5 Days in Halkidiki: An Inspired Stay in Afitos
Looking for that perfect mix of authentic Greek charm and relaxed luxury? Welcome to Afitos, a village where the stone meets the sea, and where time slows down just enough to let you breathe.
At Feels Like Home, we’ve just added three brand-new villas to our Afitos portfolio — each with its own personality, comforts, and style. Whether you’re after a private soak under the stars or a sunny morning by the pool, you’ll find your place here.
- White Lotus Jacuzzi Villa: For private luxury lovers – brand new, with a jacuzzi and stylish interior.
- Bergamot Villa: Peaceful and cozy – perfect for couples or solo travelers.
- Myrtillo Villa: Sunny, open-plan living with pool access – great for small families or two friends.
Let’s dive into your perfect 5-day itinerary
Day 1 – Arrive, Unwind & Discover Afitos
Welcome to your villa in Afitos. Drop your bags, open the shutters, and take in the smell of pine and sea salt.
- White Lotus guests can step straight into the private jacuzzi — ideal for washing off travel fatigue.
- Bergamot & Myrtillo guests will love the tranquil shared pool, surrounded by Mediterranean greenery.
Afternoon tip: Take a slow walk through Afitos’ old village. Look for local handmade ceramics and enjoy a quiet frappe with a view.
Dinner suggestion: Try Thea Thalassa for fresh fish and sea views.
Day 2 – Beach Day & Backyard BBQ
After breakfast on your villa’s terrace, head to Varkes Beach — a sandy, organized beach within walking distance of the village. Clear water & family-friendly vibes.
On your way back, stop by Anthoulas Market for fresh feta, olives, and local meats for the BBQ.
At your villa:
- White Lotus’s private garden is the perfect setting for a romantic BBQ night.
- Bergamot & Myrtillo offer a shared pool area with space to dine under the stars — great if you’re social or traveling in a group.
Local tip: Grab a bottle of local wine like Malagouzia or Assyrtiko from Domaine Porto Carras — you’ll thank us later.
Day 3 – Day Trip: It’s time for Sailing⛵
Embark on a journey from Marina Miraggio, Paliouri Pier, Porto Carras, or Neos Marmaras. Glide across the turquoise waters with a skilled skipper, discovering the untouched beauty of Kelyfos Island.
Drift past the spellbinding coastlines of Sithonia to the Spalathronisia Islands, where a traditional catch-of-the-day meal awaits at a charming seaside taverna.
Swim and snorkel in the secret coves of Porto Carras, hidden gems unreachable by land.
Let the wind guide your sails before you return at sunset, full of unforgettable memories.
With Babasails, your dream voyage becomes reality.
Day 4 – Culture & Hidden Beaches
Morning visit to the Folklore Museum of Afitos — small but worth it, housed in a traditional stone building.
Then pack a picnic and head to Moudounou Beach, a quieter, crystal-clear spot where locals go to escape the crowds.
🛁 In the evening:
- White Lotus guests — it’s jacuzzi time again. Light a candle, pour some wine, and just listen to the cicadas.
- Bergamot & Myrtillo guests — enjoy your evening swim or poolside wine under the stars.
Day 5 – Brunch, Photos, and Goodbyes (For Now)
Brunch at AGORA Koozina bar Afitos — stylish plates, great coffee, and a beautiful view for that one last vacation photo.
Grab a handmade souvenir from Margarita’s workshop in the village — ceramics, olive wood, and handwoven fabrics.
Take your time packing. The pace here is slower for a reason — and if you’re anything like most of our guests, you’ll be planning your return before you leave.
