Apollonia satisfies even the most particular visitor since it provides all the comforts for a pleasant stay. One walk along the central pedestrianized street helps the visitor discover how many churches there are, which are totally connected and perfectly integrated into the residential complex.
The visitor can also visit the old school of Agios Artemios (1832-1988), Panagia of Barou, churches with frescos and artistic icon screens, Agios Athanassios, Agios Sostis, Metamorphosis of Sotiras, Timios Stavros, Panagia "Geraniofora" (which bears the sky) etc.

Walking through the paved streets, you can buy souvenirs, taste the traditional dishes and enjoy a drink. Don't forget to taste the local food as well as more special dishes influenced by international cuisine in restaurants that exist in the alleys.
