Live like a local...

AEOLIS THASSOS PALACE promises its guests memorable Mediterranean holidays. Our experienced staff at the reception will make every possible effort to respond to your personal requirements.

In the summer, the Greek social life starts with peaceful mornings, followed by a short rest, so most people visit the beaches. Late in the afternoon, when the weather gets cooler, the Greeks start enlivening the port with their long walks, meeting friends and exchanging the latest news. Bed time is usually transferred to the morning hours of the next day.

In the very popular ‘tavernas’ you may order a variety of dishes from international and local cuisine. The latter includes all kinds of meat and fish barbecued, fried calamari and mussels, octopuses dried in the sun, several kinds of fresh fish, as well as a variety of salads. The meals can be accompanied with ouzo or local wine. The morphology of the island’s ground, its lush forests and, of course, the sea create ideal conditions for summer holidays, relaxation and resting. For this reason, the island has been characteristically named, such as “Cloudless”, obviously due to its clear blue sky, “Charming” and “Sweet” for the pleasures it offers generously to its visitors, “Golden” for the abundance of its products, and finally “Airy” for its clean and cool breeze.
