Aphytis (Ancient Greek: Ἄφυτις), also Aphyte (Ἀφύτη) and Aphytus or Aphytos (Ἄφυτος), was an ancient Greek city in Pallene, the westernmost headland of Chalcidice. Around the middle of the 8th century BC colonists from Euboea arrived. The city became well known for its Temple of Dionysus, which appears to have been built in the second half of the 8th century BC. At Aphytis, Ammon was worshipped, at least from the time of the Spartan general Lysander, as zealously as in Ammonium, sanctuary in Libya. According to Pausanias, the patron of Aphytis, Ammon Zeus, appeared in a dream to Lysander and urged him to raise the siege, which he did. The Temple of Ammon Zeus, whose few remaining ruins date to the 4th century BC structure.

  • Aphytis (Ancient Greek: Ἄφυτις), also Aphyte (Ἀφύτη) and Aphytus or Aphytos (Ἄφυτος), was an ancient Greek city in Pallene, the westernmost headland of Chalcidice. Around the middle of the 8th century BC colonists from Euboea arrived. The city became well known for its Temple of Dionysus, which appears to have been built in the second half of the 8th century BC. At Aphytis, Ammon was worshipped, at least from the time of the Spartan general Lysander, as zealously as in Ammonium, sanctuary in Libya. According to Pausanias, the patron of Aphytis, Ammon Zeus, appeared in a dream to Lysander and urged him to raise the siege, which he did. The Temple of Ammon Zeus, whose few remaining ruins date to the 4th century BC structure. During archaic and classical times Aphytis was a prosperous city, minting its own coins, which depicted the head of its patron, Ammon Zeus, the city's economy appears to have been mainly based on farming and vine-culture. Aristotle (Politics V,VI 1319 a14) mentions the "agricultural law" of the Aphytians, a special, singular and interesting chapter in the history of ancient Greek public finances. The city became a member of the Chalkidian League; it previously paid tribute under the Thracian phoros of the Delian League. During Hellenistic and Roman times the city minted coins again; an event possibly related to the fame of the Temple of Ammon Zeus. Strabo mentions Aphytis among the five cities, which existed in Pallene in the first century B.C. (Cassandreia, Aphytis, Mende, Scione and Sane). After the founding of the Roman colony of Cassandreia (43 BC), Aphytis was a vicus of this colony, dependent administratively on it. Afytos is a village in the modern Kassandra peninsula. (en)
  • Afitis (en griego, Ἀφυτις) fue una antigua ciudad griega de la península Calcídica. Es citada por Heródoto como una de las ciudades —junto a Potidea, Neápolis, Ege, Terambo, Escíone, Mende y Sane— situadas en la península de Palene donde Jerjes reclutó tropas y naves en su expedición del año 480 a. C. contra Grecia.​ Posteriormente la ciudad perteneció a la liga de Delos puesto que es mencionada en listas de tributos a Atenas desde 452/1 hasta 415/4 a. C.​ Tucídides la menciona como un lugar donde pasó el ejército ateniense bajo el mando de Formión para dirigirse al asedio de Potidea en el año 432 a. C.​ Según Pausanias, en Afitis era muy venerado el dios Amón, y se contaba que, cuando Afitis fue sitiada por el ejército espartano bajo el mando de Lisandro, este levantó el cerco contra la ciudad según se creía porque así se lo había aconsejado Amón en una aparición.​ En el año 380 a. C., Agesípolis I de Esparta, en su expedición contra las ciudades de la Liga Calcídica, cayó enfermo por unas fiebres y pidió ser llevado al santuario de Dioniso que había en la ciudad de Afitis. Fue llevado allí pero al séptimo día murió, fuera del santuario.​ Aristóteles menciona una ley particular que tenían los de Afitis relativa al modo en que se fijaba el valor de las posesiones agrarias.​ Actualmente en el lugar donde se situaba se halla una población moderna denominada .
