The ancient site of Philippi is important for several reasons: it was a city that King Philip II of Macedonia (father of Alexander the Great) built in the C4 BC, and gave it his own name. The gold and silver mined there paid for Alexander the Great's travels and conquests. It was here that the Roman legions fought each other leading to the end of the Roman republic and giving birth to the Roman Empire. For Christians it is a very important site as St Paul, St Luke, Timothy and Silas first came to Europe and founded their very first church. There is a lot to see but you will need to hire a guide, or read a book or at the very least purchase an archeological map. Otherwise the site will look like a a heap of stones. The museum is open again after several years of closure. I normally give the site the entire day, but I'm very interested in archeology and history. About a mile down the road is Lydia. This site is important for those interested in church history as St Paul babtised Lydia and the very first converts to Christianity in Europe. You can get refreshments normally at Lydia To get to Lydia by public transport get a bus from either Drama (accessible by train and buses from other parts of Greece), or take a bus from Kavala, the port city.

The region of Philippi is connected to many exceptional historical figures and events that shaped the Western world. Stunning monuments, which have survived until today, are evidence of the long history of the cultures that interacted and grew in this region. The Early Christian monuments of Philippi are among the best-preserved of their type and for this historical period in the whole world!

It was my first time walking with friends towards the castle maybe little tricky finding it as you need to past by the houses along the alley to the top of the hill. There are directions and you may have to take some stairs or steep hill to get there. Its a beautiful scene make sure its a sunny day to enjoy the view from the top. It was really enjoyable for me and friends and certainly for those whom loves nature, scenary and photography.

Mohamed ali's family house is situated on the Panagia Peninsula, in the old town of Kavala. Constructed around 1780 and uniquely renovated between 2001-2004 stands as a highly praised piece of late Ottoman architecture. An absolute must see!

It was a pleasant surprise indeed for me to find such house just next to the Church and monument build under his name. There are gardens around the area which makes it more pleasant for photography.

7. Tobacco Museum

Reviewed By visitkavala - Kavala, Greece
This is a thematic museum that contains artefacts and archive material on the cultivation and production of tobacco, it's agricultural and commercial processing, industrial tobacco products, and exhibits of sample tobaccos. The uniqueness of the Museum lies in the fact that not only does it contain an exhibition on the processing of Oriental tobaccos (which are not found in any other museum in the world), but also in the fact that it is a museum that showcases economic and social history as well as the history of technology in Kavala and Eastern Macedonia and Thrace more broadly. The collection of the Kavala Tobacco Museum is exceptionally rich.
8. The Aquaduct

Reviewed By visitkavala - Kavala, Greece
The most characteristic monument of Kavala is the large, arched aqueduct, known by the name “Kamares” (Arches), with a length of 270 m and a maximum height of 25 m. They were built in 1520-1530, a period during which many infrastructure works were carried out in Kavala, with the aim of reconstructing the city after the destruction of 1391. The Kamares are a huge structure, out of proportion to the size of the then insignificant settlement.

Wide beach, clean white sand, very shallow sea, suitable for kids, warm and clean water. Beach bar is very nice, helpful and nice staff. Not expensive.
