This impressive monument is one of the oldest and most important buildings of the city. It is located on the hillside of the acropolis hill, in contact with the eastern wall of the city, on which it rests. Its initial phase, which is modern with the city walls, dates back to the years of King Philip II of Macedonia (in the 4th century BC) and its dimensions prove that it is one of the largest theaters of antiquity.
Eventhough it has sustained many changes throughout the centuries and some interventions so that it can host the Philippi Festival, it still preserves many of its original elements.

The old aqueduct in the city center is a unique monument of the 16th century, 270m long and 25m tall. It was used until the beginning of the 20th century to carry the water into the old town of Kavala. It is probably the most important and well known monument of the city.

The thermal springs are a 30minute ride away from the city of Kavala and are easily accessible by car. Although they are not in operation anymore, the visitors can enjoy their bath in a quiet place. Keep in mind to bring your own towels and a second swimming suit.

Historical hotel, restaurant and bar with a great view of the port. Lies on the pricy side but delicious food and the exceptional make it worth a visit.
The historical background:
This development was built in 1817 by Mohamed Ali Pasha. Mohamed Ali Pasha’s parents died at his very early age and he was adopted by the keeper in Kavala. He then married in to a wealthy family and used its wealth to stand by his land. In 1801 he was knighted kinghood by the Sultan, and became a very positive and active member of the revolution of 1821. He was solely responsible for the strong foundations and the re-strategizing situation of Nilo. Mohamed Ali Pasha died in Alexandria in 1849 and up to this day he is known as the great leader of Kavala with the outmost respect.
The Imaret development was built by Mohamed Ali Pasha in 1817 to serve as a teaching seminary school. This it did up to 1902 and from 1902 – 1923 it acted as a charitable retreat providing sleeping headquarters for 60 people, libraries and teaching classes together with daily food. From 1923 onwards the Imaret was used throughout the years as a restaurant, museum and coffee shop. It was being neglected and abandoned. Lately, the historic symbolism of this estate was estimated and these historical grounds were restored and converted the greatness of Imaret into one of the most exclusive boutique hotels in Greece. Through this renovation the site has been brought back to life with grandness and greatness.
