The Archaeological Museum of PhilippiPhilippi is one of the most significant stops for those tracing the footsteps of Saint Paul.

Baptistry of St. LydiaSaint Lydia's Baptistery is a significant Christian pilgrimage site located near the ancient city of Philippi in Northern Greece. It commemorates Lydia of Thyatira, the first recorded European convert to Christianity, baptized by Saint Paul during his missionary journey (Acts 16:13-15). Biblical Significance of Lydia and Her Baptism Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth, was a wealthy and influential woman from Thyatira, residing in Philippi. She is described as a "worshiper of God," indicating she was likely a Gentile who revered the Jewish faith. Her conversion to Christianity marked a pivotal moment in the spread of the faith to Europe, making her one of the most significant figures in early Christian history. Saint Paul baptized Lydia and her household near a river outside the city gates of Philippi. This act symbolized the beginning of the Christian church in Europe.

At the peak of the Old Town proudly stands the fortress, a landmark of Kavala and one of its most stunning sights. The peak of the peninsula of Panagia is dominated by the Acropolis of Kavala, the largest part of which was built in the first quarter of the 15th century AD. The inner precinct was the most important part of the acropolis as it contained all the essential areas for its defence. Today, the visitor can see: The central circular tower, which was the last line of defence. The gunpowder and food store, which was later converted into a jail. The garrison, a space suitable for the quarters of the officers or guards. The water cistern. Two square and one polygonal tower can be seen in the walls of the outer precinct of the acropolis, while in its inner precinct there is an open-air theatre for cultural events and a cafe for visitors. From the upper level of the central circular tower, a wonderful view over the whole of the town of Kavala can be enjoyed.
