Only a few ruins remain of a medieval castle dating from the late Byzantine period (13th–15th century) on the summit of a steep, high hill called 'Agios Dimitrios', located 3.5 km east of the village of Theologos. During the pirate era in the northern Aegean Sea from the 7th century onwards, it served as a refuge for the inhabitants of the settlements that had sprung up in this area. Theologos was an ideal location for this purpose as it was not visible from the sea and was far away.

Κοίνυρα
A small, purely tourist place without a real center. It consists of a cluster of hotels, restaurants, etc.
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.
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.
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.
Exit the main road approximately 2 kilometers away from Kinira's city center, following the signs. You'll find a highly frequented, spacious sandy beach with two beach bars. To the left of the beach, on the rocky area, there is a designated nudist section, which, during the high season, serves as the exclusive spot for nudists.
