MARIES
An old hamlet, one of the oldest on the island, built over a wooded ravine.
It takes its name from two women, both named Maria, who according to legend
were the sole survivors of a pirate raid. The village in the past maintained
close ties with the monasteries of Athos, which owned a number of properties
here. The church is dedicated to the archangels and is
one of the oldest churches on Thassos. It is adorned with
many works created by monks. Above the village, climbing towards Mount
Ypsarion, you will come to a dense forest, a small artificial
lake, the road leading to the monastery of St. Panteleimon and
the path to the summit of Ypsarion, Theologos and Kastro.
