Afytos is a non-standard place, quite different from other popular resorts on Kassandra. The beach is not on par with other Kassandra beaches, but the style of the place is something that attracts tourists to always return.
The beach is sandy with a little gravel, in some parts there are a lot of rocks at the entrance, so that trails are made that enter the depth. There are deck chairs with parasols along the beach. It is located below the site and there is local transport leading to them. Most tourists do not have a problem walking and walking on the beach because it is only a 15 minute walk. There are several small bays where there is less crowds for all those who love peace and quiet.
