Pefkos/ Lee Beach is lovely. Golden sand and warm clear water. What more could you ask? Well, a sunbed and umbrella probably when it's 35 degrees. Unfortunately, greed has made this the most expensive beach on Rhodes! Especially if you're a solo traveller. It's 15€ for two sunbeds and umbrella. The private sunbed owners raised their prices from 12€-15€ in June. This is on par with Rhodes Town. Most other small beaches are less. The greed comes in since they started charging 10€ for one sunbed! Everywhere else charges half price for one person. Including the owners of the boat trips who have their own sunbeds. These people who cover most of the beach will start pricing Pefkos out of the market. They never ever give you a receipt either! The 10€ or 15€ goes straight into their sky rocket! 😁

The sand is golden and crispy, very warm. The water is crystal clear almost everyday and the restaurant&bar overlooking the beach has amazing food for a great price. The sun beds & umbrellas aren’t free but they were cheap! Overall this experience was amazing and I will 100% come back here. I have also came here a few times before. Beautiful at night.

While on holiday at Keotari, just a few kilometres away from Pefkos (Pefki, locally) we took a bus there for a little look. We did not go to plan to do anything but having walked down to the beach, it is absolutely beautiful, sandy and clean. The place is well suited for those who just want a beach holiday but with plenty of places to visit at night for a meal or a drink, it has lots of tavernas and shops . It is on the main bus route (the only bus route!) so you can get a bus to nearby Lindos which also has a gorgeous beach, pure sand and lovely warm water. Of course you can also visit the Acropolis at Lindos too. It is also possible to take the bus to Rhodes town itself, we didn't go to Rhodes Town on this visit but again a good day out albeit almost an hour and a half by bus each way. Don't waste your money on organised tours, a day out from Keotari with a stop at Rhodes and Lindos was costing around 69 euros each. The bus to Lindos/Pefkos cost us 2.80 euros each way per person.

Beautiful sandy beach with warm crystal clear water. Plenty of sun beds to hire varying in prices depending what you want. Some have cool boxes and a lockable safe to keep your valuables but are more expensive to hire. Generally, 2 beds and an umbrella were 12 euros. Plenty of places to eat close by and there are people that walk up and down the beach selling fruit. There are also boats to hire at one end of the beach. It can get quite breezy down by the beach but this can be a welcome relief by mid afternoon!

This beach is sandy and safe, the beds are really comfortable and are charged at €10 for 2 and umbrella. The sea is shallow for some distance and safe for children. There is a few little restaurant snack bars near by for food and super markets as well. For take away sandwiches on the beach try Mr Balls freshly made to order and wrapped for you to eat on the beach.

This is a long thin beach . It has many sun beds on it some cost more than others as they are not all owned by the same person. We chose to sit at the far end towards Kavos beach. These were €16 for 2 comfortable cushioned sunbeds with an umbrella, extra shade, 2 bottles of water and a charging point. There is also a shower and changing room available, so I think it was worth the extra. You can snorkel from the beach as the water is very clear. Do not expect to see a lot but we did see some squid and a few interesting fish. There are plenty of restaurants along the back of the beach to chose from for lunch/dinner. A lovely relaxing day in the sun.

Lee Beach in Pefkos is fantastic - all the facilities you could want, great choice of beds or just sand! Fantastic restaurants with fabulous food service and views.
The sea and sand are spotlessly clean.
Kavos black is smaller and quieter just on the same cove. All within easy walking distance

Really lovely beach, very clean with crystal clear water. Various areas of sun beds for hire, most are 12 euros (2 beds & umbrella). There are also a couple of luxury sections where you can get food & drink service or cool box/ usb chargers etc for around 18 euros. At few decent beach restaurants to choose from and fresh fruit sellers walk along the beach every day. Be aware that it’s a bit of a walk to the nearest supermarket, and entry to the beach is via a steep set of steps at several points.

Beautiful calm beach and plenty of umbrellas and lounges which cost €20 to hire all day. This comes with a cooler box and a brush to brush away the sand. The sea was a lovely temp on our visit early June. Families, couples, elderly - all sorts enjoyed! Lee's beach bar is very near and such a lovely vibe!

Went during school holiday and was expecting beach to be mega busy but wasn't ever too crowded. 15E for 2 sunbeds, table and umbrella was essential. Water was crystal clear and offered great off the beach snorkeling - certainly some of the best we have done for a few years.

Buonasera,
Per una vacanza a Rodi avrei individuato in Pefkos meta ideale. Coppia con neonata, Rodi City troppa modvida, idem faliraki(?), Lindos mi hanno consigliato gite ma non soggiornare ecco che allora la scelta é ricaduta su Pefkos, scelta giusta?
Hi! Can anyone tell me, where at the beach/at which beach section there are no stones / less stones in the water? I am in Pefkos with my children ( 6 and 9 years old) end of Juley and of course it is easier and nicer if they can sit and walk in the water if there are as less stones as possible. Thanks so much! Ann
Hallo! Kann mir jemand sagen, an welchem Abschnitt der Strand weniger steinig ist? Ich bin Ende Juli in Pefkos mit meinen Kindern (6 und 9 Jahre alt) und da ist es natürlich schön, wenn es im Wasser so wenig Steinchen wie möglich hat.
Vielen Dank! Liebe Grüße Ann

Hi there are no water sports in pefkos, its a very small beach, you would have to travel up to Rhodes or falaraki, they are the more busy areas, lindos is nice but quiet you may be able to get a boat there but definitely no jet skis, you will get boats in Rhodes as well.
