For this purpose, we organize lectures and seminars on the observation of the sky and observational equipment, night trips for starwatching, astrophotography exhibitions and a multitude of events in the light of our passion for astronomy and outer space! We invite you to travel with us to the beauty of the magical night sky! Are you ready to explore it and love it?
Astrocamping on Thassos 2013, at July, will be renewed with the aim, this year, to touch the stars. From 10 to 15 July, the mountain calls us to travel with seminars, observations, lectures by distinguished professors and much more, so through our fellowship, we will discover the night sky and Thassos. This year, astrocamping is ready to host foreign campers, inviting them to discover the natural beauty and a unique dark sky of the place where astronomy was born.
In order to spread the peculiarities of Thassos to amateur astronomers and the general public (observing beginners and lovers) in Europe, decided in 2009 to organize this event on this island. Thassos is one of the darkest corners of Europe, a feature which favors the view of the sky and celestial objects, has a rich natural environment and is a popular destination for both Greeks and foreigners during the summer.
