Informations:
Flogita is a popular tourist resort, particularly in the summer, and as a result facilities and amusements have increased to cater for the influx. Flogita is noted for its big sandy beach, roughly one kilometre long, and its paved promenade which is popular in the evenings for the customary "volta", or walk. The sea is particularly warm. The sea floor is shallow, which has resulted in the popularity of marine sports in the village.
Along the sea front there are many tavernas, fast foods shops, confectioners, beach bar cafes, and nightclubs. The atmosphere in the height of the summer season is that of a “party style village”. In the "off" season, Flogita is very quiet.
Flogita, or Nea Flogita (its official name) was settled in 1923 by Greeks from Flogita, Cappadocia in central Turkey, after having been forcibly removed after the Greko-Turkish war of 1922, the so-called Asia Minor Catastrophe, which involved a failed invasion by Greece to regain her ancient holdings in Anatolia. Its older residents still speak an Asia Minor, Cappadocian-based Greek dialect with elements of ancient Greek, and some Turkish influences.
Worth it to see:
- The ruins of Byzantine buildings of Saint Panteleimon monastery dated back to 17th century.
- Feel the vibes of a summer party, between Nea Plagia and Nea Flogita, there are a lot of clubs and beach bars with live music bands performing. Join and enjoy it!
