Port of Kavala
The Port of Kavala — officially named 'Apostolos Pavlos' — sits right at the heart of this striking northern Greek city, where the Byzantine aqueduct looms over the waterfront and the old town climbs the hillside above you. It handles everything from passenger ferries and fishing boats to leisure craft, so the quays are always alive with activity. Stroll the harbor early morning and you'll catch the fishing fleet coming in before the cafés along the waterfront fill up — the old tobacco warehouses and the castle district are just a short walk away.
