Kavala – Philippi Tour from Thessaloniki
The archaeological site of Philippi, a UNESCO World Heritage monument, layers the Macedonian, Roman and early-Christian past of the city founded by Philip II — theatre, forum and basilicas, on the ground where Apostle Paul first preached in Europe.
The day winds down in seaside Kavala with its Venetian castle, the Kamares aqueduct and the picturesque harbour — time for lunch and a stroll before a comfortable ride home.
