Embark on a journey to New Karvali, a city steeped in history as it continues the legacy of the ancient Cappadocian Karvali (Gelveri) and the historic church of Agios Grigorios. The adventure then leads you to the Holy Monastery of St. Apostle Silas, a significant religious monument in the region. As you venture further from the urban confines of Kavala, witness the landscape's dramatic transformation into a forested expanse, with the majestic Paggaio Mountain and Falakro dominating the backdrop of the Philippi plain.

The journey continues along the banks of the Zygaktis, where you'll have the opportunity to visit the baptistery of Lydia - the first woman in Europe to be baptised as a Christian. From there, proceed to the Monastery of Ikosifoinissa, once the spiritual and national heart of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace.

After a day filled with spiritual devotion and well-being, return to the bustling city of Kavala. Here, your enlightening expedition concludes at a popular local spot in the city centre. This immersive experience offers an unforgettable exploration of history, religion, and natural beauty.
