Why go?
Not heard of Pefkos? You will be glad to know that not many others have either, making this a peaceful haven away from the masses...
Pefkos is a small resort on the east coast of the island of Rhodes. Just up the road, you will find the donkeys, mosaic-laid floors and twinkling night vistas of Lindos that grace thousands of postcards. However, you will also find the swarms of visitors who tackle the steep slopes of Lindos to get a better view of the acropolis and the beautiful bays that punctuate the coastline around the village.
In Pefkos, life moves at a much slower pace. Also known as Pefki, this compact resort has everything you need for a splendid break under the powerful heat of the Greek sun. There’s an abundance of golden sand next to the clear and clean waters of the Aegean Sea, and just enough bars and restaurants to try a new place to dine and drink every evening, even if you stay for a fortnight. Pefkos holidays are ideal for relaxing by day, either at your hotel pool or by the sea, and spending the evening chatting and laughing over a superb dinner – with after-dinner drinks entirely optional in this laid-back resort.
Most holidays in Pefkos are taken on a self-catering basis. There are many excellent hotels and apartments, and most combine Greek charm with a host of great amenities such as swimming pools, pool bars and plenty of outdoor space. In Pefkos, all-inclusive holidays are not as popular as in other sunshine destinations, although some hotels offer stays with breakfast included or on a half-board basis.
Families, couples and groups come to love Pefkos within hours of arrival and the resort sees many return visitors, which is a testament to its old-world appeal and hospitality.

What's on?
A number of annual events take place near Pefkos. So get involved and get a taste for life in Greece…
Lardos Festivals; throughout the summer: The nearby inland village of Lardos hosts fortnightly celebrations of music, song, dance and, of course, plenty of Greek food and drink. Take a seat at a taverna around the old square and let the spirit of Greece work its way into your holiday album.
Medieval Rose Festival; May/June: During this festival, the medieval history of Rhodes Old Town is visited by knights, magicians, archers, dancers and stilt-walkers who conjure up the atmosphere of long ago. It takes an hour to drive from Pefkos to Rhodes Town (or take the bus), but it is worth it.
Lindos Music Week; June: Hire a car or jump in a taxi (less than 10 minutes by road) and arrive in Lindos, a place that takes its musical events seriously. The Rhodes Rock festival has left these shores, and Lindos Music Week is likely to have a new name, but there will be some kind of musical celebration in early summer. Fans of soft rock will love it.
What to do?
A holiday in Pefkos offers the perfect chance to relax, but the following ideas might help to tempt you off the sun lounger…
Kids and teens: The sheltered Blue-Flag beach at Pefkos is perfect for young swimmers. For something a little more exciting, pack up the car and head to the water park near Faliraki, in the north of the island. This popular park is packed with slides, pools and attractions for all ages.
Romance: The picturesque hillside village of Lindos is just minutes away by taxi, so treat your loved one to a candle-lit meal for two before finding an open-air bar for late-night cocktails (and maybe even a spot of dancing).
Shopping: Rhodes Town is the island’s premier location for retail therapy. While the newer part of town features international stores, the cobbled alleyways of the Old Town lead shoppers from one boutique to the next, bargain hunting for handmade trinkets, leather goods and jewellery.
