There are two very beautiful sandy beaches on the small but spectacular island of Nikouria southwest of Eigiali, which Barefooters have rated 95%. During the high season there are small boats that take people from Agios Pavlos to the island in a few minutes. The boat leaves you on a long rocky beach (not very nice) but a short walk by trail (go to and then beyond the chapel) takes you to the two beaches. During the beginning of July there was naturism on the first beach and the second one was deserted. My reporter has the impression though that in August things there might be very different and not for the better!
2021: You can take a €5 return boat from Agios Pavlos, departing every hour from 10 am to 6 pm, last return to Agios Pavlos 7 pm. The first, and bigger beach, is not nice at all. The second is better and nudism is accepted (we saw just one male naked at the far end of the beach). The third beach was perfect and quiet, just another 3 textile couples when we arrived, we stripped off as soon as we arrived, no issues, during the day a few more couples came for a quick swim and some got naked too. No facilities around.

2023 mid-Sept :
In principle, the boat makes the transfer from 11:00 to 19:00 (every hour), but on our first visit it didn’t sail.
Boat: price 5 EUR/pers/return. It stops first at Mikri Nikouria (Second beach on google) and then at the main beach (where there’s a beach bar and a few deckchairs). We decided to go down to Mikri Nikouria. 100% nude (except for my wife!), protected from the wind. Sometimes there are goats looking for food, even in our bags… The problem is that there’s a garbage can where visitors leave their garbage when they leave. Please take it with you and drop it off at Agios Pavlos!
It seems that the third beach on the left as you arrive is predominantly textile. To get there, people get off at the first boat stop (Mikri Nikouria) and walk about 10 min.
