The Museum of Greek Refugees in Kavala tells the story of the Orthodox Christian communities forcibly displaced from Asia Minor and settled in and around the city following the 1922 population exchange. Its collection includes heirlooms, books, documents and photographs that families carried with them, alongside everyday items that trace how refugee communities rebuilt their lives in villages such as Nea Peramos and Nea Karvali. The museum forms part of a wider network of local institutions, alongside the Cappadocian museum in Nea Karvali, dedicated to preserving the layered migration history of the Kavala area.
