About Renting a Car at Kavala Port

Kavala harbor is the city's pulsing heart with departures to Thassos and direct connection to the historic Panagia district above. Two rental companies at the harbor make it easy to combine ferry travel with car rental to explore the region. Ancient Philippi is 15 km to the west via a quick drive.

The harbor area is lined with fishing boats, cafés and restaurants serving fresh fish from the Aegean Sea. The Byzantine aqueduct running through the city is visible from the harbor promenade. The Thassos ferry departs several times daily and takes 70 minutes to Limenas.

Park your rental car in the modern harbor garage before taking the ferry to Thassos - it's cheaper than taking the car aboard.
