2007 August: Barefoot reporters who were there found this the most naturist beach on the island. The beach was long enough to walk a discreet distance from the textiles, who tend to collect in the first half of the beach. It was, like many island beaches, busy with Greek families on Sundays, but during the week much fewer people, mostly naked.

2009 June: on one day there were only 7 people on the whole beach. One Greek family wore clothes, the other people were nude. And a lot of beach for each of them.

2010 June: during the week nude bathing was no problem, but we have been bothered by a voyeuristic single Greek male.

2013 June: Platia Ammos had 3 nude ladies, a nude lady as part of 2 couples where I believe the other 3 had just dressed and us. A textile couple turned up later where the man had a great interest in the beach pebbles near the 2 nude ladies and us but, strangely enough, nowhere else on the beach. BE WARNED, the steps to the beach resemble the great wall of China and if you are in any way unfit, DO NOT attempt it. The beach is also very hard to walk on as it is all pebbles. This is however the best nude option by far.

August it's a little bit far from Argostoli (the ferry boat takes half an hour to get to Lixouri), the last part of the road is quite bad for motorbikes (but we have reached the top of the stairs). 280 steps. Textiles place themselves on the first part of the beach. A few minutes walking we placed ourselves and stripped off with no problems. Two more couples of naturists arrived and placed themselves on the last part of the beach. Three more young couples arrived but I think they were textiles trying (and obviously enjoying) nudism for the first time (only men stripped off; one girl topless). We spent a great day even if sea conditions were not so good and it was quite difficult to swim. 280 steps are challenging but (if you are fit) it is worth it!

2020 October: the stairs only go two thirds of the way down to the beach. The last third of stairs have now completely been destroyed (it would seem this is the case since the 2014 earthquake) so it is no longer possible to access this beach except by boat. Sometimes you hear reports that a beach is not accessible when actually if you are young and fit (like me) it is accessible. This is not one of those times and if you tried it you would be risking breaking an arm or leg.
