Limenaria

 Driving the coastal road, leaving behind the steep and greenery cape of Kefala, someone arrives in the small picturesque bay of Tripiti, which is a beautiful beach with very clean sea and fine sand, and then finds the town of Limenaria with the settlement Kalivia which are in a high touristy development. According to the last census the residents of Limenaria are almost the same number as these of Limena, the capital of Thassos.

Limenaria started to develop at the beginning of the 20th century where minerals,  which the German company Speidel exploited, were loaded. The Spiedel branch offices, which are known as 'Palataki", are an excellent piece of architecture built at the beginning of the 20th century. The first residents were labourers coming from the village 'Kastro', which was  being abandoned through the years. The population became higher when some refugees came from Minor Asia.

Limenaria met a high touristy development at the decades  of 80's and 90's. There has been made a useful and successful  traffic intervention in the  downtown of Limenaria and there has been a try to restore the old offices of the company Spiedel. One of the highlights of the village is the cave under the 'Palataki" and the 'beach of the mines' with the abandoned mines. Hotels, rooms to let, tavernas, cafés and bars are provided. There is a folklore museum and a small private one, the museum Papageorgiou.
