Orthodox monks built these monasteries, which are also on the UNESCO World Heritage List, in the early periods of Christianity in order to retreat and be closer to God. This region, which was under the sea millions of years ago, emerged over time as the waters receded, and the monks built their monasteries on the tops of these gigantic rocks. At the time they were built, no access road to the top of the rocks was possible, and the monks reached the monasteries for years by pulling one another up with net elevators made of rope. After the tour, we head to Ioannina. After arriving in Ioannina, we begin our city tour. Ioannina, the largest city in the Epirus region, is also known as the city of Tepedelenli Ali Pasha.

One of the most important centers of Western Thrace, Kavala’s history dates back to the 600s BC.

Among the places to visit and see in Kavala is the Old Town called Panagia. The first place we will see as we head toward the old town is the Church of St. Nicholas.

Other historical places we will see on our tour: Kavala Castle, the house of Mehmed Ali Pasha of Kavala, the imaret used today as a hotel, the aqueduct, and the old town inside the castle.
