Anaphlystus or Anaphlystos (Ancient Greek: Ἀνάφλυστος) was a coastal (paralia) deme of ancient Athens, belonging to the Antiochis phyle, on the west coast of Attica, opposite the island of Eleussa, and a little north of the promontory of Sunium, between that promontory and that of Astypalaea.
It bordered on Aegilia to the west, to Atene in the south-east and to Amphitrope to the east.
Xenophon recommended the erection of a fortress here for the protection of the mines of Sunium.
Strabo speaks of a paneium (Πανεῖον), or Grotto of Pan, in the neighbourhood of Anaphlystus.
[2][3] It was situated at a site called Agios Georgios (St. George),[4][5] close to the modern settlement of Anavyssos, on the Athens Riviera.
