APHYTIS
Chalkidike, Greece.
Identified by
Leake with Athytos near the modern village of Nea
Phlogita on the E side of the Kassandra peninsula.
Herodotos names it as one of the cities of Pallene
(Phlegra) from which Xerxes' fleet took ships and
men. A Sanctuary of Dionysos there is mentioned by
Xenophon. Local coins bearing the head of Zeus Ammon
were first issued in 424 B.C.
