Ancient Agora of Thasos - P. Mela

Not to be missed in any tour of the old city of Thasos. Free entrance and a lot of interesting ruins to be viewed. Can be considered a big Park in the centre of the old city next to the port. Too bad is not advertised bybthe municipality.

Great site. You should visit it together with the museum next to it to have a better understanding of what was once there. We first thought that is was a temple, but after the museum we realized that it was actually a small village, with temples surrounding it.

Known as the Forum in the Roman period, this was the most important area within the ancient walled city.This was where all the major civic buildings were situated and where much of the daily life of the citizens was focused.

It could be beautiful place but it's very scruffy. Its a great pity

It is a very beautiful and peaceful place with three huge oak trees in the middle. Unfortunately it is abandoned. The entrance around the information board is full of garbage and I got bit by fleas on the way to the oaks.

Large historical site, unfortunately unloved and overgrown. A little care and information and this could be a really good attraction.

A great objective for both tourists and specialists. With impressive dimensions, it is located right in the center of Limenas, near the marina. Access is via several points, but in the ones near the port a number of steps must be lowered, a testimony of the orogenic movements suffered by the island's soil over the centuries. Paved roads, access gates, temple ruins, stone thresholds, blunted away by the footsteps of thousands of ancient passers-by, stones cut with unexplained holes for today, a Conservatory for music, drainage channels (carved in stone) of rain water, columns and stone arrangements whose functionality we can not guess, all this Agora offers us. Some stones ... But these stones give us an image, alive today, of the complexity and amplitude of the life of those who inhabited the island in antiquity. Some primitives who were carving their lives for eternity... Un obiectiv minunat, atât pentru turiști, cât și pentru specialiști. Cu dimensiuni impresionante, este amplasat chiar în centrul capitalei Limenas, lângă portul marina. Accesul se face prin mai multe puncte, dar în cele aflate lângă port trebuie coborâte un număr de trepte, mărturie a mișcărilor orogenice suferite de solul insulei în decursul veacurilor. Drumuri pavate, porți de acces, ruine de temple, praguri din piatră, tocite de pașii miilor de trecători antici, pietre cioplite cu găuri inexplicabile pentru cei de azi, un Conservator pentru muzică, canale de drenaj (cioplite și acestea în piatră) a apei pluviale, coloane și aranjamente din piatră a căror funcționalitate nu o putem ghici, de toate ne oferă această Agora. Niște pietre... Dar pietrele acestea ne oferă o imagine, vie și astăzi, a complexității și amplitudinii vieții celor care populau insula în antichitate. Niște primitivi care își ciopleau viața întru eternitate...

Really loved this one. It's a ancient market of the island. Just close by the archaeological museum, you should definitely visit right after the museum. You'll see where all the little things were found from. You should also take some pictures on the museum of the micro copy of the ancient agora of what it looked like in ancient Greece before. Then go to the agora and walk around to really appreciate and see how it was and how it is now.
