General presentation
Kavala and Thasos
Kavala amphitheatre port and Thasos island, between Ottoman aqueduct, beaches, marble villages, forests and short ferries.
To understand what Kavala and Thasos are, you have to look at Kavala, Aqueduc and Thasos. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, the coastline, island landscapes and heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to anticipate: ferries to organize and very seasonal. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

World Heritage
Philippes
Philips preserves the traces of a Macedonian city that became Roman then Christian, near Kavala. Theatre, forum, basilicas, ancient ways and ramparts tell a succession of powers and cults; the site speaks to both classical archaeology enthusiasts and those who follow the first stories of Christianity in Europe.
Remarkable location
Amphipolis
Amphipolis It occupies a strategic site in Macedonia, near the Strymon, which has long been disputed for its roads and resources. Its remains, its monumental lion and the funeral discoveries of the region give birth to a Greek then Roman city, linked to the exchanges between the Aegean Sea and the interior of the land.
Town or village
Kavala
Kavala hangs in an amphitheater above its port, with the Ottoman aqueduct, the old town of Panagia and the ferries that run towards Thasos. The rising lanes lead to very open views of the sea, the red roofs and the fishing docks.
Town or village
Aqueduc
The aqueduct of Kavala Crosses the city like a long line of stone arches, inherited from the Ottoman era. It gives a strong silhouette to the low streets, especially when you reach it from the port before going up to the ancient district of Panagia.
