Houses in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace The eastern part of the ancient kingdom of Alexander the Great, Eastern Macedonia is a region off the tourist trail. Yet it offers magnificent landscapes to the Turkish border, alternating between mountains and fertile plains with numerous rivers. The Nestos delta is a wonderful haven for thousands of rare birds. An eastern influence is strongly felt in this region. Kavala, a pretty stepped town on a hill facing the sea, is an example of the Ottoman footprint with, among other things, its magnificent aqueduct built by Soliman the Magnificent. And keen bathers can rest assured that there are many beaches with crystal clear water. The real estate market in Macedonia-Oriental offers many investment opportunities at very attractive prices, especially around Kavala: building plots, apartments, houses, large villas ... The choice is yours.
