Details
Hellenika (or Ellinika) is the central and best section of a large bay on the southwest coast. At the left end there are some beautiful white rocks, reminiscent of a stranded iceberg in the sea (but warmer), and it is possible to swim to them. This beach has dark sand and small pebbles and a few trees - very good for shade but bound to have a couple of textile families in August. My contributor stayed there for eleven days in the second part of June 2001 with his wife and saw only ten people (all naked) in all this time; and on some days the beach was deserted. To get to the beach it is about an hour and a half's walk from the village but it is very usual to ask for a lift. The occasional passers-by are apparently unconcerned by nudists. At the end of the path if there is anyone around, it might be a good idea to ask directions. The beach is marked as FKK in Frewin Poffley's guide and, the Captain is told, also in several other tourist guides it is classified as "nudist beach". Carry drinkable water and some food.

2011: A Barefooter says: "I didn't see anyone naked on any of these beaches. On Hellenika itself there was a large family group in the middle so nudism was impossible. On the others there were few people so nudism could be possible depending on who is there, but they are not great beaches and were exposed to the wind on the day I visited."
2015: Hellenika was 100% textile.
2019: we were alone here (having got lift over from our accommodation owner), so sat among the trees nude and swam nude. A motorbike parked in the car park but the riders walked off in another direction. Eventually a car arrived and we covered ourselves while they walked along the beach, but they soon left. (Helpfully, they overtook us later on the road and gave us a lift back to Bonatsa, where we swam and drank (clothed) with them).
