With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Kavala, 35 miles away, has to offer. Institute Mohamed Ali should be at the top of your list here. Archeological Museum of Kavala and Historical Ethnological Museum Kavala are also not to be missed. Locals will also probably point you toward Xanthi, 40 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Macedonian Tomb of Stavroupolis. (But we’re also huge fans of Gyftokastro Mountain and Livaditis Waterfall.)
