On the very southernmost tip of Zakynthos Island there is a beach called Gerakas beach, a famous turtle beach. A long drive down from Zante (30mins) by car. Before the beach there is car parking, the lazy bar, a coffee hut and a shop. Walk down the slope onto the beach and turn right.

2019 May: – Good news – Gerakas beach is back in use by nudists. As you descend the hill there are many sun beds and a bar, all textile, but keep going and the clothes gradually disappear. By the end of the beach almost all were fully nude. Because of the setting this is one of the most beautiful beaches on any Greek island. Please use it and keep away from the sunbeds and go bare.

June:  We visited the beach on one day in mid-June. The beach was already very crowded. A few nudists at the leftmost part of the beach, but lot of textiles walking in this area such that we didn’t feel very comfortable.

Note from the Captain: It is well known that the sea turtles on Zakynthos are threatened. Tourism brings benefits to the Greek Islands but it can be ecologically damaging too. A considerable degree of responsibility is required of those who visit beaches which are also turtle nesting sites. In particular, any nests should not be disturbed, any turtles should not be “assisted” to the sea (it is essential to their development that they find their own way) and the beach should not be visited at night. And as with all beaches, litter should not be left. True naturists leave only footprints in the sand. This web page exhorts all those who visit Zakynthos to follow these guidelines. For more information visit the web site of the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece.
