The historically-rich village of Theologos stands 220 meters above sea level, in the mountains of Thassos just 10 kilometres Northeast of Potos. It is 55 kilometres from Thassos Town and 38 kilometres from the port in Skala Prinos.

Theologos was once Thassos' major market place and also the location of the island’s government during the Turkish Occupation from 1455 till 1813 and later the Egyptian rule between 1813 and 1902. The history of the village goes back much farther before that though. It lived through the Byzantine Era during which it was given its name and it also contains remnants of the past far before that. Theologos, until the last century, was the most important village on the island, being both the economic and political center of Thassos.

The old island capital, and still the administrative centre for the southern half of the island. The villages of Potos, Astris, Thimonia, Alyki and Kinira are all within its jurisdiction and were built to serve the seasonal needs of its inhabitants. The mountains and the inland landscapes of this area are among the most picturesque on the island. There are hundreds of paths and trails for hiking and mountaineering. Forests, gorges, springs and stone memorials of the past abound. Paths to all over the south of the island start from the village. Likewise, every settlement in the south has a path to Theologos. Now mostly overgrown, they can be difficult to find, but it is not easy to lose your way in the mountains of Thassos.
Renowned for its fine workmanship is the iconoclast in the church of St. Demetrios, to which the monk Ignatius Philotheites dedicated 18 years of his life. The Folklore Museum, the watermill, the mansion house of the chieftain Hatziyiorgis, dozens of buildings of outstanding architectural value, the village churches, the stone bridge which is the only one of its kind on Thassos, the sanctuaries and shrines, combined with the beauty of the natural surroundings are sure to enchant you as they have countless others in the past.
