Two hour walk across island to side less frequented by boats, followed by steep climb down to wide beach, proved ideal for nude swimming and sunbathing, and only four others on beach that day. Mostly pebbles, a little sand, no shade. No taverna: take plenty of water. Enough room for different tastes, but you have to climb/walk back if you haven't organised a boat to come and fetch you or are not lucky to hitch on someone else's.

2021 September: Vasilios beach is a real gem. If you have a scooter and park it at the start of the path down to the beach, it will take about an hour to walk, (depending how fit you are). If you are walking from Chorio, it will take 2 hours. Whilst there is no shade on the beach, there are some trees set back that you can sit under. I went to this beach on two occasions and went nude both times. The first day was Monday and nobody turned up, the second time was a Sunday and there were four other people also all nude. Whilst there are no facilities, it is a lovely quiet and relaxing place. As the previous correspondent mentioned, do remember the walk back up the hill, so do save some water for the walk! (Also the last section of the path is steep and rugged).
