Thasos
Thasos or Thassos (Greek: Θάσος, Thásos) is a Greek island in the
North Aegean Sea. It is the northernmost major Greek island, and Thasos
12th largest by area. Περιφερειακή Ενότητα / Δήμος
Θάσου
The island has an area of 380 km2 and a population of about 13,000.
It forms a separate regional unit within the East Macedonia and Regional unit
Thrace region. Before the local administration reform of 2011, it was
part of the Kavala Prefecture. The largest town and the capital is
Thasos, officially known as Limenas Thasou, "Port of Thasos",
situated on the northern side. It is connected with the mainland by
regular ferry lines between Keramoti and Thassos town, and between
the regional centre of Kavala and Skala Prinou.

The most important economic activity on the island is tourism. The

main agricultural products are honey, almonds, walnuts, olives (such
as the local Throumba variety which has a protected designation of
Limenas (port) of Thasos, capital of the
origin), olive oil, and wine. The inhabitants also engage in fishing, island
and in the herding of sheep and goats.

Antiquity
The island was colonised at an early date by Phoenicians, attracted
probably by its gold mines; they founded a temple to the god Melqart,
whom the Greeks identified as "Tyrian Heracles", and whose cult was
merged with Heracles in the course of the island's Hellenization.[6] The
temple still existed in the time of Herodotus.[7] An eponymous Thasos or
Thasus, son of Phoenix (or of Agenor, as Pausanias reported) was said to
have been the leader of the Phoenicians, and to have given his name to
the island.[8]
Plan of Thasos
Around 650 BC, or a little earlier, Greeks from Paros founded a colony on
Thasos.[9] A generation or so later, the poet Archilochus, a descendant of
these colonists, wrote of casting away his shield during a minor war
against an indigenous Thracian tribe, the Saians.[10] Thasian power, and
sources of its wealth, extended to the mainland, where the Thasians
owned gold mines even more valuable than those of the island; their
combined annual revenues amounted to between 200 and 300 talents.
Herodotus says that the best mines on the island were those opened by
the Phoenicians on the east side of the island, facing Samothrace.
Archilochus described Thasos as "an ass's backbone crowned with wild Ancient Agora of Thasos

wood." The island's capital, Thasos, had two harbours. Besides its gold
mines, the wine, nuts and marble of Thasos were well known in antiquity.
[8] Thasian wine was quite famous. Thasian coinage bore images of the

wine-god Dionysos and grape bunches.[11]

During the Ionian revolt against Persia, Thasos was under Persian
domination. After the capture of Miletus (494 BC), Histiaeus, the Ionian
leader, laid siege to Thasos, without success. In response, the Thasians
built warships and strengthened their fortifications, but this provoked
the suspicions of Darius I of Persia, who compelled them to surrender
City walls of Thasos
their ships and pull down their walls.[12] After the defeat of Xerxes I the
Thasians joined the Delian League but left in a disagreement over their
mainland mines and markets.[8]

The Athenians eventually defeated Thasos' navy, and took the capital
after a two-year siege. The Thasians were made to destroy their walls,
surrender their ships and their mainland possessions, and pay a regular
indemnity. In 411 BC, during a period of political instability at Athens,
Thasos accepted a Lacedaemonian governor; but in 407 BC the partisans
of Lacedaemon were expelled, and the Athenians under Thrasybulus
were admitted.[8] Silver tritartemorion struck in Thasos
c. 411–404 BC. Satyr on the obverse
After the Battle of Aegospotami (405 BC), Thasos again fell into the and dolphins on the reverse
hands of the Lacedaemonians under Lysander but the Athenians must
have recovered it, for it formed one of the subjects of dispute between
them and Philip II of Macedonia. In the embroilment between Philip V of Macedonia and the Romans,
Thasos submitted to Philip, but received its freedom at the hands of the Romans after the Battle of
Cynoscephalae (197 BC), and it was still a nominally "free" state in the time of Pliny.[8]

Excavations of various island sites between March and May 1887 by Theodore and Mabel Bent uncovered an
'Arch of Caracalla', and the collapsed remains of a unique portrait-statue of the emperor Hadrian's wife, the
empress Flavia Vibia Sabina, with an inscription dedicated to her as a "high priestess".[13][14]

