In high season the town of Pefkohori is crowded. There are problems with parking and transportation. It is always necessary to avoid oncoming vehicles as only one lane is passable due to parked cars. Leaving with an undamaged vehicle is quite unlikely. It is therefore better to get around the city on foot. Perhaps the introduction of one-way roads would be help. Beaches, restaurants are full. So this location is more suitable for young people and those who like nightlife. Therefore, for those who prefer less noisy and better quality beaches, I recommend to find beaches in the surrounding and to get there by car. Excellent cooking is in the restaurant Bakalis by the beach. I also liked Lemonis bakery. Most of the visitors this year 2022 were from Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Romania. Germans were seen in smaller quantity. In the area, I recommend visiting the Greek Orthodox Monastery of St. Ioan the Russian, which is situated in the mountains above the town. Every day it is possible to attend services, see the monastery, or buy souvenirs in a small shop. It is open daily from 5.00 pm to 9.00 pm and from 6.00 am to 12.00 am. It is also worth going to the spa of Agia Paraskieva. There is a unique water there that cures skin problems and soothes. One comes out of the water as reborn.

Beautiful beaches,many things to enjoy during the day and most of all relaxed,some amazing restaurants with different kitchen to taste...and even cheap places for fast food,like ''greek gyros and souvlaki'' and also very nice and delicious pizza stores!!!

We chose Pefkochori because is good starting location to explore peninsula. First, there are excellent Xenia beach 6km away which we visited every day, Paliuri village with great fish restaurants, two very nice towns Nea Skioni and Aphitos, very large and sandy beach Possidi, Hanioiti and Polichrono for evening walks, and others.

Beautiful little seaside town. Lots of very good restaurants to try. Very family oriented. Zero hen/stag parties etc. You get a very safe feeling when out and about at nighttime. Very few Irish/English tourists but everywhere we went to eat or shop they all spoke English. We booked a private car to take us from Tessaloniki Airport to Pefkohori. It was €147 return for 3 of us. Journey took 1hr 5mins. We did the boat trip one day which brings you to a few different islands. Very nice day and great price of €25 but very very long day, 8hrs. If choosing to go, bring your own snacks/food, the food included in the price was not great. The little old town square is very cute and has a beautiful art/collectibles shop in it. Worth a little walk to go find it, which we did using Google maps. There are two larger supermarkets at the entrance to the town and lots of little supermarkets dotted around. So many good places to eat but our faves of the week were, Fishilda, Capri Italian and Klēmatariá Greek restaurant. Go here if you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday with friends or family.

I liked that it wasn't over touristy, but there were enough shops selling beach stuff and tourist tat. The grill family restaurant opposite Nik shop does good food and drinkable coffee (order cappucino) great value for money. Transport isn't needed for Pefkohori, the hotel provided a shuttle but we only used it once.

I go to summer vacation in Greece for years now, to different costal places and some islands. Pefkochori is the liveliest coastal place I have been to, the village is full of young people, night bars, and the nightlife and choice of bars and drinks is great. I would say Pefkochori is great for young people, solo travelers, couples, but also families with kids as there are a few different play places for kids with multiple attractions. The main reason why I like Pefkochori is the sea in this part of the coast, as it is crystal clear, transparent, in multiple shades of blues and greens, and very warm, just perfect for swimming. Food offer in Pefkochori is also great, you can choose from multiple restaurants, fresh seafood, salads, pizzas, pancakes, ice creams, donuts, but also meat and other cooked dishes, there is something for everyone, and all the food I ate was super tasty. Beach has cream soft sand, only the entrance to the water has small stones but not painful to walk on, and there are different options of taking a sunbed for a price of one drink, or being on the send, which is not the case in all the coastal places. Pefkochori also has a few beautiful churches, two main shopping streets, with a great offer of products and souvenirs. Greek people are kind, and this summer I had only good pleasant interactions.
