Products with a designation of origin
Thasos is not just an island full of natural beauty. It also hides small gastronomic treasures. The famous Throumba Thasos, a unique type of olive with PDO status, and Thasos olive oil, certified as PGI, are the products par excellence that testify to a centuries-old tradition.
You can learn the secrets of olive cultivation and olive oil production at the Olive and Olive Oil Museum at Prinos. The traditional tools, machines, techniques and photographic material present vividly the history of the olive tree in relation to Greek culture, the vine and the sea.
Moreover, in the village of Panagia and the Sotirelli Traditional Olive Oil Mill -which is now a museum- there is the only water mill in Greece that operates to this day.
