Next destination is the Old Town of Kavala, a picturesque place with interesting spots. You can wander around the Old Town, walk through its cobbled alleys, taste the local flavours and explore some important historical monuments of the city such as the Fortress of Kavala, the “Kamares” and the complex of Halil Bey.
