The Matina Aparthotel is a family- and budget-friendly beach hotel, with 143 separate apartments that have full kitchens, traditional -- albeit somewhat worn -- furnishings and facilities, a beach within walking distance, three pools, a lively late-night pool-bar scene, casual dining, and a mini market. Apartments are large, and some have balconies with partial sea and pool views. But there's a fee for air-conditioning (air-conditioning is a must in the summer months). Travelers might want to consider the nearby Maria Apartments Pefkos, where air-conditioning is free.

The 86-room mid-range Island Blue Hotel is a three-minute walk from a gorgeous sandy beach nestled against a cliff. The village of Pefkos is a short walk away, and offers good food and local atmosphere. There are two huge pools, big enough for lap swimmers to exercise alongside sunbathers without mishap. Rooms and self-catering apartments are big, light, and modern, and have balconies with pool and mountain views, but there is a pesky fee for Wi-Fi and use of the in-room safe.

The 104-room, budget-friendly Pefki Islands Resort is built like an island village, with the large swimming pool as town square. Part of a three hotel complex, guests are free to use the facilities at all three properties. Built into the side of a hill, the resort offers spectacular sea and mountain views, but there are a lot of stairs that could be an issue for some guests. Rooms are simple and clean, with tidy kitchenettes for cooking basic meals. Families will appreciate a game room and kids' club on-site, but there is a pesky fee to use the air-conditioning.

The 120-room Pefkos Beach Hotel sits high on a pine-covered hill in the village of Pefkos, with beautiful views of the sea in the distance. The atmosphere is neither upscale nor elegant; this value hotel, a series of low-rise white stucco buildings, is a quiet spot to sunbathe and relax, take a dip, and watch the sun go down over a cocktail in the rooftop restaurant. Rooms are large, with kitchenettes and balconies, but decor is dated, furnishings are generic, and there is a fee for air-conditioning and Wi-Fi.
