Kavala (Greece)

Kavala is a coastal city located in the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece. Situated on the northern shore of the Aegean Sea, it serves as a significant seaport and commercial hub in the area. With a history dating back to ancient times, Kavala boasts architectural remnants from various periods, including Byzantine, Ottoman, and Neoclassical influences. The city's economy is diverse, encompassing sectors such as shipping, manufacturing, tourism, and agriculture. Kavala is also known for its cultural heritage, hosting festivals, events, and museums that showcase its rich history and traditions.

The development of the urban fabric takes place linearly, alongside the marine front, as the mountainous volume and intense altitudinal curves make it impossible to extend the structure to the north, as evidenced by the density of saturation building in some areas. As a result, the strong anarchic construction exhibited by most of the half-residential areas directly affected public open spaces. In some segments, dense construction makes it difficult or even prohibits pedestrians from accessing the coastline.
