This is not a known naturist beach so please be careful.

Beach located at the end of the airport runway. Very quiet in September. A few rocks at first but then fine sand and gently shelving. A few naturist couples but sometimes only my reporters. The locals tend to stay at the first part of the beach.

2019 September: In the first week of our holiday we stayed in Avithos and then moved on to Ratzakli. On changeover day we had a few hours spare before check-in so decided to go to Argostoli. En-route we stopped at Minies to explore and, being a hot day, hoped we might be able to cool off with a quick skinny dip. Minies is in fact the name of a small village close to the airport rather than any particular beach and there are in fact three beaches nearby that are known as Minies Beach. Seperately they are; Eglina Beach, Megali Ammos Beach and Spasmata Beach.

We parked close to the most southerly, Eglina Beach which is only 100m wide, sandy and very busy with a beach bar, sunbeds and umbrellas. It was clearly 100% textile so we walked round to Megali Ammos, just 100m north.

There is a small harbour at the southern end of Megali Ammos beach. There was nobody about either at the harbour or at that end of the beach and it may have been possible to strip off. However, it is not secluded and there was a lot of seaweed both on the beach and in the water so it was not at all appealing!

Megali Ammos Beach is sandy and about 0.5km long. The northern half of the beach has beach bars, sunbeds and umbrellas and was 100% textile. The beach becomes rocky at the northern end but there are a few tiny, secluded areas of sand below the low cliffs at that end where it may be possible to strip off. However, being so close to the busy textile area we did not feel comfortable to do so and we continued our walk a further 100m along the road past the end of the runway to Spasmata Beach.

Spasmata Beach is also sandy and at about 0.7km is the longest of the beaches. We walked a short way along the beach and it too was very busy and seemed to be 100% textile. From a distance it appeared that the far northern end was not as busy and may provide an opportunity for nudism. However, time was getting on and we decided to forego our skinny dip, turn back and continue our journey to Argostoli. We later learnt from a local that the far northern end is indeed used by naturists and probably the part referred to in the above report.

We found all three beaches busy for the time of year but in part this was probably because it was a Sunday when locals like to spend a family day on the beach. Further investigation and feedback would be useful, particularly in respect of the northernmost end of Spasmata Beach which we did not explore.
