Afitos

Accommodation

Afitos has a rich history which dates back thousands of years.The village has a preservation order on buildings and future developments so the charm of this village will never be lost.

When visiting Afitos you’ll see the cobbled streets of an old-world village, set on a hillside above a white sand bay. The sand is fine, the village is friendly, and though there's a fairly steep path in between, there are tavernas and a beach bar down by the gently shelving shore … so you needn't come back to the village for a leisurely lunch. Walk off your meal at the water's edge and, if you go right to the northern end, you're rewarded with the discovery of a semi-secret cove. Quiet, sheltered and ideal for an afternoon of undisturbed sun-worship. Back in Afitos, evenings are low key – focused on the few bars and traditional tavernas. A perfect places for a relaxed holiday.
