Halkidiki Athitos ( Afitos)

Athitos or Afitos (Άθυτος) is one of the most picturesque village in Halkidiki. It is at the first peninsula of Kassandra, and very different to anything else around it. The village has its own architectural style, with old-stone built houses, coming straight from previous centuries. You will adore to stroll on the stone paved alleys, smell the flowers that the inhabitants adore to use everywhere, and sit and relax at one of the traditional taverns of the place. The village is built high above the sea, offering a fantastic view to the Toroneos Gulf, overlooking the peninsula of Sithonia. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting at one of the cafes and let your eyes spread over this view. As for the sea, Athitos has two organised beaches, with green waters and relaxing beach bars.

Athitos has enough hotels and rooms for rent, but, of course, you are advised to make your booking in advance (especially betweem 15 of July and 15 of August). Athitos is not the place for loud and 24h night life. In fact, the place is more romantic than a typical night life spot in summer halkidiki. However, Athitos (Afytos) is only 3klms away from Kalithea, the centre of clubbing of Halkidiki, and, (why not??) the whole of northern Greece during summer days.
