The Captain understands that a caique leaves the port each morning and goes to Livadi beach and, if the wind is favourable and enough people want to go, it goes all the way to Kalotaritissa at the north-east corner of the island. Here there is a small, very isolated, village and there are 3 small beaches. You have to find out about the caique by word of mouth - there is no information about it displayed anywhere. It was not running in June 2010.

Tripiti is the third (last) beach of Kalotaritissa village and the nicest! Now that the asphalt road goes to Kalotaritissa, you can reach it after a 90 - 100 minutes walk starting from Kendros. You can still reach it too by taking the unpaved central road (there is a detailed map of the island near Stavros bakery and the new cash-delivery machine) which climbs to the vicinity of Donoussa's highest point and then transforms to a donkey path to go down to Kalotaritissa (also about 90 - 120 minutes). But you will not regret the length of the trip! As you drop down to the sea you will find the very welcoming Taverna at which it is sensible to call before taking the path to the beach, which is easy to follow except for the first bit (head for the break in the old stone wall with the cross painted on it). White sandy beach, nearly unspoiled, crystal-clear turquoise water!!! No shade, no food (maybe in Kalotaritissa, but not in May), no water, so bring anything you need (and leave nothing behind you). (Note that the black spots in the water in the picture are not tar but urchins). My reporter was alone for the entire afternoon there.

2013 June: there were three couples when we visited, two of them we would call "professionals" i.e. much better tans than ours!

There is now a bus service to Kalotaritissa so it is possible to walk over the mountain, lunch in the taverna, spend the afternoon on Tripiti and catch an evening bus back to Stavros, I think the last bus being about 9pm so if you wished you could revisit the taverna before catching the bus back.

The boat trip round the island also called in at Kalotaritissa for about three hours, so plenty of time to visit Tripiti or either of the other two beaches, at least one of which was naturist.

2014: A report lifted from the Forum says: If you take the bus to the end of the route at Kalotaritisa and then walk about 10 minutes further there is a small sandy beach called Tripiti where it is possible to be nudist. There are never many people here and there is usually a handful of tents on the beach. But another report deriving from July says that in Kalotaritisa, probably due to the new bus connection, only dressed people on the beach (and no topless at all).

2015 June: there was a round the island boat trip, after many days of too much wind for a trip. We spent about 3 hours in Kalotaritissa and went to Tripiti beach, which was all naturist, and not busy despite boat trippers and bus trippers in the village! On 21 June we took the bus from Stavros to Kalotaritisa and walked the 5 minutes to the third Tripiti Beach. There were 17 people on the beach most of whom were naturist. The bus operates in June 4 times a day and increases to 5 in July. The bus trip can be quite an experience particularly as it is [c]rammed on the return journey.

2016 June We came by boat. There were 2 groups of naturists on Tripiti (sitting under umbrella or well back from shore), but a large group of textiles on the beach also.
September 2016 Went to Donussa for my first trip to have a look at the island & Kendra's it a basic island but very quiet & Loved it so much I rebooked 4 days next year Aug. 29—31. Lots of nudist people and I had a great time. Looking forward to livardi

GREAT PLACE FOR NUDIST HOLIDAYS VERY COOL PLACE INDEED.

2018 August: 100% textile when we went there (once only), and signs on other Kalotaritissa beaches stating "No nudism" (as well as No camping)

2019 September: South east and south west beaches. With the exception of the harbour beach, naturism is possible and widely practised (60-70%) everywhere. Beaches north of the island, Kalotaritissa bay. The first beach, which takes its name from the bay (also called Mesa Ammos), made of pebbles with small moorings for fishing boats, is about twenty metres from the terminal bus stop. Fully textile. In ten minutes heading east, a very evident path that runs a few metres from the water leads to the sandy beach of Tripiti, small, isolated and quite deep with a good entrance into the water. Mostly naturist. Still in the bay of Kaloritissa is Sapoumochoma, a third pebble beach with shade in the afternoon, very evident when arriving by bus because it is close to the road. Textile.

2021 July: mixed crowd textile and naturist, no issues. No facilities or natural shade. Great place for snorkelling.

2023 May: Great west facing beach a short distance from the hamlet. No others present. Good nude bathing possibilities. No shade. Lovely walk over the hills from Stavros. Grab a lunch at the Taverna and then wander to this beach to relax.
