Here are 4 of the must see beaches when visiting Kavala, Greece:
1. Keramoti Ammoglossa Beach
After visiting this beach, you’ll understand why “Ammoglossa” literally translates to “sand tongue”. The stretch of land extending out into the sea and combines a pine forest, sand and the blue Aegean water – making for a picturesque beach. There is also a beach bar, cafes, and tavernas nearby; as well as all the amenities you’d expect a tourist beach to have.

This long stretch of sand caters to everyone’s taste. If it’s a buzzing beach you’re after with beach bars to party long into the night – Ammolofoi has you covered. However, if you’re after a quiet little corner to enjoy a secluded swim – you can also find this here.
