About Lee Beach in Pefkos
Lee Beach is located at the popular resort of Pefkos on the eastern coast of Rhodes. During the 1970s, tourism began developing on the island of Rhodes. Visitors started exploring the areas that were less-known. During the 1980s, visitors to Rhodes became more interested in spending their time the way the locals did, which consists of soaking up the sun and enjoying a more Mediterranean lifestyle.
Little by little, Pefkos developed into one of the most popular resorts on the island of Rhodes. Pefkos is a relaxed resort that is perfect for families, couples, singles, and people of all ages. The resort of Pefkos has restaurants, bars, supermarkets, shops, hotels, and beaches.
The beach is mid-sized with lovely clear water and sand that is soft with some pebbles mixed in. Behind the beach are pine trees. Sun beds are available at Lee Beach. The view from the beach of the bay is worth sitting and enjoying. If you’re around during the evening, sunset viewing from the beach is wonderful. Parking is available at the beach if you drive.
