Thasopoula (Greek: Θασοπούλα, romanized: Thasopoúla)[1] is a rocky islet in northern Greece, in the Thracian Sea.[2] It lies off the Nestos River delta, roughly in the middle of the eastern part of the Thasos channel, between Thasos and the coast of the Kavala regional unit. It has an area of 0.716 square kilometres,[3] and its highest point reaches 111 metres.[4] The islet is uninhabited. It is 15 nautical miles from Kavala and has three beautiful beaches.[5]
There are colonies of gulls, ''Phalacrocorax carbo'' (cormorants), and herons in the area, and the islet is covered with Mediterranean maquis vegetation.[6]
The Keramoti Winter Swimmers and Water Sports Association organizes an annual open-water race with a total distance of 2.4 kilometres, starting in Keramoti and finishing at Thasopoula.[5][7]
Thasopoula is one of 30 small islands and islets that the Greek state plans to lease to private parties through the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund for a period of 50 years.[8]
