Well-preserved, it was cleaned and repaired few years ago. It looks like new now and is one of the city's landmarks. It is of Roman origin but the present structure dates to the 16th century during Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent's repair and improvement of the Byzantine fortifications. It reaches up to 25 m high, 280 m long and contains 60 arches. Interesting to see are also some old houses that were built into this monument. If you go 100 m up the street on the side of the new town (Hellenikis Dimokratias Str.) and turn right into the 1st street (Konstantinidou Str) after 50 m (in front of the school) you find the start of the Aqueduct. You can even climb on it a few meters to take nice photos of the Aqueduct plus Old Town.
The Aqueduct of Kavala, popularly known as the Kamares, is a well-preserved aqueduct in the city of Kavala, Greece, and is one of the city's landmarks.

In the sheltered bay, there has been a small, very photogenic boatyard since 1591, which deals with the construction, repair and maintenance of traditional wooden boats (and nowadays not only wooden ones).
With a mosaic showing the landing of the Apostle Paul in Kavala on Kontouriotou Street, it's a “must-see place”. The old, somewhat run-down neighbourhood surrounding the church has many great cafés, ouzo bars, restaurants and small shops. It is especially attractive in the summer evenings when it is a great place to have a beer.

To the right (when viewed from the sea) is the old St Nikolas quarter, with its pubs, restaurants and small shops, which give an impression of what the town was like many years ago. To the left of the square is a modern shopping district with pedestrianised zones and a large number of small shops and cafés. In front of the National Bank is a station for a train-like bus that goes to the old town every hour (except on Sundays). This is a good alternative if you don't want to climb the hill to the old town on foot. Next to the bank is the tourist information centre, which offers friendly assistance and free maps.
On a hill above the town. Its biggest part was built in the 15th century. To get there it will take a 15–20 minutes walk from the harbour. A wonderful sea view and also a great view over the city. A simple romantic cafeteria invites you to linger.
It is partially a pedestrian area with narrow streets lined with shops of all kinds and numerous street cafés. You shouldn't miss the opportunity to go window shopping here. There are also pubs and restaurants there in the evening.
It is the central point for recreational, commercial, business and tourist activity. It caters for the fishing fleet, tourism and ferry boats travelling to and from Thassos, Limnos and Mytilene, as well as water sports at its marina.
