Afitos, Halkidiki, Greece
Nostos Hotel is tucked just outside the centre of Afitos, one of Halkidiki’s most atmospheric villages. Traditional stone houses, flower-filled balconies and cobbled streets give the area a romantic, authentic feel, while the hotel itself is positioned for sea views and easy beach access.
Spend your days wandering into Afitos for cafés, tavernas and little boutiques, then head back to the hotel for a swim and a sunset drink overlooking the Toroneos Gulf. It’s relaxed, scenic and ideal if you prefer character and charm over large, all-singing resorts.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Nostos Hotel has been designed for slow, sun-drenched days outdoors.
Outdoor Pool
A freshwater outdoor pool forms the focal point of the terrace, with an integrated children’s section so families can splash together. Around the pool there’s a sunbathing area with sunbeds, hammocks, swing beds and parasols, plus a whirlpool section for extra relaxation. Pool towels are provided free of charge, and inflatables are permitted, adding to the laidback vibe.
Indoor Pool & Spa Area
For cooler days or a change of scene, there’s an indoor freshwater pool in the spa area, reserved for adults only. It’s a calm space to unwind away from the main sun terrace.
The sandy beach is around 200m away, so you can easily split your time between pool and sea.
