Topping the slopes of Mount Symvolo by the cobalt-blue of the Aegean Sea, Kavala is a halo of whitewashed homes and red-tiled roofs lofted neatly above the water. It melds the Greek and the Turkic with flurries of Ottoman architecture and fish-sizzling tavernas. This is one seriously immersive district, where historical landmarks and cardamom-scented coffee houses lie interspersed with stunning beaches.
