The Source of Thassos Total-White Marble

Thassos Quarry

At our modern quarry located on the enchanting island of Thassos in northern Greece, we produce pure snow-white Thassos Marble. This is one of Greece’s most emblematic marble varieties, with a history deeply rooted in ancient Greek and Roman sculpture and architecture.

Our dedicated and highly trained workforce focuses on strict quality control to ensure production at Thassos Quarry is reliably consistent in quality and hue. We produce high-quality bianco (white) marble blocks, slabs and cut-to size pieces, using precision diamond wire cutting and other state-of-the-art machinery. Our modern equipment reduces noise, dust and rock waste. We recycle any excess material, part of our commitment to responsible quarrying.
