Neapolis:

(new city) is the place in northern Greece where Paul and his associates first landed in Europe (Acts 16:11) where, no doubt, he landed also on his second visit to Macedonia (Acts 20:1) and whence certainly he embarked on his last journey through that province to Troas and Jerusalem (Acts 20:6). Philippi being an inland town, Neapolis was evidently the port, and is represented by the present Kavalla. (Kavalla is a city of 5,000 or 6,000 inhabitants, Greeks and Turks. Neapolis was situated within the bounds of Thrace, ten miles from Philippi, on a high rocky promontory jutting out into the Aegean Sea, while a temple of Diana crowned the hill‐top.-ED.)
