Afitos Things To Do

Situated in the peninsula of Kassandra in Chalkidiki, the beaches in Afitos are simply stunning; soft, golden sands leading to the warm and serene Mediterranean Sea, ideal for swimming and it makes for a tranquil environment. With hot weather typical of any Mediterranean holiday destination, you can soak up the sun and admire the remarkable views Afitos has to offer, whether it’s the elegant rocks that protrude from the water, or the backdrop of cliffs decorated with lush greenery. Along the northern end of the beach there is little development, making for a spectacle of natural beauty on which Afitos has prided itself for centuries. Here there is a semi-secret cove to be discovered, perfect for winding down or sunbathing in peace. 

 

Afitos is known as something of a hotbed for traditional Greek cuisine. On holiday in Afitos you can sample such culinary delights as rich honey and olives fresh from its ancient groves, giving you a unique and authentic experience of Greek living. Tavernas, cafes and bars situated conveniently between the village and beach offer traditional food and drink as affordable as they are delectable, with eateries all sharing a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere.

 

As well as its stunning architecture and physical beauty, Afitos is steeped in history. A stroll around the traditional village is a must when holidaying in Afitos, where you can walk the same cobbled streets as Aristotle and Xerxes, and learn about the village’s significance in the 1821 revolution. Old houses and churches around the village are painstakingly preserved and help make Afitos a living, breathing museum of Greek culture. The cliff-top village also offers breathtaking views of the coastline below allowing you to fully immerse yourself in what the Greek getaway has to offer.
