I went for the first time with Selena on 07/27/19 to the island of Thassos, and was completely delighted with the trip. After Accord and some other (I will not troll) operators, Selena pleasantly surprised me with an attentive and kind attitude towards tourists, a clear implementation of the program. Drivers know the road well, are polite, help with luggage. The guide Yulia Manischenkova told something interesting about the places where we passed all the way, and the time on the way did not seem difficult to us, but on the contrary, it was fun and with pleasure.
I want to note the excellent condition of the bus, a sufficient distance between the seats, in the luggage compartment, even on the way back, all bags with purchases fit without any problems.
The island of Thassos is simply a paradise. I was advised to choose the Philoxenia 2 * hotel, the hotel is very comfortable, clean, cleaned every day, the breakfasts are delicious and hearty. The rooms have good furniture and plumbing, everything is thought out, even ropes and clothespins for drying things, floor scales, a safe in the room is free, air conditioning worked fine.
The owner of the hotel is very pleasant and hospitable, gave us maps of the island and city bus schedules, showed us a video of the best beaches on the island and told us how to get there. So we went to a new place every day. The cost of a bus ticket is 2.10 euros one way, they run every hour.
The beach near us (near the port and our hotels) is ordinary, we went there for a swim in the morning before breakfast and sometimes in the evening or at night. And if you go to the left, you will see many different beautiful beaches from other hotels and bars. I recommend taking a walk along the coast. We never paid for an umbrella, we always found shade under the trees, there are enough of them on the island.
Don't take risks to get to the famous marble beach on foot 8 km, our friends tried). Very hot and dusty road. Guide Julia agreed with the locals and organized a transfer for us there for 20 euros. The place is amazing, you should definitely visit.
Take a mask with a snorkel with you on vacation, there is something to see: fish, corals, crabs, hermit crabs. Not Egypt, of course, but also beautiful. There are sea urchins on the rocks, they are not on the sandy beaches.
The water is very clean and transparent. The color of the water is azure blue. In early August, there was no sweltering heat, the island has a very comfortable climate, we spent almost the whole day on the beach (in the water and in the shade).
I recommend visiting the Greek party from the travel agency. It was delicious and fun.
In general, I really liked the atmosphere on this tour, light and joyful, as it should be on vacation. I made many new friends. With Selena I will definitely go somewhere else in the future and I advise you.
The island of Thassos and Greece will definitely not leave you indifferent.
