Thassos Marble

Introducing Thassos Marble

Pure White Serenity

Thassos Marble, the brilliant snow-white natural stone unique to Greece, needs no introduction. The ancient Greeks and Romans prized white marble from Thassos Island for the unique purity of its colour and its fabulous natural sparkle. The marble quarried by J.PAPA brings this ancient heritage right up to date. Our world-famous, high-quality Greek Thassos marble products bring timeless class, light and durability to any project.

How does Thassos Marble compare to other types of marble?

Thassos Marble stands out due to its pristine whiteness and unmatched natural brightness. Its sunlight-reflecting crystals enhance its brilliance, creating an enduringly stylish aesthetic superbly compatible with many different materials. Its durability and special properties impeding heat absorption make J.PAPA’s Thassos marble an ideal choice for projects in very warm climates, wherever longevity and performance are required.
