    The trail from Palaia Kavala to Kavala This fascinating trail links the settlement of Palaia Kavala with the city of Kavala. This is a relatively gentle 10.5km trail which crosses a typical Mediterranean landscape of kermes (downy) oaks, junipers, elms, maples and oriental hornbeams. It winds along streams with lush vegetation and water dominating throughout. The trail is well signposted and provides many viewpoints with resting places allowing for a not-too-strenuous hike along a route of particular environmental and historical interest. The first part of the trail is about 5.5km long, leading to Mana tou nerou (= mother of the water ) which provided the main source of water for Kavala over the centuries. The second section of 5km, continuing from Mana tou nerou to Agios Konstantinos in the northern outskirts of the town, has long been known as “the waterway”. This follows the water channel, which conveyed water to the rocky peninsula of Panaghia , where the historic part of the city is situated. The trail crosses bridges, fountains and purifying cisterns of the medieval aqueduct of Kavala, highlighting a centuries-old water route and a great historic public construction. 1 Palaia Kavala, the starting point of the trail, has enormous historical and environmental resonance, being in close proximity to several archaeological sites such as Philippi and the prehistoric Dikili Tash . The trail’s end, Kavala, with the Kamares , the Panaghia peninsula and the castle further emphasise its cultural importance. 2 PALAIA KAVALA Distance : 5,667.5 m Time : 2-2.5 hrs Difficulty rate : easy MANA TOU NEROU From Palaia Kavala to ...”Mana tou nerou” Palaia Kavala, in the foothills of the Lekani mountain range, is the starting point of the trail and can be reached either from the Kavala-Drama road by following the signs for Zygos and Palaia Kavala or, alternatively, from the Kavala-Xanthi road by turning leſt at the Chalkero junction and following the signs for Palaia Kavala.

  • Evolution of Turnover of Enterprises in Accommodation and Food Service Activities
    HELLENIC REPUBLIC HELLENIC STATISTICAL AUTHORITY Piraeus, 22 September 2020 PRESS RELEASE EVOLUTION OF TURNOVER OF ENTERPRISES IN ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD SERVICE ACTIVITIES JULY 2020 The Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) with this ad hoc sectoral publication, presents the map with the evolution of the turnover of enterprises classified in the Accommodation and Food and Beverage Service Activities divisions. These economic activities have been over time in the focus of interest due to the significant weight they bear on the Greek economy as a whole, but also due to their extensive dispersion, with a significant presence in all regional units and a significant contribution to the respective local economies of Greece, often associated with the tourist product of the country. At the same time, under the recent circumstances, the monitoring and dedicated publication of the evolution of these economic activities has become imperative, given the direct and indirect adverse impact they have been subjected to, due to the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The current publication is part of the ad hoc Press Releases series published by ELSTAT (PR link), since April 2020. Similar publications have been planned to be released on a monthly basis, throughout the whole period during which the regular monitoring of the evolution of the turnover of enterprises providing Accommodation, Food and Beverage Service Activities will remain relevant and warranted. In particular, the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) announces data on a monthly and quarterly basis and at the regional unit country-level of analysis, for the turnover of enterprises classified in the divisions Accommodation, Food and Beverage Service Activities (divisions 55 and 56 of the NACE Rev.2 classification) for the period 2019-2020.
