Kavala’s history has been shaped for centuries around its natural harbour — a sheltered bay that has welcomed sailors, merchants and entire civilisations. As you explore the city from the sea, you witness this storey unfolding before your eyes: ancient fortifications, colourful houses climbing the hillside, and the timeless rhythm of a harbour that has always been alive with trade, craftsmanship and maritime life.
Relax on deck with a glass of local wine or ouzo and meze, and let the scenery guide you through Kavala’s past. The fishing boats sway gently in the marina, and the coastline reveals landmarks that tell the tale of a city shaped by the Aegean. It’s a moment where history, sea and flavour come together — a true Mediterranean experience.
Begin your private sailing tour from the marina in the Port of Kavala. As the yacht sets sail, enjoy the gentle breeze and admire the amphitheatrical Old Town rising above the water, while learning about the city’s rich past.
Cruise east along the rocky shoreline beneath the Old Town — a beloved swimming and diving spot for local teenagers. Continue towards iconic landmarks such as Kamares (the Aqueduct), the historic wooden fishing‑boat shipyard, and the Broken Bridge.
Then turn west and glide past the Fish Auction House Port, the Courthouse of Kavala, the Lucy Hotel, and Kalamitsa Beach — the city’s largest and most popular urban beach. Drop an anchor to popular Batis Beach to enjoy a half and hour stop, with the option for a refreshing dive and swim in the crystal‑clear waters of the Aegean.
