In Theologos village is worth visiting the church of Saint Paraskevi to admire the icon of Virgin Mary that according to many is attributed to Luke the Evangelist, a creation of wax and mastic. Also, at the same village is worth visiting the church of Saint Dimitrios, patron saint of the village, in order to see the wonderful handmade wooden temple of the church. This carved temple constitutes the multi-annual soul deposition from the monk Ignatius Filothei to portray scenes from the Old and New Testament.
The Monastery of Michael Archangel is a women’s hermitage, which falls under Mount Athos and was founded by Philotheos Monastery. You can easily visit it as it is located on the island’s ring road between Aliki and Astris villages. It is perhaps one of the most well-known monasteries of the island also due to its location, as it is built on the edge of a precipice and thus the pilgrim can be enchanted by the view of the Aegean Sea and the Mountain. Apart from the location, the Monastery is famous as it preserves a part of the nails used during the Christ’s crucifixion and for this reason hundreds of pilgrims flock to the island every year. Finally, it is worthwhile visiting the showroom of the monastery.
The Folklore Museum of Theologos is housed in the two-storey mansion of Xatzigiorgis, who was a renowned chieftain of the island.

You may also observe old tools that were used by Thassians in their daily occupations, as well as a flourmill and an oil mill.
