Gialos beach is a very long beach to the north of Egremni. You reach it from the village Athani by a winding way down that leads to the northern end of the beach. Nudism is practised on the southern part of the beach which is also the best. Here long nude walks are possible although the sand tends to be coarser at the southern end.

It's really a beach for nudists and has very easy access by car even [though] the road is very curvy and narrow and quite difficult driving. There seems to be a new tarmac road from just outside Dragano. This makes it an easy drive down to the beach, although beware of the potholes! Take the road down to the beach and turn south to the dirt road until you reach the end, and park on the top of a small hill. The road down is very steep, 300m from the top, with many bends - scary for some…

From there and to the south the beach is completely nude. Just few nudist couples and a very long beach just for you. There is no shade and you may find some tar. There are 2 cantinas at the end of the asphalt road. Many contributors over the years think it's the best nudist beach in Lefkas.

Weather from OpenWeatherMap

2017 July: The road to Gialos beach is repaired and in good order. Asphalt all the way to the first parking place. You can still take the dirt track going south and park around the abandoned kanteen as it destroyed further south. From this point to the southern end of the beach is nude. There were about 10-12 mainly tourist couples or so and one single man (me!). August: Beach fully operative. Is one of the widest on the island. Nude area start right away from the right-side of the abandoned canteen and spans for about 2 kms. The more you go to the south the less people you see… it made us feeling like on a lost island.

2019 May: Access to Gialos beach by land was destroyed by the earthquake in 2015 but the good news is that, although the road closed sign is still in place, the road has now been repaired and is definitely open. However, when we visited several parts of the road were covered in loose shale and dried mud from recent rockfalls. This significantly impairs traction and increases the risk of skidding, particularly after rainfall and going uphill, so care is needed. To be safe and to avoid the risk of damaging the car we had to move to the wrong side of the road in several places. Some minor work seems to be ongoing and maybe the debris will be cleaned up before long.

Lovely long white pebble-and-coarse-sand beach. Just one person (textile) and their dog on the entire beach while we were there so no problem being naked. Overturned fridges and its general poor state of repair suggest that the taverna remains abandoned but with land access restored maybe it will reopen. June: A small cantina with some sunbeds and only textiles near to the parking area. Some Caravans and wild campers in the following 200m. Some nudist on the rest of the very long beach, very relaxed atmosphere.

2023 September: Personally the absolute best nude beach on the island. I recommend to park your car/scooter past the cantina and as far as possible to the South after the asphalt road. The road turns then to stones and finally to sand. We saw some RVs from which people would come out nude and go down directly to the beach. Reaching the very very south of the beach requires a long walk (probably 40-45 mins) that can be done completely naked but the reward is worth it. Once again bear in mind that shadow possibilities are very scarce unless you manage to get some from one of the rocks. However you'll be completely on your own or possibly with 1-2 more people who came to this spot before you. Another piece of advice would be to take some beach shoes as the beach is made of small pebbles and entering the water can be slippery due to the presence of immersed rocks close to the shore.
