Ferry from Prinos to Kavala

Prinos to Kavala is the alternative crossing off Thassos, going straight to the mainland city rather than to Keramoti. Thassos Seaways runs it in about an hour on a conventional car ferry. It saves the drive along the coast if Kavala itself is where you are heading.

Kavala is a historic port city in Eastern Macedonia, built up the hillside above its harbour, with the Panagia old town, a castle and the Kamares aqueduct all within walking distance of the quay. It is a proper city rather than a resort, with good food and a busy waterfront. Philippi, the archaeological site, is a short drive inland.

The service runs roughly once a day, with more sailings in the summer months. Current departures and fares are shown in the table below. Kavala has its own airport and bus links west to Thessaloniki and east to Xanthi and Alexandroupoli.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Prinos to Kavala ferry

• Economy deck class is the cheapest option and perfectly comfortable on short crossings – you have access to indoor seating, outside decks, and all onboard facilities.
• Greek coffee on ferries is reliably good – a frappe or freddo espresso on the outside deck is one of the pleasures of Aegean travel.
• When booking a multi-island itinerary, save a PDF or screenshot of each confirmation; email may not load reliably when you are at a small island port.
• Some operators offer loyalty discounts for repeat bookings – if you travel regularly in Greece, it is worth registering an account with the major companies.
