In short: in Pefkochori it is worth seeing the long beach and the lively seafront promenade; the name means ‘village of pines’, and near the marina the remains of an ancient settlement have been excavated.
Pefkohori is the last big resort on the eastern side of Kassandra — with a long beach, a lit seaside promenade and the most exciting nightlife on the peninsula. The pines along the shore and the rich choice of eating and drinking draw both families and younger guests. In this guide we go through the beach, the promenade, the fun and why Pefkohori is worth it.
