Kavala is a picturesque port city in northern Greece, with a rich history stretching back to ancient Neapolis. Once an important Roman and Byzantine harbor, it is today known for its old town rising above the sea, an imposing aqueduct, a scenic marina, and excellent restaurants along the waterfront. The combination of historical landmarks, a maritime atmosphere, and an authentic Greek way of life makes Kavala one of the most interesting destinations in northern Greece.
