The ancient site of Philippi - originally a Macedonian settlement, passed through Roman and Greek hands, then the Turks, but the Greeks now collect the entrance fee. |

You just have to do it! Must have been a great place to read the paper. |
There is not much evidence of the Macedonian occupation, but the Roman and later Christian influence is well documented. |

The nearby port city of Kavala grew in importance because of its access to Philippi. It is an interesting town with Turkish influence. The remains of a 16th century aqueduct slice through the town. A walk up through the narrow streets of the old town is rewarded with a beautiful sunset, and then it is time for a relaxing meal of local fish. |
