My contributors last visited Lourdas in 1999, when the 300 yds of the east end of the beach were entirely naturist.

2004 July: Now sunbeds reach right up to the end of the usable terrain. "Having chosen to stay at Lourdas because of the supposedly naturist beach, we were deeply disappointed - as (we assume) were the several other people who appeared to be looking for somewhere to take their clothes off". Nothing at Lourdas, but walk to the west (right of the beach) for 15 minutes, and you arrive on Kanali beach, where there are several really lovely sandy bays populated by naturists.

2017: We stayed at Lourdata from the end of September to early October. Lourdas, the local beach is a fairly unremarkable gritty sand and pebble beach and essentially is 100% textile. However, we noticed one solitary male naturist using the far left (east) end of the beach. Naturism is probably only possible on this beach out of high season. The sea-front road, which is a bus route, runs almost to that end of the beach and, although at that time of the year it is very quiet we didn't feel comfortable enough to join him. In any event there are better and more suitable beaches nearby.
