My modern wonder

Mehmet Ali’s house is not just a tourist attraction but one of the monuments of Greece’s cultural heritage. Built in the late 18th century, it is a remarkable example of Ottoman architecture and adds a touch of old eastern charm to the old town of Kavala. The mansion was the birthplace of Mehmet Ali, the founder of modern Egypt, and today it serves as a museum that shows the historical and cultural connections between Greece and Egypt.

One of the most important monuments and sights of our city is the Tobacco Museum.

It is located very centrally and is a magnet for both tourists and the ordinary people who visit it daily. So in this magnificent high-ceilinged building, in the previous century, working women and men, including my own grandmother, used a few tobacco leaves to make varieties of cigars and cigarettes.This was a small miracle.

My modern wonder is a place near Kavala called the “Water Road” in Palia Kavala. It’s a beautiful path next to a river, and it’s especially amazing in spring.

It shows the connection between nature, history, and the fun of exploration.

The Aqueduct of Kavala, popularly known as the Kamares, is a well-preserved monument in the old city of Kavala, Greece, and one of the city’s most famous landmarks.
The Ottomans built the aqueduct, and it was used to transport water to the citizens of Panagia.
Many authors believe that it was built around 1522. I really like how it still stands strong after so many centuries — it’s like a bridge between the past and the present.

The Church of Saint Lydia in Kavala is a special symbol of Christianity in Europe.
It stands near Philippi, where Lydia, the first woman baptized by Apostle Paul, became a Christian. This makes the church an important historical and religious place.

It connects the past and the present, teaching us about tradition and faith. The church is like a silent history book that reminds us of our roots.
The nearby baptismal site is impressive because it keeps alive the memory of the first baptism.

Surrounded by a river and green nature, the church offers peace and harmony. For me, it is more than just a building — it is a place of faith, family, and unity.

The area is also an important archaeological site. For many centuries, Aliki was famous for its marble. Visitors can walk among the old marble quarries and even see big pieces of marble still in the sea. They can also visit the remains of early Christian basilicas, which were built on top of ancient Greek temples for gods like Apollo and the Dioscuri, the protectors of sailors.

One of the most interesting places in my city is the Halil Bey Mosque, which we also call the "Old Music Hall." What makes it a true wonder is that it's like a building with many layers of history. It was built as a mosque in the 1530s on top of an older Christian church, and you can still see the church ruins through a glass floor! Over the years, it has been a school, a home for refugees, and even a hall for the city's orchestra. For me, it's a wonder because it shows how one single place can hold so many different stories from our city's past.
