Think you know Greece? Before answering, allow us to introduce Kavala and Thassos, a city-and-island combo in northern Greece where you’ll discover Macedonian culture, magical beaches, mountain villages and delicious seafood
You’ll quickly realise that 5 days aren’t enough for your holidays in Kavala and Thassos. But if that’s all you’ve got, you’ll want to make the most of the multicultural charms of one of Greece’s most idiosyncratic coastal cities and the beaches and mountain villages of its northernmost island. Of course, you’re free to extend your stay or amend your itinerary in northern Greece in any way you wish. But for now … welcome to the highlights.
As an itinerary that’s been road-tested by Discover Greece, we’ve included the restaurants and experience providers that supported our journey – although there are, of course, plenty of alternatives out there. The trip is designed to be enjoyed best during summer … and if you can make that early or late summer (June or September/early October), so much the better. We’re assuming you’ll hire a car but you can also catch taxis and buses.
