Highly recommended for anyone! - An unforgettable day trip to Kavala and Philippi with the wonderful guide Stella and driver Ioannis! Stella’s passion and deep knowledge brought history to life as we explored the ancient ruins of Philippi, including the theater and the site of Apostle Paul’s imprisonment.

Stella's engaging storytelling and personalized touch made this journey through history both enriching and enjoyable.

Private trip from Thessaloniki to Kavala with igohellas! - Our trip from Thessaloniki to Kavala with our driver Mr. Apostolos and our tour guide Mrs. Lydia was absolutely fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed the scenic route through the picturesque countryside. The Lion of Amphipolis was an impressive sight, a true testament to ancient craftsmanship. Walking in the footsteps of Apostle Paul in the ancient macedonian city of Philippi was a deeply moving and insightful experience.

Kavala - Had a great time touring Kavala and Philippi with Dimitris. The tour was interesting and well-organized – we saw the best spots and learned a lot without any overload. The car was comfortable and clean, and the ride enjoyable. If you're looking for someone to show you the area right, Dimitris is a solid choice.
