Halkidiki - Afytos Adventures contd

A visit to the weekly market in Kassandreia (held each Tuesday) was a lovely exposure to all things local - Ouzo, vino, pickled anchovies, dried sardines, lots of fresh seafood and vendors making a living selling clothes and home made goods. With a few litres of vino, ouzo and home baked goods stuffed into our bags we made it back to the hotel. Bougatsa from the bakery was fresh and flavourful.

The glistening Aegean Sea, which was a bit choppy, beckoned us for a couple of hours of swimming.

Dinner: Stroboulis Restaurant in the village of Afitos.
Outstanding Moussaka, a seafood platter for two, fried calamari, grilled octopus and some fine vino to wash it all down! Ice cream won the dessert dilemma once again.

Loving this town immensely!!Leggi altro
