautiful than any other until now! :-) While we were at Thassos, I could not even dare to think of our many friends, who are in love with Thassos too - what do they think and how they feel when they know we are there …
Paxos and Antipaxos Islands

See places on this island from a different angle. I think you’ll get a better idea of the size and layout of the island.

Greek honey
Greece has more bee hives per hectare than any other country in Europe, and the Greek honey is considered one of the finest in the world.
This is mainly due to the great diversity of the Greek flora and many sunny days. As a proven high quality product it has a great reputation and as a prestigious product is available in 30 countries on five continents.
