Views are breathtaking, and it’s a clothes-optional beach on the left when you reach the car park. To the right are bars, etc.
June 2001: There were about half a dozen couples there and a family when my Barefooter was there, all nude. Another Barefooter says the beach itself attracts families, couples and single men, sometimes in groups. It’s relaxed and unthreatening, very little shade, and nowhere to throw rubbish. A long walk to get a drink. Be careful about spiking umbrellas in sand, as it’s a turtle nesting beach, and spikes can damage nests
September 2001: Reports say it is a very narrow beach but quiet and long, there were only about 15 couples at any one time, the sea in front of the beach is very safe and quiet because it is a restricted area for the loggerhead turtles and no boats are allowed in the area. Another report says the naturists are pushed to the far end of the beach where the shoreline is narrow but it is certainly pleasant enough. The naturist section was never busy, maximum around a dozen at any one time, and we would recommend the beach to anyone who likes a bit of peace and quiet.
Summer 2002:A report confirms that naturist activity seemed well tolerated and also recommended the shingly cove just to the east.
June 2003: There was a very small naturist section at the left end of the very crowded and hard-to-reach beach. It was rather dangerous to stay close to the rock fall. But if you go further to the left, involving some “not too difficult” climbing you can find a few other small naturist beaches. In August there were about 10 to 20 naturists there.
August 2005: Barefooters got there early in the morning (around 11 am) and were the first nudists on the left part of the beach. In order to reach that part of the beach, they had to walk all the way to some rocks and even through the sea. For some time we were the only nudists there. Later only one couple joined us. The man decided to strip off, while the lady sunbathed topless. We have visited this beach on one more occasion (late in the afternoon) and this time there were three or four more couples, all naked.

Location
They lead to a former (1996) taverna in the south coast. Park the car and walk eastward along the beach around the hedge about 300 metres away. There is a wonderful beach just under very wild and high cliffs. You still have to walk round the cliff face to get to the beach at Melia. The beach is very little populated and the bathing is wonderful. It is quite narrow with a limited number of sandy areas, at most points you have to walk through stones and rocks while entering the sea.

Alternative directions: When going to Daphne, head for Porto Zoro on the Vasilikos peninsula. It is signposted, but only in Greek, off on the right when driving from Argassi towards Gerakas. You drive for about half a mile up very steep and winding tracks (about 3km) and it's better in a 4x4. It looks as though you are driving through someone's farmyard, but persevere.
There are three different roads off the main road road from Argassi which all lead to the beach, however for the nearest parking to the nude area, you will need to take the last turn-off signposted on the right on a sharp left-hand turn (but road is quite rough, as they all are).
