Scenic Kavala Drives
Kavala is a captivating coastal city in northern Greece that blends rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty. Often called the 'Blue City' for its shimmering Aegean views, Kavala is perched between mountains and sea, offering a unique mix of East and West influences.
Wander through the Old Town of Panagia, where cobbled streets lead to Ottoman era landmarks like the Imaret and the house of Mohamed Ali, the 19th-century governor of Egypt who was born here. The city's medieval castle and lighthouse crown the hilltop, offering panoramic views over the harbor and rooftops below. One of Kavala's most iconic sights is the Kamares aqueduct, a 16th-century marvel that once carried water to the city and now stands as a dramatic architectural symbol.
Take a ferry to nearby Thassos Island, enjoy wine tasting tours in the surrounding countryside, or relax on beaches like Batis and Kalamitsa. The food scene is equally enticing, with fresh seafood, local delicacies, and traditional tavernas lining the waterfront.
