Amoopi

When you drive from the main road down to the coast, you turn right at the signpost for "Lakki Beach hotel". You may not drive further than the hotel, because then you cannot drive back again up the hill. When you come down to the coast line you walk a couple of yards to the left. There are steps down to the beach. There are umbrellas but no taverna. This was the most southern of the the four beaches at Amopi. My correspondents found the beach to be 50% nude and ranked the beach only 20% (July 2003).


1998 / 2001: Reports describe this as a very nice beach, clear water and lots of fish, good for snorkelling. Only about 15 mins by bus from Pigadia, then walk to the right (south) along a proper path above the shore. There's a rock about 150m from the shore where you can climb up and jump into the water, and the snorkelling is good. Amopi is really four beaches, two of them were suitable for naturism, and 90% of the people were naked. The beaches are small and intimate, quiet and relaxing .The sunbeds and umbrellas have seen better days, they are in poor condition.

2007 May: A Barefooter rated it 100%.

2006 August: Unfortunately the Captain hears that the Beach pictured here is now closed for nude bathing. There is a big sign "NO Nudity - City of Karpathos". In 2003 a new hotel (the Captain hears "Agean Hotel") - opened above the beach and the owner of the hotel leased the beach and changed it to a non-naturist beach. But now one beach before (it is the 3rd) is 100% naturist. However the Captain also hears that it is very crowded, with 10 umbrellas.

2011 July: It appears that the advice above is correct. Barefooters who visited Amoopi found no evidence of naturism at Amoopi - indeed, even topless  sunbathers/swimmers were in a small minority. Not recommended. Slightly tired sunbeds and parasols packed into the relatively small beach. Mainly middle-aged couples with a few families.

2016 July: Update from Shehulk: Me and my husband were here but found no sign of nudity. The small beach pictured here can only be accessed by the ocean, we were not keen on swimming that far.

2018 July: Bored Pacianga in the Forum says: My girlfriend and I visited Karpathos. We rented a car and searched the island for beaches, being based in Ammoopi; there was no sign of nudity in all Amoopi beaches. Only a group of 4 topless Italian girls, that were based in our hotel.

2019 August: Update from Nakedcpl: The Beach between Votsakalia and Lakki, just a couple of hundred metres from Calypso, is perfect for nude swimming. It is divided in two, separated by some cliffs in the middle, which you walk between. There are four umbrellas with sunbeds, no problem renting them nude. At this date it was mostly nude, some topless, but it seems to depend on who gets there first.
