Detailed Description:
The road to the beach is good, with just a few curves right before you reach the beach. As you approach the beach, you will see several beautiful spots offering a fantastic view of the beach, the sea, Agios Nikitas, and the mountains. Just 50m from the beach, next to the main road, there is plenty of free space for parking. You can also park your car down near the restaurant, but there is limited space, so if you don’t arrive early, you may struggle to find a parking spot.
Upon arriving at the beach, you will encounter a bar with sunbeds, umbrellas, toilets, and showers. The bar also features a pool, so if you are a guest there, you can swim there as well, and besides drinks, you can also find some food.
However, the nicer part of the beach is if you pass through the bar and walk a bit to the right along the shore behind the rocks. In that area, the sand is finer, and the water is cleaner. This part of the beach is also suitable for children, but it is undeveloped, so you need to bring your own equipment (umbrella and towels).
Pefkoulia is also known for wild campers who set up their tents in the shade of pine trees behind the beach. And this whole right side is also known as a nudist area.
The area of the beach in front of the bar in the water has stones and rocks, which is probably why this beach is less crowded compared to others on the west coast, but the sea color here is still fantastic. Since there is a rock rising directly above the beach, the view of the beach from the water is particularly interesting.
At Pefkoulia Beach, you can enjoy beautiful sunsets and have dinner at a tavern.
