History of Kavala
Kavala (Greek: Καβάλα, Kavála [kaˈvala]) is a city in northern Greece, the principal seaport of eastern Macedonia and the capital of Kavala regional unit.
It is situated on the Bay of Kavala, across from the island of Thasos and on the Egnatia motorway, a one-and-a-half-hour drive to Thessaloniki (160 kilometres (99 miles) west) and a forty-minute drive to Drama (37 km (23 miles) north) and Xanthi (56 km (35 miles) east). It is also about 150 kilometers west of Alexandroupoli.
Kavala is an important economic centre of Northern Greece, a center of commerce, tourism, fishing and oil-related activities, and formerly a thriving trade in tobacco.
The etymology of the modern name of the city is disputed. Some mention an ancient Greek settlement of Skavala near the town.[citation needed] Others propose that the name is derived from the Italian cavallo which means horse. The city is situated on the ancient route of Via Egnatia; hence Cavala designated “the horses” (cavalla) where imperial couriers changed horses.[citation needed] The French traveller Bellon, who visited Kavala in 1547, mentions a local tradition that the city initially took its name from Alexander the Great, who named it “Bukephala”, after the name of his horse Bucephalus.[citation needed] Another possibility is that “Kavala” is a Turkish name, given by the Turks after they refounded the city at the beginning of the 16th century[citation needed]. Last but not least, as the historian Likourinos Kyriakos first pointed out, there was a Byzantine fortress named Kavala close to the Byzantine city of Ikonio – now Konya – in Asia Minor.[citation needed] When the Ottomans brought Muslim settlers from Ikonio to establish in the territory of Kavala at the beginning of the 16th century, these people brought the name of their homeland with them.[citation needed] Nowadays the city’s nickname is “the cyan city” (Η γαλάζια πόλη) and the symbol of the municipality of Kavala is the head of goddess Parthenos, the patron goddess of ancient Neapolis, as depicted in the coinage of the ancient Greek city.
