My correspondent found a "much nicer" beach about two kilometres further away from Kokkari called Tsambou beach (please note that the Captain previously understood it to be called Avlakia beach, but it appears that this is a small and rocky town beach visited only by locals). As the road turns (the entrance to the beach is on a hairpin bend - a correspondent knew it was the right place because of the number of scooters parked by the road), you can go down a cliff (the walk down is dodgy, but well-travelled) and find a beautiful spot (pebbled beach) where there were about 20-30 naturists.

This is the first beach driving the road from Kokkari to Avlakia.

Weather from OpenWeatherMap

2009 July: Some confusion here, “Avlakia” is the one stated here as above “(the entrance to the beach is on a hairpin bend - a correspondent knew it was the right place because of the number of scooters parked by the road), you can go down a cliff (the walk down is dodgy, but well-travelled)”. Whilst “Tsambou” is a little further west with road access [& umbrellas], very nice but 100% textile.

Some Barefoot reporters say that the description of the beaches as being made of pebbles is something of an understatement. They are in fact sizeable stones, and could be uncomfortable if you do not have a mat to lie on.

2000 July: A report confirms this beach was 100% nude, and an August 2000 one says 98% nude.

2001 June:  it was described as a very nice beach, more intimate and smaller than Tsamadou. It gets its character from its first visitors of the day, so it is best to be first! One day it was 100% nude, another 50%. There is shadow on the western side if you would need it. My contributor rated it 90%. In August it was 100% nude with about 20-25 people there when it was there, all couples. The trek over the cliffs to get to the beach is certainly not for the less agile and could be dangerous if you slipped. Shade is available from the cliffs but take plenty of water to drink.

2003 June: A contributor spent one week on this beach and found it very quiet and relaxing with no more than 20 people on the beach each day. Between 0930 and 1100 the beach was 100% nudist (4-5 people) and again between 1700 and 1800. At weekends the Greek families visited the beach (usually for 1 hour) and sat amongst the nude sunbathers without complaint.

2005 September: A contribution reports only a few couples were nude, but it is a beautiful beach.

2007 July: Unfortunately another Barefooter found it completely textile, with umbrellas and sunbeds.

2011 July: Beautiful beach with the chairs and the umbrellas and completely textile except for one person at end of beach.

2017 August: On this beach were no nudists to find and the beach is now filled with sunbeds and 100% textile.
