Afitos or Athytos in Kassandra, Halkidiki, is a traditional village located 83 km from Thessaloniki. It has a spectacular view of Toroneos Bay as the village is built on a hill above the coast. Most houses are built of stone with an excellent architecture. Small squares, cobblestone streets and traditional taverns create a beautiful picture perfectly in harmony with the natural landscape. The visitor also has the opportunity to admire the unique architectural church of Ag. Dimitriou which was built in 1859 and is located in the central square of the village, mansions and famous sculptures of Vasilis Pavlis. In the center of the village you will find the folklore museum, which hosts various exhibitions of artists and you will be able to see the tools and utensils used in the past by local residents.
The village has a long history as there are indications of settlements since 3000 BC. Afitos, known as Aphitis, has grown to become a member of the Athenian Alliance. In 348 BC was completely destroyed by King Philip II and re-settled later. During the Roman Empire, he experienced a second great development probably due to the Ammon Zeus monument.
During the summer months, Afitos is flooded with tourists. Award-winning restaurants, traditional tavernas, cafes and bars for all tastes, are waiting for you to offer unforgettable moments during your stay in Halkidiki. We would highly recommend an afternoon walk in the streets of Afytos, discovering every corner, a romantic dinner at the restaurant "Sousourada and Sgouros Sakzhochos" or a cool cocktail at the well-known Boussoulas Bar, which is perched on the hill overlooking the sea. The historic center of the village is pedestrianized and you should park your car in adjacent roads. If you are in the village on the 15th of August do not miss the Panagia Panagia, a traditional feast with Greek music, dance and food. However, throughout July and August, artistic events are taking place within the Afitos Festival.
The long sandy beach of Afytos is long and there are several beach bars that can offer sun loungers and umbrellas. In the sea some places have stones and deep down.
Afitos is only 3 km away from the cosmopolitan Kallithea with its lively nightlife and is a good choice for your stay as the beaches of Sani and Nea Fokea

Nea Potidea (Nea Potidea) is a large village located at the beginning of the first foot of Halkidiki, Kassandra. Before the village there is a very thin strip of land in which a canal was built, the so-called Potidea Canal to serve ships that bombed the Toronaios bay to fish fresh fish. The canal is the main attraction of Potidea as it connects impressively Toroneo and Thermaikos bay. Both the western and the eastern side of Potidea are washed by the sea. Its organized beaches with beach bars and cafes are located on the eastern side overlooking the second leg, Sithonia. On the west steep coast, towards Thermaikos bay, there is the fish market where the fishermen tie and unload their fish. Here is one of the most famous fish taverns in Halkidiki, Marina.
Along the sandy beach of Potidea, a distance of about 2 km, there are cafes, restaurants, tavernas, beach bars, bars and clubs. The pedestrian street above the beach is full of life in the summer months and Potidea turns into a cosmopolitan place where Greek and foreign tourists, families with their children, young people and couples choose to live unforgettable moments and enjoy the sun and the sea.
Potidea is the entrance to the peninsula of Kassandra and in antiquity it was called "Cassandra Doors". Here is preserved the fortification wall of Justinian, which protected the ancient Potidea and Cassandra from the attacks. Nea Potidea was built by refugees from Platanos and eastern Thrace after 1920, who brought here the icon of St. George. The village has a kindergarten, a high school and several temples, most notably the church of St. George.
