Mesta to Kavala Route Map
Mesta to Kavala is one of the longest single legs in the northern Aegean, around twelve hours on the Seajets Aquablue. It runs the length of the eastern Aegean from southern Chios up to the Macedonian coast, calling at other islands on the way. Fares start around €29, which is modest for the distance covered.
Kavala is a substantial port city in Eastern Macedonia, with the old Panagia quarter climbing the headland above the harbour and the Kamares aqueduct crossing the town. It is a proper city rather than a resort, with an airport and good road connections. Philippi and the Thassos crossings are both close by.
The service runs about once a week in season, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Given the length of the crossing, this is worth treating as a full travel day rather than a leg to squeeze in. Mesta is a mastic village on southern Chios; Chios Town's main port, around thirty kilometres away, has far more frequent connections.

Tips for the Mesta to Kavala ferry
- Sunscreen and insect repellent are both considerably cheaper at a supermarket before you board than at island resort shops; stock up on the mainland.
- If you plan to sleep on deck, arrive early to claim a flat spot away from walkways and clear of engine exhausts.
- Even in July, the open deck at 03:00 can be surprisingly cool due to sea spray and wind – bring a light sleeping bag or a large travel blanket.
- Booking a multi-leg island-hopping itinerary in one session lets you verify that your connections are realistic before committing.
- The upper open deck in summer is exposed to full sun; apply sunscreen before boarding and reapply if you spend more than an hour on deck.
