Dear Adrian. I am also a fan of Thassos and was there for some visits. I made a short report on the mollusc fauna. You should take off the two species Bythinella alta (central European)by Angelov mistaken for Bythinella charpentieri and Lithoglyphoides virescens (northwestern Balkan) mistaken for Belgrandiella hohenackeri. Best greetings Reischütz

Dear Adrian, I enjoyed your website. It's well written. I study the land snails of Turkey. I see in your list several species that are also found in Turkey. I hope Thasos will avoid overdeveloping & destroying its coastal habitats, a fate, unfortunately, Turkey couldn’t escape. I have some information on the land snails of Turkey at my website (members.aol.com/aydinslibrary). Regards, Aydin

I enjoyed the site of Thassos. I am planning for a holiday; But.. I really want to know if there are any scuba diving centres at Thassos before I can book a holiday. Can you please provide me with information on diving centres at Thassos? Thanks, Avri Selig

I think you have a great page. I'm from Germany and like Greece. In Greece are many Buprestidae (Coleoptera).

Visited Thassos in 1997 had a lovely time in Potos. We saw what we thought was a Mole Cricket - no-one believes us - Do they have them on Thassos?

Very beautiful island. I stayed at Limenaria and had the best holiday anyone could ask for. The wildlife was as wonderful as the people.

Hello, Great site, well done. Do you have some useful info regarding Ypsarion and mountains around? How to get there? Any climbing maybe? Regards.

I am a researcher in Xylocopini biology and distribution. Please can you send me papers on Xylocopini of Greece or some specimens??? Please contact me.

Thanks Adrian. I found your site very informative and useful. I am particularly interested in the Birds on Thassos. I am returning to the Island in May 2003 for another two week holiday and would be grateful if you could give me the benefit of your knowledge of birdwatching sites on the island. You mentioned Bee Eaters breeding on the Maries river and if possible a more specific location would be of help. When we return in May we will be venturing into the centre of the island by 4X4. Are there any good sites for Eagles or other raptors.

I have visited Thasos for the last four years and enjoyed each visit more than the previous one. Much of my time is spent snorkeling off Trypiti Beach near Limenaria. There appears to be so many different species of fish. Is it possible for your site to include pictures of some of the more common and perhaps the not so common fish and other creatures, octopus and cuttlefish, that can be found there.

Hello! Love your homepage, especially that about birds. Very useful since I am a (starting!)ornithologist and going there on holiday and now have an idea of which birds to look for! But it could be even better with some short descriptions of good places to study birds (and reptiles).

Just came back from my 2 visit to the island. I have discovered joy of mountain walks and drives on Thasos - have been by foot to Ypsario and Pr.Ilias - people should know how easy and fun is to walk - not only to drive up to the summit (which is great fun too). Do you have any good map of road/path network?

Dear Adrian, I write to you regarding your Orchid section. I am looking for information about Orchids in the island, possibly I will visit Thasos next summer if I can find enough contacts or info to go and look at the terrestrial Orchids in the wild, so I'll be very grateful if you could help me in any way, as giving me the address of any Orchids of Thasos association or any amateur willing to show me the Orchids around. Thanks in advance, Paloma.

Dear sirs, I had been looking and searching in the internet to see, whether the latest issue of BUPRESTIS, a newsletter for workers on buprestids already appeared and found your homepage. I am glad to see that you know our book on the Greek buprestids. I do not know whether you have it or not. Anyhow its a pleasure to learn that this paper is also known in Greece - and used! Unfortunatelly during our studies non of the Greek institutes or collections did support our studies with datas or material. The only one had been the Goulandris museum, where I had been myself to write down all datas. Nevertheless I thank you for this unexpected pleasure. With my very best wishes Hans Mühle

I have been told that dolphins have been known to frequent the waters around Thasos, in the past, by a work colleague. Can you tell me if they still do please.

Hello, I find your web-site very useful:-) I and my mum are coming to Thassos in June, would you be so kind and could you recommend me nice places to visit (we will stay in Skala Prinos). Thank you in advance. Mirka

I enjoyed visiting your site and will likely return to see more parts. It looks like you have a similar approach as I have, only in a very different area. I invite you to visit my site at www.studiocinqo.com/p_veenvliet which is about a very special area in Slovenia. Kind regards, Paul

I am making a work of paleartica Zygaenidae and wanted to do some collects in Greece. It could indicate to me if they are necessary permissions of capture? To who would have to direct me to ask for them? I am to its disposition for which it wants. Thanks.

Hi I find your site very interesting. I am thinking of coming to Thasos this summer. My main interest is in moths, could you recommend a small guesthouse which I could run a light from. Many thanks Paul Housley.

I am writing on behalf of SEE-North, a non-profit environmental education organization in Northern Michigan. We are opening an interactive museum and are looking for photos for a display. We are interested in using your photo of the ant lion pits if you would grant us permission at no cost. Thanks! Libby McDonald SEE-North.

I am the author of "European Fauna of Oedemeridae". I will search in my database any record from Thásos. If you have unidentified Oedemeridae, I can help you pleased. Your web page is very interesting !

I have seen Pine Martens on Thassos on a number of occasions, even in Thassos Town I saw one running down the road outside The Anonymous Cafe at about 3am. Last year there were reports of damage to Moped seats and the seats of Jeeps at Makriamos, it turned out that it was the Pine Martens ripping the seats and taking the stuffing out presumably to line their nests.

I write to you for more than just to say how much I appreciate your efforts. I am currently living in northern Greece and am currently helping, on a voluntary level, produce checklists of everything found in the area of the Kerkini Lake Wetland environment. This is not far from Thassos, so it occurs to me that there may be many species similar, except there is probably more diversity here. Having said this it is interesting that there is so little similarity in the ant lists, though mine is a long way from complete, the identifications were done by an myrmecologist in Edierne and should be reliable.

An excellent site! I have visited thassos 4 times now and returning again in september. Being a speleologist i am interested in the limestone areas on thassos and the potential karst. Do you know of any cave formation on the island?

HI! My name is Marco, I'm from Italy. I'm studying by myself Euscorpius populations all around Mediterranean basin, but in particular I'm looking from specimens from Greek islands (I'm a collaborator of some Italy, Norway and USA' universities); they are making a revision of populations previously belonged to "E.carpathicus" (now restricted to Romania). Perhaps E.c. candiota will be a new species, but we don't know it's distribution. We have got data from southern Aegean but not from northern (for example Thasos). Can you tell me something about Euscorpius in Thasos (different colors, habitats, sizes,...)? Ah, your site is very good, I love Greece too!!!!

Dear Adrian: I was very pleased to find your website with a great, up-to-date information on Thasos arachnids. Will be glad to contribute further as we now are working on further taxonomy of the Euscorpius of this area.
