A lovely little pebbled cove west of Lipsi town. Very quiet. The beach is only capable of accommodating about 12 people with room to spare. Head out of Lipsi town past Lendou (the town beach) stay on the road that runs around the bay for 5-10 minutes. Fork off left onto the track behind Kambos beach and keep walking. You’ll pass a chapel on the way (not a good guide on Lipsi because the island is covered in them).

Some 15-20 minutes after Kambos you’ll reach Helena, a small sand, pebble and rock beach with a couple of associated coves. Deserted when my contributors arrived in the morning. By lunchtime the cove next door had been filled with a large noisy Italian family who remained steadfastly clothed. My correspondent felt a little too conspicuous – though his partner had no such qualms. To sum up: OK sometimes but not to be relied upon. Most naturists choose the small, adjacent coves.
