The climate in Thassos is healthy and balanced, as Hippocrates himself, the founder of medicine as a science and the most famous Greek physician, wrote during his three-year stay on the island at the end of the 5th century BC.

Due to its northern position, tropical temperatures as in some southern Greek islands have not been recorded. Thassos is also protected from strong winds, which is a characteristic problem of most Greek islands. Even if there is a breeze, it’s a pleasant, slow, refreshing breeze. As a rule, the air is never saturated with salt and moisture, and it does not happen that during warm summer evenings you cannot breathe and that everything that is left outside during the night until the morning is still wet. Due to its special freshness and purity of air Thassos was famous in ancient times.
