If you want to have a nice panoramic view of the whole island, you should definitely go to the Ypsarion. Fantastic paths and impressive rock formations make this hike an absolute highlight. After the hike, you can fill your stomach and enjoy a cold drink in the town of Thasou. We ate it at To Tavernaki taverna and were not disappointed. The moussaka was to die for!
