It has been awarded the Blue Flag in most years. It is located 105 km from Thessaloniki (about 1 hour and 30 minutes by car), 5 km south of Hanioti, and 8 km north of Paliouri. There are frequent bus services from KTEL Halkidiki every day. Its large expanse means that even on the busiest days in August, you can find space for your towel. In the center of the village, the beach is fully organized with sunbeds, beach bars, and water sports. At the edges, it is partially organized or free — there, the pines provide shade and the atmosphere is more relaxed. In contrast to neighboring Hanioti, which is heavily party-oriented, Pefkochori is more family-friendly. The clientele includes many Greek families, regular visitors from the Balkans, and several older couples. The nightlife exists but is more subdued — beach bars open until 1-2 AM, cafes that stay open late, and a few small clubs. Water sports available at the central beach include jet skiing, banana boat rides, water skiing, kayaking, and SUP rentals. Prices range from 25 to 50 euros depending on the activity. For families with small children, the hours from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM are ideal. Free parking is available at the edges of the beach, with some paid spots closer to the front. --- Source: Type: Beach · Halkidiki, Greece
