Docking
Port Thasos
There are two harbours here: the old harbour and the new port – Nea Limani – to the west. Both offer good protection.
The old harbour tends to be pretty full with local craft, all except the northern breakwater, suitable for smaller yachts. Most yachts, however, will probably have to anchor of with a long line ashore to avoid underwater rocks and get ashore by dinghy. There is water available on the quay.
Nea Limani (Limenias) to the west of the old harbour has berthing on both breakwaters and is where most visiting yachts tend to berth. Most of the time alongside berthing, or rafting, is possible here. If busy, yachts can go stern or bows-to in the SE corner of the quay where power and water are available.
Liminaria
This harbour is located on the SW corner of Thassos. A large new marina is currently under construction here, due for completion Spring 2018. While construction is on-going and there are no services available, it is possible to berth alongside sometimes.
