Afitos - Chalkidiki

Afitos is a beautiful village, situated on the Kassandra peninsula, between Kallithea and Nea Fokea in Chalkidiki. It is built on a rock and  looks like an island of the Aegean. Afitos is a place with lots of natural beauty where visitors can enjoy the clearest and warmest water of the Mediterranean Sea.

It is a place of great historical and environmental significance because you will find here the ancient millstone quarries, as well as important biotopes where most fish species come to spawn. Here, the visitor can see the primitive nature of Chalkidiki, where the native pine trees water their roots in the waters of the Toroneos gulf.

The most amazing sight is the traditional village of Afitos with its 28 century-long history. Resisting the unorganized tourist housing development and in order to maintain their cultural inheritance pure, the inhabitants of Afitos have been trying to develop their place through their culture by promoting the natural beauty as well as the traditional village and the ancient history of their place.
