Kipos is situated at the very center of Thassos town which is the capitol of the island and also the primary port of entry. This means that it is ideally suited for visitors comming without a car since they will automatically be at the center of all the action such as nightlife, tavernas and shops but still not far from wonderfull beaches. Situated at a cul-de-sac it is away from the trafic and yet only 50 meters from the central town square, 200 meters from the marina and 800 meters from the port.

Favourites in and around Thassos town include the museum, the multitude of archaeological sites, such as the agora, the ancient amphitheater perched on the side of a hill just below the acropolis and others. Visiting the old port and the many tavernas and bars around it is a must as well as the town beaches on the outskirts to the west of the new port or to the east of the old port.
