ABOUT THE LOCATION:
Kastro (Greek: Κάστρο) is a small village in the interior of the Greek island of Thassos. It is believed to be the oldest village on the island. The village name comes from the old castle that existed here to protect the inhabitants (Kastro means "castle"). The village is located in the center of the island, at a height of 450–500 m above sea level. It can be reached from Limenaria on an asphalt road or from Theologos on a dirt road.
According to the 2011 census, the population of Kastro was 9. (SOURCE WIKIPEDIA)

If you want to gain entry, ask the friendly owner of the next door taverna for a key. He is always happy to give you a multilingual tour as well free of charge.
