Travel Tips
Plan Your Route**: Direct flights from Mykonos to Kavala are limited. Consider flying to Athens and then taking a domestic flight or a combination of train and bus to reach Kavala. Check schedules in advance for the best connections.
Book in Advance**: Flights, trains, and buses can fill up quickly, especially during peak tourist seasons. Secure your tickets ahead of time to ensure availability and potentially lower fares.
Timing is Key**: Allow ample time for transfers, especially if traveling through Athens. If flying, aim for flights that give you at least a 3-4 hour window for connecting transport to account for delays.
Luggage Considerations**: If you’re traveling by bus or train after your flight, pack light and ensure your luggage complies with the transport regulations. Some bus services may have strict limits on luggage size and weight.
Border Crossings**: If you're planning to continue your journey beyond Kavala (e.g., to Turkey), familiarize yourself with border crossing requirements. Ensure your passport is valid and check visa regulations, if applicable.
