Thassos is experiencing a fully booked accommodation season, according to Kostas Manitsas, head of the island's water and sewerage utility DEYA Thassos, who told local media that every available bed on the island is currently occupied. Manitsas said demand on the utility grows every year as visitor numbers rise, requiring careful management of water supply during the driest and busiest weeks of summer. Kavala's Apostolos Pavlos port remains the main mainland gateway for the wave of visitors arriving on the island by ferry.
