August is a wonderful time to visit the mountainous regions of Thassos, like Potamia, which are not particularly rugged in most areas. There are also several inland towns that are connected to coastal towns (by way of 'skalas' or stairways) that many visitors find intriguing.

There are two main festivals/events in Thassos in August. The first is the Feast of the Assumption (Koimisis tis Theotokou). It's held on the 15th and is a national holiday so most public services such as banks will be shut down and unavailable.
The second is the Festival of Philippi-Thassos. This is also a national event that celebrates Greeks in the Arts. It is generally held from the first week of July until the Last week of August.
