A contributor who visited the island's eastern coast in September 2016 sent a report about a pebbly beach he found on the small peninsula south of Nydri. The beach is accessible by car via an unpaved road. Follow the road signs to Desimi beach, but turn left when the road starts to descend to Desimi.

Visiting this beach twice, my contributor shared it with two fellow nudists and a textile/topless couple. Even though this beach is not as spectacular as the beaches on the western coast, it may be a convenient option for travellers staying in the Nydri area, and it rewards its visitors with a beautiful view to Scorpios island.

2019 May: The beach is accessible by an unmade road and the presence of an ordinary saloon car almost on the beach is testimony to it being driveable. However, whilst most of the track is not too bad, the last 100m is very rough and we wouldn't recommend attempting it in anything other than a 4WD.

Best to park a little further back and walk the last bit. The dirt track branches and widens at 38°40'35.1"N 20°43'00.3"E and we found this to be a convenient place to park although it would be possible to get closer to the beach before the track deteriorates too badly.

Ellomeni is a secluded, picturesque, but rather small, pebble beach. Being in a fairly sheltered location, compared to west coast beaches, the sea is flat and the water crystal clear. This makes it much better than the beaches on the other side of the island for swimming and snorkelling. The main disadvantage is that the pebbles are rather uncomfortable to sit on. The seabed shelves gently but within a few metres of the beach the pebbles become much larger so entering the water is uncomfortable and wet shoes are advisable. A little further out there are some patches of the seabed that are sandy.

When we arrived only the saloon car occupants, 2 textile m/f couples, were on the beach. They were unperturbed when we stripped off. They left later in the afternoon and a single male naturist arrived. Some villas are being built near to where we parked and this could increase usage of the beach by textiles so do visit this little gem on the east coast and help keep it naturist friendly.

2022 June: Visited this beach quite easily in a Fiat Panda using direction from 2019. The road is on google maps, and can be tough going and you have to follow the map carefully to avoid going off course on better made roads. Clearly in rainy season there are streams running down it. Shortly before the beach, after two sets of solar panels in fields, there's a lovely car parking area good enough for 2 or 3 cars at 38°40'55.5"N+20°43'11.9"E

I wouldn't recommend going further unless you're in a good 4WD or ATV, but the walk down from here is only a few minutes.

I visited the beach about 9AM and it was deserted. This is the first time I've bene naked on a beach, so that was a plus. Very stony, but soft enough with a beach towel. Went for a swim, stones are easier to get in and out of the water than on the west coast.

Returned to my book, but shortly before 10AM a hire boat turned up. It was at the other end of the beach, and they stayed on board. I remained seated reading my book in the shade wondering whether I could go back in the water. Shortly after that two more boats turned up, so I decided to depart.

Returned about 5PM hoping the hire boats would be gone, but there was still one there with a large number of people on board (all wearing clothes). Eventually they left, so I went for a swim. Got a surprisingly long way out quite quickly so be careful.

After the sun dropped below the hill I packed up and walked back to the car. Having not seen any sign of anyone taking the path I decided that I didn't need to get dressed on the walk back, which had a nice wind and was very refreshing.
