Marmita Microbrewery

In the port city of Kavala, an amphitheatre of Ottoman houses tumbling down towards its aqueduct and old harbour, Marmita is the classic story of a passion turned profession: five beers — a stout, an IPA, a saison, a red ale and a pale ale — brewed with a character and soul that Greek tourism media happily hold up as an example. The brewery sits on the small northern beer circuit linking Drama, Xanthi and Komotini, and makes the perfect stop between the old-town peninsula, the Byzantine castle and the ferry to Thasos. An address to seize for tasting Eastern Macedonian craft with your feet in the Aegean.
