Photographer’s Note

view from sea at Kavala city

Kavala, one of the most important cities of Greece, is situated in Northern Greece, 164 kilometers (100 miles) east of Thessaloniki. It is a beautiful city that, thanks to its pleasant climate, its fine beaches, and its modern hotels, attracts a large number of tourists and is an ideal place for vacations.

Built amphitheatrically on the hills, the city of Kavala extends its modern buildings to the sea. Kavala has beautiful large and sandy beaches. It is one of the rare cities that has a beach within it, with clean and usually calm sea. Its port receives commercial and tourist ships, as well as a fleet of picturesque fishing boats.

The products of this area are tobacco, marble, fish, and agricultural products. The tourist industry is very important for the area, with a very satisfying accommodation infrastructure.

Today Kavala is a city with modern architecture. The architectural remains of the 19th Century are some tobacco warehouses and a few nice mansions that, in the past, were characteristic constructions of the city.

The only part of the city where nothing has changed is the old district of Panaghia. Here the castle and the old houses reflect the various periods of Kavala's history.

Ciao Costantino,
Hai scelto un ottimo punto di ripresa per mostrarciquesta bellissima città. Mi piace l'inserimento in primo piano della scaletta, dell'elemento giallo e delle due barche. Ottima e luminosa cartolina da Kuvala.
Ti auguro uno splendido week end caro amico.
Ciao, Giorgio.

Ciao Costantino.
La bitta gialla bilancia bene le barche sul lato opposto, ed è raccordata al mare tramite i motivi grafici delle scalette.
Mi sembra un po' in pendenza verso destra, se non mi sbaglio.
:-)
Ciao.
Bobo.

Γεια σου Κωνσταντίνε,
Μια ακόμη όμορφη παρουσίασή σου με την πόλη της Καβάλας στο βάθος και τις αγαπημένες σου βάρκες να πρωταγωνιστούν άλλη μια φορά. Όμορφη σύνθεση με τον κίτρινο κάβο.
Σε χαιρετώ, Βασίλης.

Kalimera Costa,

This is nicely unknown side of view of Kavala. Old city texture adds great value for me with authentic architecture styles. Using single side of quay full with blue stairs and yellow pillar are makes your frame an attractive one with their splendid contrasts. Excellent one, congratulations. Ευθυμίες. Have a nice weekend.

Χαιρετισμούς,

Ertugrul

Hello Costantino,
I like the yellow, blue, red and green foreground and the view of the old town in the background. I spent a lot of time in Kavala in the late 1990's and enjoyed the city very much.
Best regards,
Gert
