From grilled meats to moussaka, you’re in for a treat. So, grab your sunscreen and appetite, because Afitos Beach is where beach — full moments are made!

Once Upon A Time

Check out the Folklore Museum of Afitos for a blast from the past. You'll be surrounded by cool stuff like old costumes, pottery, and tools that give you a peek into how people lived here back in the day. But the real star of the show? Those Karagiozis Shadow-Theatre puppets! Made by the famous Evyenios Spatharis, these stole the spotlight back in '99, and they're still kicking around the museum — they're a must-see! So, if you're into history and a bit of puppet magic, this place is right up your alley.

Explore The City Square

Let us tell you about Afytos Central Square—it's the spot where the village comes alive! If you want to go sightseeing, you've got to peep the Church of Agios Dimitrios; it's like stepping into a picture-perfect postcard of Byzantine beauty! Afterwards, grab a seat at a cosy cafe and get ready for some primo people-watching. Don't forget to check out the local shops for some cool stuff to bag—think pottery, bling, and beach gear. When’s it's time to satisfy your hunger, dive into some classic Greek food at the tavernas; you're in for a treat, whether it’s fresh calamari or some moussaka. And keep your ears peeled—you might just catch some sweet tunes from street performers jamming nearby.

Try Village-Hopping

Afitos is the ultimate launchpad for exploring neighbouring gems. A leisurely 40-minute walk to Kalithea or a 5-minute drive is just the beginning of your Greek village saga! Dive into the region's rich past while soaking in the Mediterranean sun, where ancient history comes alive with the breathtaking ruins of the Temple of Zeus and the Sanctuary of Dionysus.  Head to Polychrono, a 6-mile drive, for a taste of vibrant village life, where lively vibes mingle with sandy shores. Think bustling markets, charming cafes, and, of course, those postcard-perfect beaches.

Day Tour To Thessaloniki

They call it "the City that Never Sleeps" for a reason—it's a total cultural hotspot with tons of cool stuff to check out. Hit the White Tower, this epic old prison turned museum where you can soak in killer views of the city. Then, swing by the Archaeological Museum to geek out over ancient artefacts—it's like time-travelling through Greece's past! But wait, for some killer views of the harbour and the Gulf, take a stroll along the waterfront; it's the perfect way to soak in the buzzing atmosphere.
