Kavala, Greece - by drone [4K].

Hello and welcome to the stunning aerial footage of the town of Kavala, center of regional unit of Kavala in Eastern Macedonia, northern Greece.

Kavala is a beautiful coastal city in northern Greece, blending rich history with vibrant modern life. One of its most prominent landmarks is the Kavala Castle, perched atop the old town, offering stunning panoramic views of the city and the Aegean Sea. The castle's walls and towers tell stories of the city’s long history, from Byzantine times to the Ottoman period.

Walking through the old town, you will find charming churches with Byzantine roots, such as the Church of St. Nicholas, which highlight the city's Christian heritage. Equally striking is the Khalil-Bey Mosque, a symbol of Kavala's Ottoman past, featuring a beautiful blend of Islamic architecture and local influence.

Kavala’s coastline is graced with popular beaches. Rapsani Beach, located near the city center, offers crystal-clear waters and views of the port, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. Kalamitsa Beach, just a short drive away, is another favorite, ideal for swimming and sunbathing in a more tranquil setting.

Historically, Kavala was an important hub on the Via Egnatia, the ancient Roman road that connected the Adriatic Sea to Byzantium (modern-day Istanbul). Remnants of this once vital trade route can still be found in and around the city, reminding visitors of its strategic importance throughout history. Lastly, the hilltop Profitis Ilias offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle, featuring a small church and breathtaking views of the surrounding area, making it a perfect place for a peaceful walk or contemplation.

Enjoy beauty of Kavala!
