One of the most famous sights of the city of Kavala is the Aqueduct, which locals call Kamares (translated from Greek means "arch"). Magnificent old building connects the old and new parts of the city. Aqueduct is a three-level structure of the arch (the level of the city, the water level and the level of the birds) length of 280 m and a height of 25 m. Up to now remained about 60 arches of four different sizes.

Aqueduct is located in the eastern part of the city center on the square Nikozara and in close proximity to the area of ​​Panagia (Old Town), the old market and the old city docks. Thanks to the aqueduct city was constantly supplied with drinking water that flowed down from the mountain sources of Pangea.

Despite the fact that the aqueduct itself has a "Roman origin" structure that we see today dates from the 16th century. Aqueduct built by order of Suleiman the Magnificent in place of old ruins of the Byzantine walls of the early 14th century. These ancient walls were built under Andronicus II Palaiologos as urban strengthening protection against the Catalans. The wall was also hidden water that supplies the city with water from the source. In the early 15th century, the city was attacked, and the water was destroyed. This is one of the few examples of Byzantine aqueducts, as the Byzantines themselves mainly used wells and special tanks for water storage. During the rule of the Ottoman Empire, the remnants of Byzantine buildings were replaced by a real arched aqueduct (1530-1536).

Kamares Aqueduct was used to provide the city with water even before the beginning of the 20th century. In 1997 it was carried out restoration work of this monumental building. Today the ancient construction is the hallmark of the city.
