The beach is cut into two parts by big stones that have fallen down. The northern part is now textile and although earlier reports said that the rather small southern part behind the stones is nude, reports from July 2001 suggest no nudism there any more.

What's more, the southern end is in shade until lunchtime. You reach the beach by steps cut in the hillside, beginning at a taverna. A report from July 2005 confirms no nudism. Reports from 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013 (returning naturists) further confirm. The most beautiful beach of Lefkas no longer has a nude section.

The bridge you see on the left in the top photo, is now destroyed by the 2015 earthquake.

2017 August: Nothing changed from the past years: Porto Katsiki remains too way touristic and no nudism. If you're visiting in a group of nudists (meaning more than 3 or 4) you may try to get this beach back!

2019 May: Possibly the most dramatically scenic beach on Lefkas but sadly not naturist friendly. Even when we visited on a dull and wet day early in the month, though few in number, there was a constant stream of tourists visiting the beach. No signs of any repairs to the bridge across to the headland at the northern end of the beach that was destroyed in the 2015 earthquake.

2021 May: We had the pleasure of having this breathtaking beach all to ourselves during the quarantine. Sadly though, I suspect this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
