History of Thassos
hassos has been chosen among the 100 places of high and archaeological interest in the Mediterranean.
The island is connected to the Greek myths and one of them says that god Zeus abducted the Phoenician princess Europe. Europe's prince Thassos started searching for her everywhere and during one of his trips he discovered this island and settled down here and the island was named after him.
The wonderful climate, the rich pinewoods and the white marble of Thassos attracted the Phoenicians to colonize it around 1.500 BC. Before the Phoenicians arrived, the Thracian had been the first inhabitants of the island. The human traces of life date back to 2.000 BC. Thassos was also the legendary land of the mythological Sirens.
The first Greek colonists of Thassos were the Parians, who came in 700 BC with their leader Telesicles, after they received an oracle from the temple of Apollo in Delphi. They mingled peacefully with the previous colonists and they became very powerful, especially in commerce and navigation.
The prosperity of the island was continued in the Roman years, when Thassos had many privileges in commerce and was almost independent. Examples of the architecture and crafts of the ancient Greek, Roman and early Christian period are exhibited in the museums and the archaeological sites of Thassos.
The island was one of the first places in Europe where Christianism spread.
