The day begins at Kavala’s working port, where teak decks warm under the sun and the harbor breeze tugs at your hat. As the motor eases and sails fill, the Aegean opens ahead—glints of turquoise around headlands, pines leaning toward the water, and seabirds calling the route. You cross toward Thassos, the island famous for its pale marble cliffs, and the coastline unfolds: Makryammos for the first swim, then the bright limestone shelves of Marble Beach, and long, wind-brushed Golden Beach.
