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.
3. 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.
4. The Aquaduct
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 397 reviews
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.

The best beach I've ever visited in Greece. It is huge and has the same soft sand as at the Black sea, Bulgaria.

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.
7. Panagia

Panagia, the old town of Kavala, is much prettier and less ramshackle than the old town area of Thessaloniki (in my opinion) and is a lovely area to explore and, probably, get lost in. Follow the street up from opposite St Paul's monument (with the luminous mosaic) and head upwards. If you decide to go up any of the stairs on the left, you may well find yourself having to come back down again, but that is part of the charm of the area. There are places to eat and gift shops, but everything is relaxed and understated, rather than pushy and tacky. Apart from the castle (with lovely views of the aquaduct and the city), there are portions of the old city walls, the Halil Bey Mosque, Mehmet Ali's residence and the Imaret to discover within Panagia's twisty streets. And despite the effort needed in the walk up, remember that what goes up comes down again!
8. Mohammed Ali's House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 89 reviews
Reviewed By visitkavala - Kavala, Greece
Mohammed Ali’s Residence is considered one of the most characteristic surviving examples of 18th-century Ottoman architecture in Greece. In its south section is the selamlik, containing the men’s quarters, where the men spent their days and worked, the pasha’s private room, and the reception areas for guests. In the north section is the harem, where the women’s quarters are located, the bath (hamam) and the “sofa”. The fitted wooden cupboards and fireplaces are particularly interesting decorative features. In the Square named for Mohammed Ali (1769-1849), which is located in the Panagia peninsula, in the Old Town of Kavala, his residence and statue can be found.

Imaret is the best hotel in Kavala, with an excellent coffee place with Kavala's view !! We were there for a coffee, and we enjoyed the perfect arab architecture, and the perfect service.
