In this thesis, the physical and mechanical properties were determined, followed by the mineralogical and petrographic characterization of marble samples extracted from an active quarry of the Regional Unit of Kavala (PE Kavala), which belongs to the company DERMITZAKI Bros. To this end, representative volumes of marble were taken from which cylindrical specimens of various sizes were formed for the performance of laboratory mechanical tests (bending, uniaxial compression, indirect tensile) in accordance with international standards. In addition, the mineralogical and petrographic composition was studied, chemical analysis was determined and physical properties such as apparent density and active porosity were determined. On the basis of these analyses the marble is characterized as calcareous with a calcite content of 97 to 99 % and a medium strength (86 MPa) suitable for external cladding and flooring.
