The Greek island of Thassos is about 7 hours away from Bulgaria. Last Friday after graduation we packed up our car and started driving to the Greek port town of Kavala. We spent the night in Kavala which I am told was a Bulgarian port during WWII. The next morning we drove about 45 minutes to the ferry and caught the boat to Thassos which apparently was a Bulgarian island during WWII. 

I however never confirmed either of these WWII facts but I no reason not to believe the facts. It's just funny that you can say: I am going to Kavala and then on to Thassos and a Bulgarian to tell you a fact like this. Similar things happen if you tell a Bulgarian: I am going to Lake Ohrid in Macedonia, they will ask: why not go to the Black Sea?  

Anyhow, back to the ferry boat--it's about a 45 minute
