Pefkos

Pefkos or Pefki, Greek: Πεύκος (Πεύκοι), is a well-known beach resort located on eastern coast of Rhodes, just 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) southwest of Lindos, and 43 kilometres (27 mi) from the capital city Rhodes.

Pefkos was once known as a fishermen's hamlet located along the coastal road that connects the villages of Lindos and Lardos.

Originally Pefkos was mainly used as a summer temporary residence for those who lived further inland but grew crops such as grapes, olives, tomatoes, figs and corn.

They couldn't return home daily due to the heat and distance, so had small very basic houses in Pefkos.

Pefkos, until recently was underdeveloped, but is now swiftly evolving in an important tourist resort, mostly offering self-catering holiday accommodation (villas and apartments) while its commercial centre has many amenities and a large range of restaurants, tavernas and bars.
