Ancient Phillippi and nice beach - Great guide and driver. Well organized., Loved Phillipi and swimming but could skip Kavala. Would have liked seeing where Paula met Lydia.

Kavala & Philippi worth visiting but Pkan Wisely - Kavala’s stunning views and Philippi’s impressive archaeological site make this trip worth visiting. However, the “swim” stop at a beach club came with extra charges and limited sunbeds, and visiting Philippi at 15:00 in peak summer heat made it hard to appreciate. An earlier visit would make the experience much better.
