The Monastery of Archangel Michael is one of Thassos' most striking religious sites, set on cliffs above the Aegean on the island's southeast coast. The white buildings, blue water, and drop below the walls make the setting as memorable as the monastery itself.
Dress modestly and expect a working religious atmosphere rather than a museum. The stop fits naturally into a drive around southern Thassos, especially with the coastal viewpoints and nearby beaches.
