Things to do in Pefkos
Pefkos has a Blue Flag awarded beach with uninterrupted stretches of soft golden sand curving around a sleepy bay, in front of a pine forest backdrop. At one end of the beach there are some small rocky coves that make fabulous swimming and snorkelling spots. The warm crystal clear waters make Pefkos an ideal location to relax and unwind for all ages and one of the most desired in Greece.
There are a few more livelier spots but it’s mainly local Tavernas where you can sip cocktails and chat over an ice cold beer or two. If you are looking for something with more of a vibrant atmosphere head a short distance down the coast to the nearby town of Lindos.
