Hiking
If you want to have a nice panoramic view of the whole island, you should definitely go to the Ypsarion. Fantastic paths and impressive rock formations make this hike an absolute highlight. After the hike, you can fill your stomach and enjoy a cold drink in the town of Thasou. We ate it at To Tavernaki taverna and were not disappointed. The moussaka was to die for!

Hiking
Yesterday I was on the Ypsarion from Potamia. A great hiking trail with breathtaking views. Before that, I had started from another starting point towards the highest mountain, but didn't make it. I can only warn against using paths that are not officially signposted and designated as hiking trails. These would be a big risk!
Back to the Ypsarion. The negative and frustrating thing for me was that jeeps can drive up to the peak. Tourists get out 200 meters before the summit, hike up and sign the summit book. Great tourism!
But otherwise, a very impressive tour.
