A “Blue city” with crystal-clear coasts, world heritage monuments, dreamy views, Mediterranean cuisine, relaxed walks, nearby getaways to the islands, picturesque villages and mountains. Built amphitheatrically along the length of the sea, at the crossroads of East and West, Kavala invites you to discover it…

A blue city, with peaceful waters, sandy beaches, huge coastlines and organised or unexplored shores, with tavernas next to the sea, and unexpectedly beautiful spots. It’s an open secret that the beaches of Kavala have it all!
An active town, which lives to the rhythms of a megacity with a completely relaxed attitude at every moment!
A town that is alive, which lives and breathes to the rhythms of its long history, its present and its future as the most developed urban centre in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. With a very large port and a state-of-the-art marina, it is one of the most important fishing centres of Greece.
At the port – an ideal destination for a cruise – Kavala lives to the rhythms of the market and work. However, as the day goes by, a sweet air of relaxation gradually starts to prevail. It spreads out to the open-air cafes and the tavernas serving ouzo and mezes, is reflected in the peninsula of Panagia, with the Fortress and the Old Town, and can be sensed during brief walks to the pier, where the tourist boats moor.
In its shops, in the narrow lanes around Agios Nikolaos, next to the central square, where the shops still emit the aroma of another era. Large, modern department stores can still be found on the other side, in Omonia and Venizelou Streets. These two markets are “united” by the imposing building of the Municipal Market, where you can do all your daily shopping, particularly food.
