Visitors like to come to Afytos to stroll around its lovely streets, enjoy a meal or meze at its cafés and tavernas, and search its small shops for gifts and souvenirs of folk art or traditional products, such as jars of honey, soap made with olive oil, or ornate gourds – known as kratounes – once used by the townspeople to transport water.

The most breathtaking sunsets in northern Greece are visible from this spot, where the remains of ancient Mende, known throughout the Mediterranean for its wine, are still visible. Standing at the tip or “nose” of the cape near Poseidi, just past the Temple of Poseidon, you can watch the sun as it follows a rose-colored downward trajectory beginning over Pilio and ending as it disappears behind the sharp, snow-covered peak of Mount Olympus in the far distance.

A series of lovely natural bays begins just past the Xenia Coast, also known as Chroussou Bay, and continues as you head south. Next to the abandoned Xenia Hotel, a remnant of the Greek architectural boom of the 60s, is the welcoming Cabana Beach Bar.

newly built luxury hotel Miraggio Thermal Spa Resort; the idyllic Port Valitsa, barely visible from the road; and the charming village of Paliouri, which is well-known for its abundant nature, its choice honey and its fantastic beaches. The thick pine forest and the hills scattered through the area are perfect for exploring, while the quiet beaches with trees growing down to the shore make this the ideal choice for those who want to unplug for a while and commune with nature. Quite a few of the beaches are unmarked and hard to see from the road; you’ll have to make a quick stop at the village to get directions to the best swimming spots.

Entertainment & Activities
thermal springs 5k south of Aghia Paraskevi, in the settlement of Loutra. The baths themselves are in a unique location; the outdoor pool hangs over the sea, and the bewitching view is probably even more therapeutic than the sulfurous waters bubbling up at a steady 39°C. Loutra’s charming harbor, very close to the thermal springs, is great for an evening stroll and a meal, especially fresh seafood. But before that, have in mind that a path that begins near to where the springs are located and runs down the sea will take you to a seaside cave. Warm sea water with healing properties wells out here. Locals claim this is the best diving spot on the peninsula.
