KavalaThe seaside cultural crossroad between the east and west

Kavala is a charming coastal town known for its history and stunning natural beauty, offering a unique blend of ancient ruins, picturesque beaches, and vibrant city life.

The city is home to a well-preserved old town; the district of Panagia squeezes in over 2,500 years of history with effortless charm. With culture-blending architecture and multicolored mansions with wooden balconies and flower-filled courtyards, every step on its cobblestoned streets reveals more. Climbing to the hilltop fortress, you are rewarded with sublime views of the northern Aegean.

Kavala boasts a 37-mile coastline of beautiful sandy beaches with crystal clear waters, some located next to the city center.

Allow time to travel 10 miles to the ancient city of Philippi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site named after Philip II, King of Macedonia, who fortified it in 360 BC to ward off the Thracians. Take a tour of its Roman ruins before visiting the first Christian church on European soil, founded by St. Paul the Apostle in AD 49–50, and the prison where he was kept.
