Rent a Car/Motorbike

You will find some car/motorbike rental agencies on the island, as having your own vehicle is the best way to tour around the island and its gorgeous landscapes. The main road network is in reality a peripheral road that circles the island and you can arrange to have your car/motorbike dropped off your hotel or have it waiting for you at the port. We suggest to ask Mr Giannis to help you rent a motorbike or car.

Banks & ATMS

On Thassos you will find branches of some of the biggest Greek banks. Mind that all bank branches are open for the public from 8am to 14.30pm on all weekdays except for Friday and on Friday from 8am to 14pm.

ATMs can be found outside all bank branches and in some villages too.

Banks exchange all major currencies, traveler’s cheques or Eurocheques. Post offices exchange cash, but not traveler’s cheques, and usually charge lower commissions than banks. Travel agencies and larger hotels exchange cash and traveler’s cheques but usually charge a higher commission. Credit cards are accepted in shops and restaurants, however, in local cafes, especially in villages you will probably have to pay in cash.

Post Office

The Greek post office is called ELTA. Post Boxes in Greece are YELLOW for normal post, usually with 2 slots for INTERNAL POST (meaning inside Greece) and post for ABROAD. RED Post Boxes are rarer and they are used for URGENT mail. REGISTERED mail is always handled and given a receipt for at the POST OFFICE.

Post Offices operate between 8am and 14pm and can be found at the main towns and villages of the island.
