Limenaria

Limenaria is a coastal town on the island of Thassos in the northern Aegean Sea, Greece. Located on the island's eastern coast, it is one of the larger residential and tourist centers of Thassos, known for its long sandy beach and waterfront promenade lined with tavernas, cafes, and small shops. The town sits beside a sheltered bay and rises into low hills inland, giving visitors both sea views and access to surrounding olive groves and pine forests.

Historically, Limenaria developed from a small fishing village into a year-round settlement that expanded with tourism in the mid-20th century. Today, the local economy depends largely on tourism, with accommodations ranging from family-run guesthouses to small hotels, along with fishing and agricultural activities in the hinterland.

In addition to its beaches, Limenaria serves as a transportation and service hub for the east coast of Thassos, with road links to Limenas (Thassos Town) and other villages. The island is connected to the Greek mainland by ferries from Keramoti and Kavala, and visitors typically travel by car or bus along the coastal road.

Cultural life focuses on seasonal events, seaside tavernas, and religious festivals local to island life; the town also serves as a base for travelers exploring Thassos’s natural attractions, including nearby coves, hiking paths, and viewpoints.
