Linda killing time with an Amstel while watching the ferry unload at Keramoti docks.  There are loads of bars and tavernas just a few yards from the ferry landing stage.

Fantastic view from the top of Mount Ipsarion back over the narrow strip of sea separating Thassos from the mainland.  The small island in the middle distance is Little Thassos, and Keramoti Port is behind it on the mainland.

Close-up of Golden Beach.  Our studio is in the nearest of a block of three, towards the bottom of this picture, to the left of the main road leading into the village.  The camp site is the large rectangle of trees on the right next to the beach.  The tavernas, bars and supermarkets stretch from the camp site to the jetty in the centre of the picture.

A miracle!  A lake, well, all right, a large pond, on a Greek island!  By the side of the dirt track just after the village of Maries.

The lake is just downhill to the right as we pose in front of a row of beehives.  Honey is a very important crop on Thassos - it's sold everywhere.
