The house of shadow was made to accommodate shadow artworks. In the convention hall you can you can see sculptures made from trash, which when appropriately light, they produce recognizable shadow forms.

We were very lucky to have found this place. A unique experience that comes to live with the narration of the creator. The concept and the execution is exquisite as well as the storied behind each exhibit. A must for you visit!

It was my first time walking with friends towards the castle maybe little tricky finding it as you need to past by the houses along the alley to the top of the hill. There are directions and you may have to take some stairs or steep hill to get there. Its a beautiful scene make sure its a sunny day to enjoy the view from the top. It was really enjoyable for me and friends and certainly for those whom loves nature, scenary and photography.

This is a city oasis, a relaxing park where you can dip your feet in the water or grab a bite to eat and a drink, all while listening to the sound of a babbling stream while watching nature, direct in the heart of the city. Five walk minutes to shopping and a host of activities.

You have to spent time there, as it is a very nice experience, especially for children. The video must be seen in order to have a spherical view of the hard work of all people there. They really love their work and the nature and work for this, in this area of Greece/Europe. YOu have to also choose the sort trip with small van. It is a really in nature experience for all ages.
5. The Aquaduct

Reviewed By visitkavala - Kavala, Greece
The most characteristic monument of Kavala is the large, arched aqueduct, known by the name “Kamares” (Arches), with a length of 270 m and a maximum height of 25 m. They were built in 1520-1530, a period during which many infrastructure works were carried out in Kavala, with the aim of reconstructing the city after the destruction of 1391. The Kamares are a huge structure, out of proportion to the size of the then insignificant settlement.

The best beach I've ever visited in Greece. It is huge and has the same soft sand as at the Black sea, Bulgaria.

Panagia, the old town of Kavala, is much prettier and less ramshackle than the old town area of Thessaloniki (in my opinion) and is a lovely area to explore and, probably, get lost in. Follow the street up from opposite St Paul's monument (with the luminous mosaic) and head upwards. If you decide to go up any of the stairs on the left, you may well find yourself having to come back down again, but that is part of the charm of the area. There are places to eat and gift shops, but everything is relaxed and understated, rather than pushy and tacky. Apart from the castle (with lovely views of the aquaduct and the city), there are portions of the old city walls, the Halil Bey Mosque, Mehmet Ali's residence and the Imaret to discover within Panagia's twisty streets. And despite the effort needed in the walk up, remember that what goes up comes down again!
8. Mohammed Ali's House

Reviewed By visitkavala - Kavala, Greece
Mohammed Ali’s Residence is considered one of the most characteristic surviving examples of 18th-century Ottoman architecture in Greece. In its south section is the selamlik, containing the men’s quarters, where the men spent their days and worked, the pasha’s private room, and the reception areas for guests. In the north section is the harem, where the women’s quarters are located, the bath (hamam) and the “sofa”. The fitted wooden cupboards and fireplaces are particularly interesting decorative features. In the Square named for Mohammed Ali (1769-1849), which is located in the Panagia peninsula, in the Old Town of Kavala, his residence and statue can be found.

This was one of the best beaches I have ever seen. Very clean and clear water, lots of available taverns and bars, sufficient parking places; everything suited to our taste during the day-trip. It may even be a perfect choice for a prolonged vacation.
