KASTRO

Perhaps the oldest village on Thassos. Built on an inland peak, Kastro was totally abandoned apart from the church of St. Athanasios, who has always been the villagers’ guardian and patron saint. In recent years nearly all of its houses have been restored and the village relives its former glory every year on the feast day of St. Athanasios, 18 January, with a festival which starts on the day before and runs for three days. The landscape and flora are rich reward for those that take the trouble to visit.
