A city built around its harbor, seen from the water.
Kavala’s history has been shaped for centuries around its natural harbor, a sheltered bay that has welcomed sailors, merchants and entire civilizations. From the deck you watch that story unfold: ancient fortifications, colorful houses climbing the hillside, and a working port that has never stopped.
The signature tour is designed especially for visitors arriving on cruise ships: departure and return times flex around your ship’s schedule, and we meet you at the boat.
Relax on deck while your skipper tells the tale, in Greek or English. History and sea in one afternoon.
Ways to sail
From a simple hour on the water to the full signature experience. All private, all aboard Pipit.

On longer custom outings we drop anchor off Batis Beach for a swim in crystal-clear Aegean water before sailing back to the marina.
