Sea, Stone & Street Life: Kavala Walking Tour
Overview
Meet at the bustling port, where ships once carried tobacco, goods, and people across the Mediterranean, shaping Kavala’s history and identity. Walk uphill to the historic Panagia district, passing narrow streets and traditional houses filled with stories of daily life, migration, and community.
