Welcome to the tourist paradise of Thassos, where the restaurant staff not only greet you with cold smiles but also charge you as if you ordered fish studded with gold pearls! A Facebook group called “Live from Greece” has raised a serious alarm: a tavern on Aliki beach is not just rude but downright brazen. Serbian tourists have complained that they were charged for four kilograms of fish, even though they only ordered 1.5 kg, at a price of 60 euros! Yes, you read that right — four kilograms! And it’s not just any fish, but the kind they saw on the menu, which ended up costing more than gold.
Brazen Behavior on Thassos: When Guests Become ATMs
This is not an isolated incident. Comments on the post are full of similar experiences. The hospitality workers on this island seem to have forgotten that tourists are their guests, not ATMs. One tourist shared how a hotel that used to be all-inclusive now only offers half-board for the same price. Beach loungers are free, but drinks with them cost two euros, coffee three euros, and beer a whopping five euros. All while the staff look at you like you owe them money and provoke you with rudeness.
Fish or Gold? Prices That Shock
The price of fish on Thassos is already bordering on madness. For example, a kilogram of fish on the live scale costs about 15 euros, which is reasonable. But charging for four kilograms when you ordered 1.5 kg? That’s fraud squared. Tourists warn to especially avoid ordering fish at the tavern on Aliki beach, as the experiences there are the worst. Rude staff and arrogance add insult to injury in this bitter experience.
Is This the New Norm on Thassos?
It seems the hospitality industry on Thassos has adopted a “take as much as you can” tactic. Serbian and other tourists increasingly report similar cases. Is this a sign that this popular tourist spot is turning into a trap for the naive? Will authorities react, or will this become the everyday norm? While we wait for answers, tourists are becoming more cautious and louder in warning each other.
Conclusion: Beware, Thassos Scams Are Real!
If you plan a holiday on Thassos, think twice before ordering fish at the tavern on Aliki beach. The price might be much higher than you expect, and the service far from friendly. This is not just a story about an expensive vacation but about how arrogance and greed can ruin your summer experience. While you struggle with the bill, the restaurateurs smile and count their earnings.
