The Monastery of Agios Silas is dedicated to the Apostle Silas, who accompanied Saint Paul on his journey to Philippi. A small church was built here in 1937 at the spot where, according to Christian tradition, Paul, Silas, Timothy and Luke rested en route to Philippi. While it's not a “must-see location”, it's quite photogenic and offers a nice view of Kavala.
The Via Egnatia is the ancient Roman road which ran across the Balkans between the port of Durrës (Albania) and Istanbul connecting the Adriatic Sea and the Bosporus. This first “highway” across the Balkans was built around 146 BC. Kavala was an important station along its route. A few hundred meters of the ancient road are well preserved. Unfortunately the place is not signposted and needs a bit searching. Going out of Kavala center (on 7is Merarchia Str.) there is a parking area and view point 750 m after the Hotel Egnatia on the left street side. From there a path leads 150 m downhill to the Egnatia.
