June 2023 Kokkina beach is a short drive from Lakki. Leave your car on the road above the beach under the trees before the road turns right. You then walk down the path for about 400 metres. The beach whilst not officially nude, was quiet and mostly nude on the 5 times we visited from 11am to 16.00. There was at most 5 people on the beach with us, so plenty of space. There are only two small trees that can offer shade, so it is worthwhile trying to bring an umbrella – though the stones make it hard to put up. On the odd occasion a Greek family may turn up with a couple of cars and begin to BBQ (I have visited this beach in 2020 also) – which temporarily stops the nudism. Therefore, if it is quiet, or you go early in the morning, Kokkina is OK for nudism.

There is a small beach beside Kokkina which is tiny and “officially” nudist – //[https://maps.app.goo.gl/Lz1TYhimUFrRpx4c9]// . It can be reached by walking down from your car and instead of following the path down and right, instead walk forward through the gorse etc. There is a sign painted on a rock saying nudist. It can also more easily be reached by swimming from Kokkina – go out into the water and left past the cave. The small beach loses sun early due to the height of the cliffs.

Also
There is a tiny beach with a cave that provides shelter that is beside a famous little church by the sea. We had the beach to ourselves in June 2023 and swam nude here without issue. https://maps.app.goo.gl/7wW9ANiXWLCaVpJD9

Also
There is another hard-to-reach beach called Agios Nikolaos, under the windmills, but you need a jeep to reach it.

A report from 2006 suggested there was a small area for naturists on the main beaches, but that the Greek people also used them. It was one of the best places for tolerance.

    From a Barefooter:
    2026 September: Crab church Inspired by a notice on this page we had a look at the beach but it was occupied by a group of young Greek men, all textiles, so we went elsewhere.

    From a Barefooter:
    2026 September: We have visited Leros many times and used Kokkina beach as our go to nudist beach. This time it was quickly populated with Greeks who were not at all happy with our lack of textiles.
