Kavala

Kavala is a cultural crossroad between the East and West, which has everything you could wish for in a destination and more; mountains, beaches, picture perfect cityscapes, breathtaking views, significant monuments and sites, delicious local cuisine and amazing places to discover at a short distance.  It has a coast lined with beautiful beaches, among the best in Greece. Most have soft sand and shallow turquoise waters, absolutely perfect if you travel with young children. Many are ‘organized’ sun beds and umbrellas, so shade is no issue, but you can also find wonderful ‘wild’ beaches and coves.

Kavala, formerly known as Neapolis, is significant in the Bible because it was the first place in Europe that the Apostle Paul preached the gospel. The city is a landmark for Christianity, as Apostle Paul founded there the first Christian church in Europe. There you will see the ”Baptismal” site where the first European Christian woman, Lydia was baptized. 

Kavala is also an important economic center of Northern Greece, a center of commerce, tourism, fishing and oil-related activities and formerly a thriving trade in tobacco.
