The village of Teologos is situated 10 km northeast of Potos, at an altitude of 220 m.
Until the middle of the last century, Teologos was the capital, or the political and economic center of the island. Today it is the political seat of Potos, Astris, and Kinira. Unlike other mountain villages, Teologos is still a lively village today, with a large number of inhabitants. The school currently has about 80 students, almost half of whom are children from Albanian families. Teologos covers approximately two-thirds of the total area of the island.
About the village of Teologos:
Location: 10 km from Potos, mountain village
History: former capital of the island of Thassos
Ambience: traditional houses, stone streets, authentic atmosphere
Sights: Church of Saint Dimitrios, museum, waterfall Kefalogourna
Village description:
Teologos is definitely one of the most beautiful places on the island and should be visited. The first thing you will notice are the narrow streets and houses in traditional Macedonian style with stone roofs. This unusual village represents a significant cultural capital, so the construction of new and reconstruction of old houses is limited and must be within the standards for preserving the cultural and historical values of the village.
Sights:
In the center of the village, there is a church built in 1803. It is dedicated to Saint Dimitrios. It is known for its wooden iconostasis decorated with colorful carvings. It was made for a long time and depicts scenes from the New and Old Testaments. Near the church, there is also a museum of folk art.
Gastronomy and experience:
The simplicity of life that permeates this place, as well as the spirit of traditional Greek culture, will surely leave a strong impression on you. To enhance your stay here, we recommend trying the local lamb in one of the local taverns, along with homemade wine. Famous for its good lamb, there is the Iatrou (Kleoniki) tavern, run by the well-known Kostas - Brke, as our tourists like to call him. It is precisely because of the good lamb and the “Greek nights” held at the Augustos restaurant that the majority of tourists come to this village.

Sve preporuke! Selo je prelepo, ima dosta tavernica, mi smo išli u Iatrou i prezadovoljni smo, osoblje je izuzetno ljubazno, ambijent je prijatan i hrana je odlična.

Nasuprot ovim komentarima imam pozitivno mišljenje o Teologosu. Pre svega, svidelo mi se ovo staro selo koje je nekad bilo najrazvijenije još iz Turskog doba. Mnogo starih, kamenih kuća, većinom napuštenih. Maslinjaci, stada ovaca, zvuk zrikavaca… Porcija jagnjetine dovoljne količine. Vrlo ukusno, mlada jagnjetina( valjda smo imali sreće). Jedan dan u središnjem Tasosu pa povratak u Potos na našu plažu. Tri nedelje nezaboravnog letovanja☀️

E, ovako. Ove godine smo prvi put bili na Tasosu. Odusevljeni i Potosom gde smo bili smesteni i svim plazama okolo. Po preporuci, zaputili se u Teologos u obilazak ali i na cuvenu jagnjetinu. Iskreno, selom nisam nista ni manje ni vise bila odusevljena od ostalih. Mislim da su price oko njegove lepote prenaduvane. Selo jeste lepo ali pricati o tome da je iskonska lepota je, po meni, bezveze. Svratili smo kod cuvenog Brke (Iatroy restoran) na rucak/veceru. Jako ljubazni i predusretljivi konobari. Porucili smo po porciju jagnjetine i porciju jaretine. Grcka salata pride koja je bila preukusna. Hrana je stigla vec posle 10 min. Jagnjetinom nisam bila bas odusevljena jer iskreno nije bas ni bila mlada, ali zato jaretinom jesam. Moj savet je da narucite jaretinu jer je divnog ukusa a i savrseno spremljena. Elem, sveukupan dozivljaj je itekako pokvario roj osica koju su nas napale istog trena kad je stigla hrana. Trebao si da uzivas u hrani a istovremeno si vodio racuna da ti bebu u kolicima ne pojedu osice koje su konstantno letele oko nas. Pokusali su konobari da "srede" situaciju ali bezuspesno. Kad su stigli drugi gosti i njihova hrana, roj se preselio kod njih pa smo mi mogli da odahnemo (ali tad smo mi vec zavrsili sa jelom). Sve u svemu, vredi posetiti ali komotno mozete i neki drugi restoran da izaberete.

Theologos was on our list of must-see places. We decided to visit it during the day. It is a picturesque village, authentic and notable. A real Greek spirit prevails. We wanted to try the local specialty and sought for a place to have lunch and enjoy the lamb. They invited us in one of the family-run taverns and offered a price for the family. We ended up in a beautiful setting of a traditional tavern with a large plate of lamb, greek salad, ouzo, large prtion of potatoes, bread and olives, and we payed only 20 euros. We couldnt eat it all. The scenery was great. We were very satisfied.

Experience reall "Greek night" in Theologos.
There is a great antique shop in Theologos with old jewellery, coins and other items.
Shoemaking shop is also an interesting shop to see (Eleni Papoutsi).
Don't miss Avgustos Tavern (best prices for lamb there).
Selo Teologos svakako treba obici...Evo i zbog cega... [attachment=1022]Slika2780.JPG[/attachment] [attachment=1023]Slika2796.JPG[/attachment] [attachment=1024]Slika2797.JPG[/attachment] [attachment=1025]Slika2798.JPG[/attachment] [attachment=1026]Slika2799.JPG[/attachment]
Prvi put smo obišli selo Teologos 2006. godine, prilikom našeg drugog letovanja na Tasosu. Zapucali smo tamo sa namerom da probamo jagnjetinu kod čuvenog, brkatog Koste. Evo kakvi su moji utisci tada bili - citiram deo iz svog putopisa "Drugi put na Tasosu":
[b][color=#0000ff][size=5]Jagnjetina u planinskom selu Teologos[/size][/color][/b]
Do planinskog sela Teologos, udaljenog nekih desetak kilometara od Potosa, stigli smo lokalnim autobusom, u koji smo ušli na centralnoj potoskoj raskrsnici. Planirali smo da probamo jagnjetinu u čuvenom restoranu „Kod Koste“, ali restoran takvog naziva nismo uspeli da pronađemo. Kasnije, po povratku u Pefkari, saznali smo da se Kostin restoran zapravo zove „Iatroy“, ali ipak nismo ponovili odlazak u Teologos, već smo to ostavili za neko od narednih letovanja. Inače, kako Kostin restoran nismo našli, seli smo u baštu prvog restorana koji nam se učinio pristojnim (naziv nisam zapamtila). Naručili smo dve porcije jagnjetine, salate, piće i po preporuci konobara pomfrit pride. Doneli su nam dva velika ovala prepuna mesa, ali po mojoj proceni ne baš mladog jagnjeta, već nekog jagnjeta u pubertetu, da ne kažem baš odrasle ovce i naravno pomfrit (što znači da nam je extra naručeni pomfrit bio višak). Meso nije bilo Bog zna kako ukusno i bilo ga je previše (za četu vojnika). Polovina jedne porcije bi nam bila sasvim dovoljna. Cene u restoranu takođe nisu bile male, posebno kada se uzme u obzir da je obedovalo samo nas dvoje i da je više od pola svega naručenog ostalo. Nepotrebno veliki trošak za hranu koja nam se čak nije ni dopala. Nebitno, svaka škola se plaća, pa i ova.
