Afitos is a very beautiful village, situated in the peninsula of Cassandra in Chalkidiki. It is built on a rock, which dominantly towers over the sea and looks a lot like an island of the Aegean. Its name has been preserved for thousands of years, either as Afitos which originated from the ancient name "Aphitis" or as its paraphrase "Athitos". The origin of the name comes from either a man named "Aphiteos" or from the ancient word "Aphitis" which means abundance of plants.
