This looks like another loss to the naturist community. At the Red Beach, accessible by the bus terminal for the archaeological site at Akrotiri, if you hike around the point at the right as you face the water you will come to another cove where there used to be a nude beach. It was reachable on foot, but you have to go up and over the point that separates it from Red Beach. Head inland about halfway down Red Beach (the trail is obvious) and then follow the cliff top.

1998 September: Boat trips are on offer to the Red, White and Black beaches and one of the boats actually advertised a stop at the nude beach.

2000 August: A report says there are now sun umbrellas on the Red Beach; it is very busy and entirely textile. However there are a few square metres of the beach where you can find some naked people, near the hill which divides the Red Beach from the White Beach. But a contributor who visited in October at the far end of almost empty Red Beach resulted in angry yells and whistles. Oh dear. More recent reports also confirm no real chance of nudism here.

However the Captain hears that although the Red beach is now completely full of umbrellas, at the right end of the beach there's a little cliff which you either climb or swim by, and then you reach a small beach.

2006 August: a Barefoot reporter found this beach while swimming alone from the normal Red Beach, there were about 8 people of all ages and one family. Perhaps the best thing about this beach is that it cannot be seen by the Red Beach. That means a little walking to get there. Enjoy

2013: We were the first ones at red beach one morning, went to the far end, got 2 lounge chairs and sat naked. a man came over to collect money and clearly saw we were naked. he didn't say anything so we stayed that way. the beach filled up and no-one else ever got naked. we didn't care and no-one bothered us, but not a great place to feel comfortable being naked.

2015 October: the west end had two nude men and about a half-dozen topless women. It doesn't seem like an optimal place, and if more crowded than it was, would be likely too close to textiles.

2019: Interesting scenery and partly challenging path to the beach via the southern parking spot, but not suitable to relax during high season due to the large crowds and the water taxis blowing their horns every 20 minutes. 100% textile.
