¡WELCOME TO KAVALA!

You will wake up in our next destination, Kavala, one of the most beautiful and important cities in northern Greece, located about 150 km from Thessaloniki.

The city was in the hands of the Athenians since the 5th century BC and was originally called Neapolis, then it was conquered by Philip II of Macedonia (Alexander the Great´s father), at that time it reached a great development until the end of the Macedonian State in 49 AD . It is said that St. Paul landed here on his way to Philippi, in what is considered the beginning of the route in Europe.

In addition, according to Greek mythology, wine was born here, since Dionysos himself, from his temple, taught the inhabitants to cultivate the vine. After visiting this beautiful city in northern Greece, at 20:00 hs our cruise will depart for our next destination, Thessaloniki.