Thasos was part of the Eastern Roman Empire, now known as the
Byzantine Empire, from 395 on. According to the 6th century
Synecdemus, it belonged to the province of Macedonia Prima, although
the 10th century De thematibus claims that it was part of Thracia.[15] The
island was a major source of marble until the disruption of the Slavic
invasions in the late 6th/7th centuries, and several churches from Late
Antiquity have been found on it.[15] The island remained in Byzantine
hands for most of the Middle Ages. It functioned as a naval base in the
13th century, under its own doux, and came briefly under the rule of the
Byzantine church in Thasos
Genoese Tedisio Zaccaria in 1307–13. Returning to Byzantine control, its
bishopric was raised to an archdiocese by Manuel II Palaiologos. Thasos
was captured by the Genoese Gattilusi family c. 1434, who surrendered it to the Ottoman Empire in 1455.[15]
Following the Ottoman conquest of the Despotate of the Morea in 1460, the former Despot Demetrios
Palaiologos received lands on the island.[15]

It is related that the Byzantine Greek Saint Joannicius the Great (752–846) in one of his miracles freed the
island of Thasos from a multitude of snakes.

Ottoman era
Thasos was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1456.[16] Under Ottoman rule, the island was known in
Ottoman Turkish as ‫ ﻁﺎﺷﻮﺯ‬- Taşöz. Between 1770 and 1774, the island was briefly occupied by a Russian fleet.
By this time its population had gravitated to the inland villages as a protective measure.[17] Nearly 50 years
later, a revolt against Ottoman rule arose in 1821, at the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence, led by
Hatzigiorgis Metaxas, but it failed. The Ottoman Census of 1831 states that the island was populated
exclusively by Greeks and that there were 1,821 Greek males fit to fight. This register excluded women,
orphans, Christians below the age of puberty, the mentally or physically incapacitated as well as high-
ranking officials, so the actual population would have been over double this.[18]

The island had been given in 1813 by the Sultan Mahmud II to the Ottoman Albanian ruler Muhammad Ali
of Egypt as a personal fiefdom, as a reward for his intervention against the Wahhabites. The island had
functioned as the chief centre of recruitment for Albanians who entered the Egyptian civil service, until 1912.
[19] On 20 October 1912 during the First Balkan War, the Greek navy invaded Thasos and annexed it into

Greece after more than 350 years of Ottoman Turkish rule.

Modern era
During the Axis occupation (April 1941 – October 1944) Thasos, along
with the region of East Macedonia and Thrace, was assigned by the Nazis
to their Bulgarian allies. The Bulgarian government renamed the island
"Tasos" and closed its schools. Thasos' mountainous terrain facilitated
resistance activity, mainly led by the left-wing National Liberation Front
(EAM). After the end of the war and the withdrawal of Axis troops in
1944, the island was caught up in the Greek Civil War. The leader of the
communist naval faction, Sarantis Spintzos, was a native of Thasos.[20] Limenaria in 1950s
Skirmishes and communist guerilla attacks continued until 1950, almost
a year after hostilities had ended on the Greek mainland.

In the post-war decades, another native of Thasos, Costas Tsimas, was to attain national recognition; a friend
of Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou, he was appointed Director of the National Intelligence Service, the
first civilian to hold that post.

Thasos, the capital, informally known as Limenas, or "the port", is served by a ferry route to and from
Keramoti a port close to Kavala International Airport, and has the shortest possible crossing to the island.
Scala Prinos 20 km south of Thassos town is served by a ferry route to and from Kavala.

Administration
Thasos is a separate regional unit of the East Macedonia and Thrace region, and the only municipality of the
regional unit. As a part of the 2011 Kallikratis government reform, the regional unit Thasos was created out
of part of the former Kavala Prefecture.[21] The municipality, unchanged at the Kallikratis reform, includes a
few uninhabited islets besides the main island Thasos and has an area of 380.097 km2.[22] The province of
Thasos (Greek: Επαρχία Θάσου) was one of the provinces of the Kavala Prefecture. It had the same territory
as the present municipality.[23] It was abolished in 2006.

Geography
Thasos is located in the northern
Aegean sea approximately 7 km
(4 mi) from the northern mainland
and 20 kilometres (12 miles) south-
east of Kavala. It is of generally round
shape, without deep bays or
significant peninsulas. The terrain is
mountainous but not particularly
rugged, rising gradually from coast to
centre. The highest peak is Ypsario
(Ipsario), at 1,205 metres (3,953
feet), somewhat east of centre. Pine Thasos from space, April 1993
forest covers much of the island's
Detailed map of Thasos eastern slopes.

