Where is the Kavala cruise port?

The port authority lists two cruise berthing positions of 160 m, a newly built passenger terminal with an air-conditioned lounge, coach parking and walking distance to the city centre. Larger ships may anchor outside the port and tender passengers in.

About Kavala

Kavala is a port city in eastern Macedonia in northern Greece, facing the island of Thassos across the bay. Cruise ships use the central Apostolos Pavlos port, which has a newly built passenger terminal within walking distance of the city centre. From the harbour, the lanes of the Panagia old town climb to the fortress, and the arches of the Kamares aqueduct cross the centre.

The Tobacco Museum recalls the trade that made the city rich. Inland, the ruins of ancient Philippi are the most popular excursion.
