Tell me about the beach - what's it made of (Sand/shingle etc.), Access, Features, Accessibility - anything that might help another Barefooter & I'll update the page.

If you have any photos I can use, please send them to photos@barefoot.holiday, letting me know which beach at which location (send a link to this page for instance)

Thanks - The Captain

Now a busy resort struggling to retain its charm against the weight of tourism. The main beach is of coarse sand, fronted by tavernas and often crowded. The naturist beach used to be reached by fording the river at the end of the main beach; however a bridge has now been built with the result that the sandy beach is now entirely textile and naturists are restricted to the rocky area below the quarry road. This consists of a number of small stony coves: it is very long but rocky both on shore and in the sea. As it might be offensive to bare all 20 yards from a textile party, it is necessary to walk until you find an unoccupied or already naturist cove. Most coves have only enough sand for one or two towels. When the waves are high, descent into the sea may be crab-wise. This is very much a second-class beach and although well used by nudists cannot be recommended.

A much nicer beach - though one where naturism is forbidden by large signs - is at Aghios Georgios: a pleasant (though quite energetic) walk to the north (follow the rocks with red dots painted on them). There is an unusual taverna overlooking this beach; well worth a visit.

1994: A correspondent reports that they had to pay to park in the central town square by the harbour, for the first time ever! Not good news if it demonstrates how commercialised the place is getting.

2015 June: the town is so busy that it's difficult to see any chance of getting an overall tan hereabouts. In September 2018 same situation from main beach, but didn't have to pay to park.

2020 August: At the end of the beach starts a narrow strip of pebbles, not easy to lay on. Okay for a nude swim when you are staying in Agia Galini, not a real nudist beach. No shade, no coves.

2023 July: Nice beach, but very crowded by sunbeds and no nudists were seen. We went on a very strong northern wind day and the beach was fairly protected, so even if you can't go nude it's a good option for windy days.
