In the mountainous center of the island, it used to be a dilapidated village. It has been partly rebuilt, but it's more the landscape that makes it worth going there. The environment is more impressive than the place itself. From Limenaria a winding but well-maintained road leads to the village. Two small restaurants invite the diner to linger in clean mountain air. If you want to visit the church, you get the key in the restaurant next door. At the end of the village is the former castle, from which only part of the fortification walls are preserved. On the castle grounds today stands a chapel and an ossuary. A small waterfall is located near the village and can be reached on foot or 4WD from Kastro. To get to the waterfall take the dirt track on the east side of Kastro, which is a 3-4 km journey and goes through a beautiful and pristine forest. It's most impressive to see during the spring as it tends to dry up during the summer. Alternatively you can reach the waterfall from Theologos by vehicle.
Kastro is a small village in the interior of the Greek island of Thasos. 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. The village is located in the centre 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.

Pegasus Farm is a riding stable for children and adults. The well-maintained farm invites visitors to linger and offers the opportunity to play with horses, donkeys, dogs and cats. Children have plenty of space to play and can ride or pet the animals.
Θεολόγος
A quiet and beautiful "must-see" mountain village where the houses are mostly built of stone and covered with stone slabs. Also the museum is worth seeing. The place is also known for its restaurants serving goat dishes.
The small waterfall a few kilometres behind the village is also worth a visit. The unpaved road leading there cannot be driven on with normal rental cars; only 4WD vehicles are suitable. The somewhat strenuous hike there is constantly uphill and is only really worthwhile if the stream has a good flow of water. In midsummer, the stream is almost dry, but it is most impressive in early summer. You should wear trainers at least, as you have to climb a bit to reach the waterfall. The pools below the waterfall are a wonderful place to cool off.
Another attraction is the old stone bridge. Behind the Agios Dimitrios church is a footpath to the photogenic bridge about 200 m away. The bridge is part of the circular route through old Theologos.

A very original old mountain village with nice restaurants.
In the valley between today's Theologos and the ruins of the settlement on the other side there are some beautiful little waterfalls, called Kefalogourna, in which you can refresh yourself. The path to the waterfalls begins shortly before the end of the village and is signposted and expanded. There are several waterfalls and pools cascading one behind the other. You have to approach it from the side of the embankment as there is no way. Only the top, largest waterfall has a path and after the community created the path it belongs to the "must see" on Thasos.
