In a distance of 3 klm from Skala Prinou, we find Skala Sotira, built along a beautiful and peaceful beach. An installation of bathhouse dated back to the later roman times was discovered here. Under the church courtyard remain ruins of a prehistoric settlement that date back to the early copper age.

Kalirachi-Skala Kalirachi

Kalirachi is one of the oldest villages in Thassos. The highland Kalirachi was built when the inhabitants left the old village “Kaki Rachi” during the years when the pirates’ threat was eliminated. It is situated in a beautiful site on a hills’ slope, among olive trees. The houses are built according to the traditional Thassian architecture, where most characteristic are the narrow serpentine streets of the village (in which you can hardly pass by car), ideal for walking. It is definitely one of the most picturesque villages on Thassos.
