Anaxos is a quiet resort, but with plenty of tavernas and bars with a west-facing beach which is home to some stunning sunsets.

There are no reports of naturism. However if you get the chance, check out Michelle's Bar on the resort's top road where several Barefoot reporters talk of great live music from two guys who play amazing bouzouki and guitar, ranging from jazz to Zorba's.

I am very amused by an email from one of my correspondents, who wrote: "The main reason for this email … is to thank you for telling us about Michelle's Bar. The food is pretty good on the few occasions when they cook, but it's aimed at the Brits and therefore is as authentically Greek as the Rose and Crown! But when he picks up that bouzouki, it's Instant Heaven. He doesn't even seem to play it: he just holds it and it sings as if to charm the heart out of your breast. There were other bouzouki players in Anaxos, more than I've ever known in one resort, but nobody to compare with this man and the two nephews who were backing him on guitar and drums.

"His name is Foti, and when we told him that we had read about Michelle's Bar on the internet, he was most eager to thank whoever was responsible."

This surely demonstrates - if demonstration is needed - that naturists are rounded people (especially after a good meal) with more than a single interest!
