On the west coast of the Peloponnese, some kilometres north of Kyparissia, there is the village called Kalo Nero (= beautiful water), with an immense and large sandy beach on the south and the north. From about 2 km on the north of the last houses the beach is nearly deserted for distance of more than 5 km. Even on Sundays in August there were not more than 20 persons on this immense beach, that is ideal for nude bathing and walking. No sun loungers, parasols, tavernas or anything like that. My contributors enjoyed it a lot and will come back!

2011: The situation was practically the same. Very few people, even on Sundays. One was able to walk around naked on the beach or at the small pine forest, that backs the beach, for 3-4 Km.

One other point about Kalo Nero Beach is that it has been noted by the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece as a nesting site. This requires of those who visit the beach a considerable degree of responsibility. 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.

Please note that all the beaches in Messinia are used as nesting beaches by the Loggerhead Turtles. They nest between May and June and hatch later in the summer. If you see a dip in the soft sand please avoid it. The locals will mark the nests by putting bamboo canes around the dip so that you can see where it is and avoid sitting or digging there. You will sometimes see the tracks of the mum where she walked up the beach, laid her eggs and then walked down the beach again to the sea. Later in the summer you will sometimes see several tiny tracks left by the hatchlings as they make their way to the water.
