Bennie’s beach agios georgios north

Approximately 11km north of Paliokastritsa by road. Now big developments all along the beach. The resort stretches for 2 miles with a rocky foreshore, however the north beach is superb. Previous reports suggested about 5 miles of sandy beach and dunes; after the first 1/2 mile it is about 80% naked with very few people.

The south beach runs for 2 miles and backed by cliffs. It is only nude to the south by rock fall, but if you clamber over the rocks you have another 3 miles of beach again backed by cliffs and mostly populated by nudists. More recent reports suggest that development now covers most of the beach and no nudism is practised here.

2015 September: There is a lovely beach at the south end of Agios Georgios just beyond Bennie's Fish Restaurant. This was 100% nudist all the time that we were there. There were only 2-3 couples each day and a few walkers would strip off for a dip every so often. Porto Timoni beach below Afionas is also lovely but is mainly textile. We did arrive early one day to join a nude couple but very soon we were overrun by textiles. Spent the rest of the time at Porto Timoni on the other side of the bay where textiles could see that we were nude but didn't bother to make the effort to walk down to the beach. The general rule appears to be that if you arrive first and strip off, others will follow.

2016 August: we went to Porto Timoni beach. Amazing walk in and view down to the double beach. The double beaches are all textile but as mentioned in another report the beach on the other side of the bay can be claimed for spending time naked. Nice beach for skinny dipping. Textiles have a look from the hill above but don't bother to make the effort to climb down to the beach unless they want to join you naked.

September: lovely time at the beach south of Bennie's restaurant. This beach seems to becoming the go-to place for naturist bathing in Agios Georgios. During our week there were never more than half a dozen couples there and all were nude. Lovely chilled atmosphere and delightful swimming and snorkelling. Occasional textile visitors but most left to go back to the main clothed beach. Go early and get the whole beach to yourself 😀

2017 September - Bennie's beach is becoming even more popular for nudists. There were no textiles at all when we were there and between 10 and 20 couples most days.

2018 September - Fantastic relaxing time on Bennie's beach, one of the most laid-back beaches I have been on. No textiles at all, some are a bit hesitant but the relaxed atmosphere soon has them shedding their clothes.

2019 June: Failed going there, Bennie's road at very bad situation.

    Sept 2023 and Sept 2024: The name and exact location of this beach is Beach near Akrokiali Taverna: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZQbM8msywqphbs3x9

    [Updated – thank you Cap’n]

    The taverna no longer exists, what a pity. The evenings eating delicious food and watching the sun set behind Porto Timoni will be missed by many regulars. You can come by car, being careful, the path is narrow in places. Access to the beach is about 50 m after the taverna. The owners of the land that allows access insist on preventing it, but unfortunately for them, there is always someone to make a hole in the fence. The beach is mixed but mostly naturist. It is wise to have beach shoes. But for the captain’s friends, I advise going as far south as possible on the beach, access to the water is more comfortable. Extra tip: the cliffs bordering the beach are made of clay, don’t forget to slather yourself with this clay, your body will thank you.
