Often skipped for Santorini or Athens, Kavala on Greece’s northern coast offers golden beaches, Ottoman aqueducts, and a Roman-era cityscape that rises from the harbor in tiers. Cruise guests can explore the Imaret (a stunning Islamic seminary turned luxury hotel), ancient Philippi ruins, and Byzantine fortresses—all in a single afternoon. Add in fresh seafood and a seafront promenade lined with cafés, and you’ve got the perfect mix of history, flavor, and Aegean sunshine—with a fraction of the crowds.
