Kavala

Walk along the main port in the town centre with its ferries to Thassos, Limnos, Lesvos and other Aegean islands and picturesque fishing and sailing boats. Following that promenade you reach the archaeological museum. On Saturday morning there is an interesting fruit & clothing market. Sit in one of the many cafeterias along the promenade  to enjoy the view over the harbour and old town.

​

The circular route around the city wall is a worthwhile walk. Beneath the Mohammed Ali equestrian statue starts a path around the city wall. The path leads down to the sea around the headland of the the old town, then branches off to the port or back uphill to the old town near Panagia Church.

​

It is worthwhile to go in back alleys in the old town to visit the typical Byzantine houses in the narrow streets. Along the main street of the old town restaurants and bars are lined up. There is an aqueduct that is 25 meters high and was built in 1550 to supply the town with drinking water. It was restored a few years ago.
