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

• A lightweight drybag or small tote is handy for beach days on islands – it doubles as your day bag on short crossings when you leave your main bag at the hotel.
• Keep valuables – wallet, passport, phone – in a small day bag you carry on board; never leave them in checked luggage or in your car on the car deck.
• When travelling with a motorcycle, book and pay for the vehicle space at the same time as your passenger ticket – vehicle spaces can sell out separately.
• Children under a certain age travel free on most Greek ferry lines; the exact age threshold varies by operator, so check the terms when booking.
