Take your time discovering Kavala

Built between the sea and the hillsides that surround it, Kavala is one of Northern Greece's most distinctive coastal cities. Its history is visible throughout the city, from the historic Panagia district and the Kavala Fortress to the Imaret, the house of Mohamed Ali and the landmark Kamares Aqueduct. Former tobacco warehouses, now home to cultural spaces and public venues, reflect Kavala's important role in Greece's commercial history. Along the waterfront, cafés, restaurants and local shops create a lively atmosphere throughout the year. Nearby beaches, cultural events and easy access to destinations such as Philippi, Thassos and the Nestos River area make Kavala a convenient base for exploring the wider region.

A beach for every kind of day

From organised city beaches to long stretches of sand beyond the centre, Kavala offers plenty of ways to enjoy the sea.

Just a short distance from the hotel, Kalamitsa Beach combines easy access with organised facilities, including a wheelchair-accessible marine ramp. Further east, Ammoglossa Keramotis Beach offers a more natural setting, where shallow waters meet a wide sandy shoreline.
