Afitos is a smallish, pleasant resort on the eastern side of the Kassandra peninsula. It has two main beaches, both textile, but at the top end of the northernmost (left hand) beach there is a small naturist / mixed area beyond the rocks. Walk past all the sunbeds, etc. to where the beach narrows right down, either scramble over the rocks, or paddle round to the small sandy cove beyond. Alternatively a short concrete path leads up to an abandoned building and another short path leads down to the beach from there.

If you get there early enough, you can have the choice of a couple of secluded areas between large rocks. There is excellent, easy access to the sea, and although there are sea urchins on a rocky outcrop, there is no need to go anywhere near them. The beach is backed by cliffs, and so tends to lose the sun by about 5.00pm. Though there are no facilities it is only a few hundred metres to the taverna and bar on the main beach. Unfortunately this means that you may be subjected to some noise and the occasional sightseer, though Captain Barefoot's reporters found neither to be too much of a nuisance. In late June and early July 2001, the balance was 50/50 or better in favour of naturism, even at the weekend. Some days they had the place to themselves.

The village of Afitos sits on the cliff top overlooking the beaches. During July and August there is a free hourly bus service between the resort and the beaches. At other times it's a 15 minute walk. Maybe not the best beach in Greece, but very convenient if you find yourself in the delightful village of Afitos.

2007: One Barefooter reporting from July says there are fairly small sandy spots between the rocks. The directions are correct, and if you do not like to climb over those rocks, it is easy to wade through the water.

2016 - I scrambled over the rocks a little beyond the crumbling wall and snorkelled naked for a while. Nobody bothered me and i saw a good variety of small fish among the rocks.

There is one larger sandy area, but it is frequented by boats, and no-one went naked. My reporter stayed in one of the smaller spots. There is also a staircase and elevator going up the cliff, which ends in a private development, which my reporter used to leave the beach.
