Weather from OpenWeatherMap

Fifteen minutes' walk west of Elia along a rocky path is Agrari.

Once a clean and nice beach with a tavern this too is now bedecked with sunbeds and brollies. Unlike Elia, however, there is some more substantial clear space - at the end of the path from Elia, and at the far end (right when facing the sea) - where you can still put down a beach mat or a towel.

As with many beaches on the island, there is a bamboo barrier to the north of the sunbed area - this is vital on the days the Meltemi wind blows from the north as it allows you to lie in the sunbeds with sensible wind blowing over you. Without the bamboo, it would be impossible. The sand is coarse meaning it doesn't blow in such circumstances.

The extreme western end of the beach appears to be "clothing optional" and is in front of the "Sunrise Hotel" which collects the money €3.50 for each sunbed under free bamboo umbrellas. Many recent reports confirm that there were always some people with no clothes on and those with clothes (mainly Italians and local Greeks) did not seem to object in any way, giving a great feeling of freedom on the beach.

On a recent visit during September the Captain noticed a few (very few) nudists at the left end, and more at the right end, though they were in a minority. The majority of those on the beach (nudist and textile) were gay, though there were some mixed couples too. It was mercifully less crowded than Elia.

2010 September: the nude section has now migrated to the east end of Agrari. A very pleasant beach, but the wind can be brisk. Beautiful sunrises from my balcony at the Sunrise Hotel. Between Elia and Agrari, two other, smaller and delightful-looking beaches are predominantly nude: the one closer to Agrari is minute. They are pretty exclusively gay and the whole area is used for cruising.

While the above correspondent is correct about the gay cruise, I was more comfortable as a nudist here than anywhere else. Having made it politely clear that I was not interested in the gay scene, I enjoyed pleasant company and conversation. I appeared to be a curiosity as a straight man in that area. I emphasised that my primary interest was to be in the company of nudists. From there, my visits were great.

2019 May: Two nudist couples on the "free" beach part. Enough space; seems to be promising for the summer season as well.