Historically, the island's population was chiefly engaged in agriculture

and stockbreeding, and established villages inland, some of them connected via stairways (known as skalas)
to harbors at the shore. The local population gradually migrated towards these shoreline settlements as
tourism began to develop as an important source of income. Thus, there are several "paired villages" such as
Maries–Skala Maries, with the former inland and the latter on the coast.

Geology
The island is formed mainly by gneisses, schists and marbles of the
Rhodope massif. Marble sequences corresponding to the Falakro marbles
intercalated by schists and gneisses, are up to 500 m thick and are
separated from the underlying gneisses by a transition zone about 300 m
thick.

The rocks have undergone several periods of regional metamorphism, to at

least upper amphibolite facies, and there was a subsequent phase of
retrograde metamorphism. At least three periods of regional deformation
have been identified, the most important being large scale isoclinal folding
with axes aligned north-west. The T-zone is deformed and is interpreted by
some authors as a regional thrust of pre-major folding age. There are two
major high angle fault systems aligned north-west and north-east
Geological and Metallogenic respectively. A large low-angle thrust cuts the gneiss, schist and marble

overthrusting of the Serbomacedonian Massif onto the Rodope Massif.

The Late Miocene oil-producing Nestos-Prinos basin is located between Thassos island and the mainland.
The floor of the basin is around 1,500 m deep off the Thassos coast (South Kavala ridge; Proedrou, 1988) and
up to 4.000–5.000 m in the axial sector between Thassos and the mainland. The basin is filled with Late
Miocene-Pliocene sediments, including ubiquitously repeated evaporite layers of rock salt and anhydrite-

dolomite that alternate with sandstones, conglomerates, black shales, and uraniferous coal measures
(Proedrou, 1979, 1988; Taupitz, 1985). Stratigraphically equivalent rocks on the mainland are clastic
sediments with coal beds, marine to brackish fluvial units and travertines.

Mining history
The earliest mining on the island has been dated to around 13,000 BC, when paleolithic miners dug a shaft at
the site of the modern-era Tzines iron mine for the extraction of limonitic ochre.[24] Mining for base and
precious metals started around the 7th century BC with the Phoenicians, followed in the 4th century by the
Greeks, then the Romans. These later mines were both open-cast and underground, mostly to exploit the
island's numerous karst hosted calamine deposits for their lead and silver. Gold, copper and iron were also
found; the Byzantines quarried marble on the island.

In the early 20th century, mining companies (most notably the Speidel mining company) exploited the
island's zinc-lead rich calamine ores, with a yield of around 2 million tonnes, and a processing plant at
Limenaria produced zinc oxide. Iron ore was mined on a significant scale from 1954 to 1964, with a yield of
around 3 million tonnes. Since 1964, surveys have established the existence of a deep-level zinc-lead deposit,
but the only mining activity on the island has been marble quarrying.

which includes lead, zinc, and marble, especially in the Panagia area
where one of the mountains near the Thracian Sea has a large marble
quarry. The marble quarries in the south (in the area of Aliki), now
abandoned, were mined during ancient times.

Phoenicia generally, together with Thasos, the son of Agenor, in search of Europa, dedicated at Olympia
a Herakles, the pedestal as well as the image being of bronze. The height of the image is ten cubits, and
he holds a club in his right hand and a bow in his left. They told me in Thasos that they used to worship
the same Heracles as the Tyrians, but that afterwards, when they were included among the Greeks, they
adopted the worship of Heracles the son of Amphitryon."
7. Herodotus. Histories, 2.44. "In the wish to get the best information that I could on these matters, I made a
voyage to Tyre in Phoenicia, hearing there was a temple of Heracles at that place, very highly venerated.
I visited the temple, and found it richly adorned with a number of offerings, among which were two pillars,
one of pure gold, the other of smaragdos, shining with great brilliancy at night. In a conversation I held
with the priests, I inquired how long their temple had been built, and found by their answer that they, too,
differed from the Hellenes. They said that the temple was built at the same time that the city was
founded, and that the foundation of the city took place 2,300 years ago. In Tyre I remarked another
temple where the same god was worshipped as the Thasian Heracles. So I went on to Thasos, where I
found a temple of Heracles, which had been built by the Phoenicians who colonised that island when
they sailed in search of Europa. Even this was five generations earlier than the time when Heracles, son
of Amphitryon, was born in Hellas. These researches show plainly that there is an ancient god Heracles;
and my own opinion is that those Hellenes act most wisely who build and maintain two temples of
Heracles, in the one of which the Heracles worshipped is known by the name of Olympian, and has
sacrifice offered to him as an immortal, while in the other the honours paid are such as are due to a
hero."
