Kastro is a deserted old village built at 450m high on a mountaintop, surrounded by deep ravines and gorges, in the central part of Thassos island. Here a Genoan family who ruled the island for 40 years built a castle in 1414 to find protection from the pirates plundering. The ruined walls of the castle can be seen around the Church of Saint Athanassios, the oldest church in Thassos.
