Description
This itinerary stitches together Thassos’s soft beaches and archaeological charm with the elemental drama of Samothraki. Expect a well-paced week: sheltered bays and waterfront tavernas early, an adventurous mid-week crossing, then a gentle glide back via Keramoti and the sights of Kavala. It’s an excellent fit for crews who want variety without complexity.
About Our Service in Thassos, Samothraki & Eastern Macedonia–ThraceYou’ll favor short coastal hops at the outset to tune the boat and settle in, then tackle the longest leg after confidence builds. The plan preserves free hours for swims, small hikes, and café culture. With easy provisioning points and flexible lunch stops, you can fine-tune the rhythm day by day to match the weather and the crew’s mood.
Day 1 – Kavala to Nea Iraklitsa
A short evening run introduces the coast. Swim off the stern before dinner at a beachside taverna. Overnight at anchor.
Day 2 – Nea Iraklitsa to Limenaria (Thassos)
Drift south to one of Thassos’s prettiest towns. Work in a covey of swim stops en route and toast the sunset on the promenade.
Day 3 – Aliki Bay & Limenas
Spend the morning in the luminous waters of Aliki before curving to Limenas, where ruins and a Roman theater color the evening wander. Overnight in the capital’s marina.
Day 4 – Limenas to Samothraki (~55 NM)
An early start sets you up for a comfortable arrival in Kamariotissa. Dinner onshore and a quiet night cap the crossing.
Day 5 – Samothraki’s Natural Side
Waterfalls at Fonias, hot springs at Therma, or a lazy day at Pachia Ammos—choose according to the breeze. Return to the harbor or a calm anchorage.
Day 6 – Samothraki to Keramoti
Coast back toward the mainland for a night of sand walks and low-key cafés. The harbor’s easygoing feel is perfect after the island’s wild interiors.
Day 7 – Keramoti to Kavala
Close the loop in Kavala and roam the Panagia quarter, the aqueduct, and the hilltop castle. Final dinner with harbor views. Overnight onboard.
Day 8 – Disembarkation (09:00)
About Our Yacht – Sun Odyssey 410 (2020)With three roomy cabins and two WCs, the 410 suits two couples plus children or a group of friends. The cockpit’s fold-out table and cushions transform lunches into slow, scenic affairs, while the 1000w windlass and chain counter make anchoring precise. Solar input reduces marina dependence on quiet nights, and the tender allows carefree beach runs.
Raymarine navigation—with i70 data, AXIOM 7 charting, 70s autopilot, and VHF—keeps the helm informed from open-water legs to harbor entries. The hull’s modern volume supplies storage and stability without dulling the boat’s lively, confidence-building feel. It’s a natural match for a two-island week with one satisfying blue-water highlight.
Choose this dual-island plan if you want beaches and ruins early, wilderness mid-week, and an easy step back to mainland comforts before your farewell in Kavala.
