Getting Around Pefkos
Pefkos stretches along a main road running parallel to the coast, so local driving is straightforward. Parking availability varies, but spaces near the beach entrances are generally easier to find outside the busiest summer afternoons. A car is most useful for places beyond the resort. Lindos is a short drive away but involves an uphill walk from the parking areas. Travelling independently lets you arrive early, before the busiest coach traffic and the strongest midday heat.
Where to Drive from Pefkos
- Lindos – approximately 10 minutes. Arrive before 09:00 for cooler walking conditions and a better chance of convenient parking.
- Lardos village – approximately 10 minutes. Visit the village square for an evening meal and a different atmosphere from the resort.
- Glystra Beach – approximately 10 minutes. A small sandy cove south of Lardos.
- Kiotari and Gennadi – approximately 15–20 minutes, with long beaches along the route south.
- Prasonisi – approximately 40 minutes, where the two coastlines meet at the southern end of Rhodes.
