2016 July: Report by shehulk: Me and my husband had tried to visit all the nudist beaches on Karpathos listed on this page. The closest to an "official" nudist beach we found was Diakoftis. To drive here you need to take the dirt road around the entire airport, but don't worry, it's in good condition. When arriving here you will see the clothed beach where all the cars are parked and a small cantina. You will also see that on the opposite side of the dune there is a similar beach, just walk the 30 metres or so across.
We were surprised to see everyone here totally nude, and a fair mix of men and women. The beach has umbrellas and beds for rental (the people supervising these were the only ones not nude) so this is as close to an official nude beach as it gets on Karpathos. Only downside is both beaches are very windy some days, the sand was whipping us quite hard. There are no waves though.

2018 August: Another report lifted from the forum, made by Kavafis. We also visited Diakoftis. Actually, the area called Diakoftis has a number of beaches and coves. From the road, you will see the most cars are parked around a area in front of a textile, organized beach (Diakoftis Paradise), with the famous turquoise waters. To the left, there is another cove which is nudist. However, it's difficult to reach and very, very small amount of sand available.
We found a reasonable solution not far from there: if you continue walking to your left, you'll see another very calm, organized beach, with just a few cars parked and some white and blue umbrellas. Just continue walking until the end and you will reach an even calmer area, where I found an Italian lady naked with her husband (clothed) and a German family who obviously didn't bother about nudism. So we stayed the whole afternoon in a Sunday of August nude at the beach, not being bothered by anyone. The disadvantage is that this beach is visible from a dirt road, but we didn't face any problem during our stay.
2018: Bored Pacianga in the Forum reports: We explored from Paradise beach to the south in direction of Kastello-Makrys Gyalos (Meneton Karpathou), and on the western side of the Peninsula we found 2 small cove beaches, a bit more than 2 km from the parking. We arrived there by car, and were the only sunbathers. Obviously nude. Driving back from Diakoftis to Pounta, 2.5km from the parking, quite after the road makes a “S” we found a little bay with a little parking. We sunbathed there three times and found only nude sunbathers. Sometimes some people from the cars slowed down and parked to take a look; half of these stopped and were nudists. The beach was very windy.
