The island of Thasos

Thasos is a Greek island located in the northern Aegean Sea that was historically famous for its high quality white marble. Together with Lemnos, Thasos formed the Hephaistos Islands.

Economy

In the 5th century BCE, Thasos' marble was exported far and wide across the world, and the island became one of the most reputable sources for the material. The island's mining industry first began to boom a few centuries prior to this, and aside from marble, it also produced silver.[1] Additionally, almonds grown on the island were considered a delicacy available to wealthy citizens in places like Athens.[2]

Geography

The island of Thasos was made up of three regions:
