Kavala (Kavala)
Kavala, built on a hillside along the Aegean Sea, is a cultural crossroads between the East and the West, and it has everything you could want in a vacation destination, including mountains, beaches, picture-perfect cityscapes, breathtaking views, significant monuments and sites, delicious local cuisine, and incredible places to explore.
Discover the beaches of Kavala, where the majesty and clarity of the water will impress even the most discerning traveler. Enjoy some water sports before unwinding with some local cuisine at a quaint restaurant on the water's border. Because of its proximity to the Egnatia Way and its port, the city has always been significant.
Panagia neighborhood (Palia Poli - ancient Town), which sprawls across the peninsula with narrow streets and ancient macedonian-style buildings, is an excellent starting point for exploring the city. In 1391, following the destruction of the Byzantine acropolis, construction began on a new fortification that would come to dominate the landscape and offer a breathtaking view of the sea and the town below. The structure itself functions as a venue for cultural events. Mehmet Ali (1769-1849), a native-born Egyptian monarch, donated the ancient Imaret structure in 1817. It was once a seminary-poverty house, then a refugee house, and is now a luxury hotel.
