Versa Studios

Lovely studios, well maintained and equipped (hairdryer, satellite TV, etc) and plenty of storage space.
Was lucky enough to have a double room (Apt 11), which meant that we had a balcony to the front and back, giving a lovely through breeze when windows were open and therefore no need for air-conditioning; however, if you had one of the smaller rooms, which our friends did, air-conditioning probably a 'must have' (especially when you had to shut the windows when noisy outside - see point below).
Owners live on site and were very nice and couldn't do enough for you. Apartments cleaned every day, with bed linen and towels changed frequently. You can hire a safe in the room at 30 Euros for 2 weeks, which I thought was a bit pricey.
Turn right outside the apartments and you are only a 15 minutes stroll to the town beach (or longer if you go via the main shopping area en-route!).
Although small, the beach offers a good choice of tavernas and bars to frequent, with sunbeds and umbrellas free of charge if you purchase food and drink during the day (otherwise they charge around 2 Euros per bed).
Verniers was our favourite and they served great food and good wine (of which we had plenty), although the Island Bar was also good if you only wanted limited snacks rather than a proper lunch. Turn left outside and you head to the new harbour and some very good restaurants - our favourites were the Mediterranean and Le Muses (right next to each other on the front).
The only downside to the apartments is that they are on the busy road into town, which meant lots of traffic noise late at night and you tended to get coaches pulling up outside the apartments to drop off at the hotel opposite and that was a bit noisy too, especially first thing in the morning. If it wasn't for these last points, I would have rated these apartments a 10!
Loved Thassos and look forward to going back next year.
