The Archaeological Museum of Thasos is located in Limenas. It occupies a house that was built in 1934 and recently extended. The exhibits consist in collections of sculpture, pottery, and architectural remains from the Neolithic to the Roman period on Thasos. Two of the sculptures of the Archaic period are outstanding: an impressive 3.5 m kouros, a statue of a young naked man carrying a goat (600 BC) and a bust of Pegasus (500 BC). Of the exhibits from the Classical period, particularly noteworthy are a head of Dionysos of the 4th century BC. From the Hellenistic and Roman period there are a statue of a Muse wearing a peplos, also from the Temple of Dionysos (3rd century BC), a small statue of Aphrodite with a dolphin and a cupid (3rd century BC), a head of Alexander, and a statue of the Roman emperor Hadrian, armed for battle.

The museum was empty when we visited and that was on a Saturday's afternoon at the beginning of June. We walked around for about an hour and we barely read the history, only vague to make an idea but the exhibits are some gorgeous pieces. History and a blast into the past at the price of a pie. Definitely worth your time, if you enjoy museums that is. The main statue at the entrance is as epic as it gets.

Does not seem much from the outside, but once you get inside we were surprised how big and well kept the museum actually is. You can watch documentaries about Thassos island starting from prehistory to more recent history. Friendly staff and the museum was quite empty, so it had quite an intimate feel to it, which made easy to have an imersive experience into the islands history.

Great museum with so much to see, from prehistoric era of the island to the Neolithic era all the way to the ancient Greece and even some after classical period. So much history in here. You'll definitely be in awe with so many statues and history from everyday things that ancient Greeks used to rooms dedicated just to the sanctuaries and temples that are all around the island.

The entry cost is 2 EUR / person. With that price you don't expect something unique but contravening the museum is very nice. It's a must have for Thassos! Multiple rooms with well organized findings. The ancient market is opposite of the museum but first you have to go to the museum (for the story of the market) and afterwards you shall go to the market.

4€ εισιτήριο για ενήλικες, το μουσείο ξεκινάει με έναν χώρο που στην κυριολεξία είναι παρατημένος και ο ορισμός του κακοφτιαγμένου. Ιστοί αραχνών ντύνουν τα εκθέματα, θολά τζάμια, σάπιοι τοίχοι και η κακή διαρρύθμιση χαλάνε την πανέμορφη εικόνα των αρχαίων κειμηλίων. Ο "δεύτερος τομέας" εκθεμάτων είναι λίγο καλύτερος και πιο προσεγμένος και δίνει μια άλλη αίσθηση στην επίσκεψη. Τα αυτοκόλλητα-αφίσες είναι κολλημένα λάθος με αέρα σε πολλά σημεία και τα γράμματα είναι τόσο μικρά που πρέπει να πας πάρα πολύ κοντά για να τα διαβάσεις. Από ένα παράθυρο παρατήρησα ότι το μουσείο και ένα κτίριο δίπλα έχουν κτιστεί πάνω σε αρχαια όπως φαίνεται και στην φωτογραφία, λάστιχα είναι παρατημένα πάνω στα αρχαια μάρμαρα και η εικόνα γενικά είναι απαράδεκτη. Επίσης, ήταν μια υπάλληλος του μουσείου που επέβλεπε και ήταν πολύ αγενής. Βέβαια, είδαμε κάτι ανθρώπους που ήρθαν για κάτι μετρήσεις του μουσείου οπότε δεν ξέρω αν στο μέλλον θα γίνουν αλλαγές. Τα 2 αστέρια είναι μόνο για την δουλειά των ανθρώπων που δούλεψαν και είχαν ένα όραμα για αυτό το μουσείο.
