When you think "It's time to go for a swim" how exactly do you imagine it?
Put your swimsuit on, take a towel and take a refreshing dip somewhere nearby or go to a beach for hours?
In Afissos you can do both.
As a seaside village, it has several points along the small main coastal road from where you can dive with the help of some auxiliary stairs. Moreover,at 5 minutes from Mirto Apartments there is a pier from where parents and children can have fun and take a dip.
However, if you are looking for wonderful beaches with green vegetation where you can relax for hours, in Afissos there are 3:
• As you come from Volos just before entering the village, you find the beach "Kalifteri", then at the entrance of the village there is a small cove "Lagoudi" and at the end of the main coastal road, after passing the whole village, you reach "Abovo".
Kalifteri and Ambovos are organized beaches, ideal for anyone who wants to have everything on their feet. Lagoudi, is a pristine beach, a small earthly paradise for anyone seeking natural beauty and tranquility.
Mirto Aparmtents is 600m from Ambovos, 450m from Lagoudi and 750m from Kalifteri.
On all three beaches there is pebbles. The sea is suitable for children because it is clean, deepens gradually and is always calm due to the location of the village (Pagasitic gulf). So you can be sure that you will not miss any swim because of the wind and the waves, as can happen in the Aegean.
The strange thing is that although all three beaches belong to the Pagasitic Gulf, each one offers you a different view of the enchanting landscape and the shades of water that you enjoy when you swim, as if you are not in the same sea. Really, you end up not knowing which beach to choose first.
