Theologos is at the centre of the island and its district covers the 2/5 of the island. The village is on a longitude of 220m, on the more mountainous terrain of Thassos, north of Potos and 60km away from the city Thassos.
Nowadays, Theologos is the administrative seat of the villages: Theologos, Potos, Psili Ammos, Astris, Aliki and Koinira and covers 20% of the land of the island. It is a place rich in spring waters, with dense vegetation and it is quiet remote. These were the exact reasons for which the monks from Holy Mount Athos had chosen to live there. The houses here were built according to the traditional Macedonian architecture and thus the central component in their building is the rock . The village is officially declared as a traditional village. It was once a commercial centre until the mid 19th century. In the square of the village you may want to explore the various shops that sell souvenirs,hand-made objects and traditional sweets.The women of Theologos are very famous for their boiled in sugar sweets. Especially for the sweet “karidaki”(walnuts dipped into syroup).
