Greece's emerald isle, Mythology's island of the Sirens, rises from the azure waves of the Aegean. The wild landscape in its northeast part, with its ñrecipitous lush ravines and beaches forms a vivid contrast to the serene beauty of the calm merging of sea and land at the shallow southwest coast. The island's capital, Limenas or Thassos, occupies the site of the ancient city. One can still see the walls, which completely surrounded it, the acropolis, the agora, theatre, temple of Pythian Áñïllï, choregic monument, and many other ruins. |
