COSTIS pottery workshop in Limenas Thassos
Costis is the only one (and hopefully not the last one) for the moment who continues a tradition of over 3000 years of pottery in Thassos. His grandfather founded the pottery workshop on 1912 and Costis is continuing the family tradition. His inspiration comes from the ancient Greek motives and today’s life.
A visit to his little store at the end of south-west Limenas (Thassos town) is a must. There you can purchase an original piece of Thassian tradition in affordable price.

The Archaeological Museum, in Limenas Extensive collections of archaeological artifacts, gleaned from excavations carried out at various times, are kept and displayed in the Museum, regarded as being one of the most important in the Greek provinces. Important architectural elements, outstanding examples of pottery, sculpture, statuettes, terra cotta figurines of various periods, coins, relief plaques, amphorae and a wide variety of other vessels and objects permit us to form an idea of the institutions, life, mores and artistic tendencies of the island’s inhabitants during ancient times.

Лименас
с разчекната кръв свенливо циркулираща
зад кожа от спокойствие и бор
отпивам през сламка нектара на небето
дълбае уязвимо сиртаки в пясък без име
потапям се в прохладните любовни обичаи
с лекото превъзходство на пчела
отпращам разтопеното сребро на чайките
зад челото на пухкавата жега
обитавам вълните направени от самота
и ето ме в градината на таверната
където звездите ще трошат чинии цяла нощ
в сърцето ми,
натъпкано с теб
фруктиера - окис и глазури
