Details
1 hour walk to the East of Agia Roumeli. One contributor describes this as probably the most beautiful nude beach in West Crete. No sand but the fine pebbles are OK. There is now a canteen so that food is no problem. The beach is over a kilometre long. Summer sees a few textile Greeks who come by boat but otherwise it is still very unspoilt. This may be due to the fact that you have to walk to it: one hour from Agia Roumeli or 4 hours from Loutro or 1 - 2 hours down from Agios Ioannis. Camping is OK.

Another contributor found this beach slightly disappointing. It is the situation, below wooded slopes, that's remarkable rather than the beach itself. And the walk from Agia Roumeli is more gruelling than the distance suggests, over pebbly beaches and soft sandbanks. Our part of the beach (just E of the old chapel) had some litter of discarded camping equipment. There was a strip of dark volcanic sand, but entering the sea was particularly awkward over grapefruit-sized stones. The beach is so long that these details probably vary. The 'canteen' is now a solid two-storey building that styles itself as 'restaurant', though it's still pleasingly ramshackle and cheap. We saw few naturists staying very long, though almost every walker coming through paused for a brief nude swim. This beach is perhaps best seen as a pleasant stop-off before the lovely walk on to Loutro rather than as a naturist destination as such.
2020: A contributor: Walked from Roumeli, I think it is a nice walk and it is worth it. If you can walk an hour it is no problem, you can have a swim anytime on the route.
