Laid-back and relaxed, Pefkos holidays are full of traditional Greek charm, lazy beach days and evenings rounded off with a nightcap under the stars. Not heard of it? You will be glad to know that many others haven’t either, making this a peaceful haven away from the masses.
Pefkos, also known as Pefki, is a small resort on the east coast of Rhodes. Meaning pine trees in Greek, one of Pefkos’ biggest draws is its splendid golden sand beaches backed by pines. Life moves at a much slower pace here than in other parts of the island, and days can be spent soaking up the sun with a book, cooling down every so often with a dip the sparkling Aegean Sea.
If you’d rather do something more active, the clear waters are perfect for snorkelling and scuba diving too, with some local dive schools nearby. You’ll be able to spot fish including damselfish and sting rays. Glass-bottomed boat trips are another good option for a day out.
Speaking of days out, Lindos is just up the road, where the donkeys, whitewashed houses and twinkling night vistas that grace thousands of postcards can found. You’ll be glad to leave behind the swarms of visitors after a day of sightseeing, though – charming Pefkos is ideal for a quiet night out.
When the sun goes down, there’s a good selection of bars and restaurants in town, often with a sea view. Try local dishes such as moussaka or lamb kleftiko (roast lamb). Perfect for families or couples, nights out here aren’t about wild parties but about chilled-out drinks, sometimes with live music, after dinner.
