Kavala: Journey to a jewel of Macedonia

Kavala

From its ancient past to its modern face and with an intermediate Ottoman stop, Kavala offers visitors the complete travel experience package - history, culture and food.

There is the Old Town, which will make you feel like you were in Kavala's recent past. The emblematic Imaret building, a real city landmark, can become your axis.

In Kavala, you will also witness industrial history, especially tobacco.

There is, of course, the ancient world, accessible by stepping outside the city centre. Here dominates the Archaeological Site of Philippi, a prominent city in ancient Macedonia, the Roman Empire, and the consolidation of Christianity and the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire.

Also present is the natural beauty that connects Macedonia and Thrace are the beaches, beaches that can be full of people or also extremely more remote. You choose!

Organised and unorganised beaches are exposed to small coves, with generous views or steep and seductive in their isolation.

However, the city also has a rich culinary tradition. Visitors find surprises offered by the flavours of land and sea in the restaurants and tavernas of the city, without missing, in this case, the sense of haute cuisine.
