After spending 2 glorious weeks on Alonissos my contributors found a wonderful pebble beach called Spartines Bay.  All the effort was worth it and most days my contributors had the beach to themselves with only the occasional boat anchoring for a swim. Idyllic and well worth the effort, although I would advise favouring the middle part of the beach as the shade kicks in early on the southern end. Obviously no facilities. Rating: 75%. The walk from Patitiri to the beach took 45 mins.

2017 July: The bay is really wonderful and consists of three beaches. the first is reachable only by boat, the second (where we've been) by car/motorbike/foot and the third by foot, passing by the second beach. we've been in the second beach in the morning and no-one was there so we stayed naked. Then some textiles families arrived and one old Greek man yelled us that was not a nude beach, so we decided to go away (about midday). While we were leaving a Greek girl stopped to tell us the naked part of the bay was the third beach. Unfortunately some big trees had fallen on the path which links the two beaches of this bay and we didn't manage to reach it. Anyway the beach has little pebbles and the sea was really clear and fine.

September - Visited this beach once walking from the town. You arrive at the middle beach and then have to hike to your left up over a headland then descend to a large stony beach. It was very quiet with a couple of textiles and one nude girl. A young couple arrived later in the morning.

2018 September. A great beach but best in the afternoon when the cliffs backing the beach provide some shade as the sun dips. A pebble beach of course with clear water. I spent three afternoons on this beach in early September nude with the beach to myself save for one day when a local came down and stripped off. Plenty of room . As for directions then the beach can be approached from both north and south. Best bet is from the south from the vehicle accessible Spartines first beach. The report above (September 2017) remains valid but beware of the fallen trees and cables. Coming from the north then the report above needs some revision. The truck depot has now been abandoned but the wall surrounding still exists. The path starts just before the abandoned depot and is obvious. In fact it is the drive to the house you will find after 500 yards approx. The path continues outside but along the right hand wall of the house and through a disused olive grove. When it descends through the pine forest the path is obvious but steep. Beware of fallen branches and vegetation which may trip you up. Eventually you can access the beach from this path. In all highly recommended. No facilities of course.
