What to expect

Your private walking tour begins at the point where you disembark from your ship. Accompanied by your licensed guide, you will walk through the lower city streets, taking in the Byzantine castle in the distance, Ottoman-era monuments, and modern cityscapes. You will visit the Archaeological Museum to admire local artifacts, then continue to see the historic aqueduct, old town walls, Imaret, and the birthplace of Mehmet Ali. At the old port, enjoy photo opportunities, watch the daily fishing activity, and optionally sample local cuisine at a renowned fish tavern. Afterward, you will have free time to explore the promenade, relax in a café, or shop at the local market before returning to your ship. The tour involves walking over uneven terrain and requires comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for the weather.

Your professional guide will meet you right at your ship to begin your private walking tour. Strolling mostly through the lower part of the city, you will learn about Kavala’s long and fascinating history while admiring the city’s Byzantine castle, Ottoman-era architecture, and the modern skyline. Highlights include the Archaeological Museum, the impressive 16th-century aqueduct known as Kamares, the old town walls, the Imaret—a monument of Islamic architecture built by Mehmet Ali—and the house where Mehmet Ali, founder of the Egyptian Empire, was born.
Your tour continues to the old port, where dozens of wooden fishing boats bring in fresh catches daily.
