Europe 2025

6 hour drive from Paracin to Northern Macedonia. 2 border crossings and a whole lot of fun driving with our friends to our destination in Halkidiki.

Our base for then next 7 nights is Afitos (Afytos)Halkidiki.
Afitos is a traditional village located in Kassandra, the first of Halkidiki's three distinctive "fingers" (peninsulas) that extend into the Aegean Sea. This village, perched on a cliff, offers stunning views and preserves its traditional architecture with stone-built houses and cobbled streets.

The term "three fingers of Greece" refers to the three peninsulas that form the Halkidiki region.
1. Kassandra (the leftmost finger):
This is the most developed peninsula, known for its lively nightlife, beaches, and numerous tourist facilities. It is also our home for next week.
2. Sithonia (the middle finger):
This peninsula is celebrated for its rugged natural beauty, secluded coves, and pristine beaches.
3. Mount Athos (the easternmost finger):
This is an autonomous monastic state, known for its religious significance, mountainous terrain, and over 20 monastaries.

We were quick to jump into the Aegean Sea and bask in the balmy waters. Our 4K walk to dinner was a beautiful meander through the town.
Post dinner we watched the blood moon rise with the stunning Aegean Sea as the backdrop.

Dinner: Gallera. Excellent grilled Oyster mushrooms, calamari and moussaka rounded off with Greek ice cream.Leggi altro
