Prinos-Skala Prinou
Financially
it is one of the most important areas of Thassos, since the discovery
of an oil resource and the installation of oil rigs in it’s sea area.
Prinos (Kalivia), is located in the highlands of the are and is the
main settlement.
Large
and with dense population, it is the commercial and cultural center of
the area, but given it’s distance from the sea (2 klm), it never
participated in the islands tourist development. In the vicinity, there
is a small zone in which the Organic Olive Mills of Thassos
are located, producing the famed for it’s salutary attributes
biological olive oil “Kardiofilo”. There are also the salt olive
processing plant, belonging to the Agricultural Association of Prinos,
and the Apiarian Association of Thassos.
Skala
Prinou is located in the coastline and has direct access to Kavala
through ferry boats. It is a settlement that developed without planning
to aiming to accommodate the docking ships and their travelers. Still,
it’s sandy, emerald shores manage to lure in travelers.
Merged today with Skala Prinou and with the tourist aspect developed, the new settlement of Prinos, also known as “dasillio”, has unique natural beauty. It’s crystal clean water beaches meet the verdurous grove and create an impression of thrifts and pine trees rising from within the sea. The area filled with luxurious tourist complexes and rented rooms, as well as a camping site of EOT (National Tourist Organization). .
