This is another, quieter, clothing-optional beach within an inlet of rocky cliffs. It can be reached by boat from Angali (see above), or by walking down a path from the Ano Meria bus terminus. The walk takes nearly an hour and can be done in the nude most of the way (the Captain hasn't tried this and can't therefore recommend it personally). The beach is a mixture of sand and pebbles, with a lot of pillars that people have built by piling stones on top of each other - these can be seen from a long way above whilst walking down the path and they look like people on the beach. There are no facilities.
2010 June: On the South West side of the island it is my favourite, secluded (you have to walk on a path for about 40 minutes from the main road to reach it) very sheltered, with some trees that guarantee a very pleasant shadow. White nice pebbles, crystal calm waters and some nice flat white rocks on the right side where you can sunbathe or just dive into the water (or just watch the sunset in the sea – a rarity in an island where the position of the beaches normally doesn’t allow this).
Nudism is normal there, even if not exclusive.
August: This beach is very heavily used and the day I visited was 100% textile, although many of the women were topless. Obviously in a quieter month, this may change, but with all the families on the beach, it would be a brave naturist who would have bared it all on the day I visited.
2013 July: nice water and beach but 100% textile…
2014 August: Arrive early via the path from Ano Meria and you have the beach to yourself 'til around 11am when hordes of people start arriving by boat. The day we went we grabbed one of the bays in the trees at the back of the beach and, although later on we did have families walking past, no-one batted an eyelid. After the boats arrived we would however don our shorts to get to the sea. There were two fellow naturists, one just behind us and the other on the rocks on the right.
Middle August 2015: I was the only nudist on the beach but I had no kind of problem, there were also some other nudist guys on the rock in the right part of the bay.
September 2015: We went there by boat from Agali - the trip itself is recommended along the steep cliffs of the island with the falcons (?) doing their spectacular flight manoeuvres. The beach is pebbly, the water crystal clear, the flat cliffs to the right offer plenty of space for "grilling" in the sun, and the tamarisks in the back offer plenty of shade. Nudism? No problem! That is, if you do not let the textiles bother you, which of course we didn't ;-)
First week July 2017. Caught the boat here from Agali. Euro 10 return - great trip in along the steep cliffs, with a drop-off point at Agios Nikolaos both ways - that would enable you to sample both beaches in one day for the one boat fare. A few nudists on the day we were there - lots of textiles - but absolutely no hassles. Everybody minds their own business - even the arrival of the round-island-excursion boat didn't change the atmosphere. Terrific swimming in the bay - beautiful warm, smooth and clear water - the wind was blowing the day we were there, but the beach and bay protected by the high cliffs (which were also fun for some nude climbing to get some great views). Lots of trees to the back of the beach - hot day so people were taking advantage of the shady spots, including a few nudists. Look out for the unusual stone cairns people have been building on the beach - add an unusual atmosphere to the place.
First week of September 2021: Beautiful bay. Remote beach; mainly nudist in the morning until ferry comes. Then a mix.
