2013 September: Not the beach right at the northern tip of the runway also called Xanemos which is all textile. There are 3 beaches en route to that beach where nudes visited whilst we were there.
Mostly greek nudes plus some textiles but plenty of coves to get hidden. Coarse sand/shingly beach and some interesting rock formations make this worth a visit. To get there, follow the road alongside the eastern side of the runway and follow that northwards from the harbour until you reach a cluster of around 6 telegraph poles on your right with high voltage electricity cables everywhere. Park there and the path down to the main beach is 30 yards to the left as you look at the sea. Very scruffy and dirty at the top of the cliffs but don't be deterred, the beach is spotless.
Quite rocky in the sea but our swim shoes take care of that, in fact I don't know how we'd have survived without them!!
Wild Xanemos - on the eastern coast of the island, just below the cliff where the airport runway ends, you can easily find a long wild beach in "Xanemos" area. The beach is south of the main but smaller (organized) Xanemos beach (geographic coordinates 39°10'54.1"N 23°30'38.1"E), and is divided in two sections by a big rock sticking out of the water. The section that is further south is more solitary, if you don't count the seagulls. This beach is frequented by both naturists and textile swimmers, but it is wide enough to easily find a quiet spot for yourself, given that the beach is never too crowded.
The water is not much deep on this beach so you might encounter some sharp stones or sea urchins and reefs. So even though the beach can be nice for resting and sunbathing, at the same time it can be a bit challenging for swimming. The beach faces the east, so the sun is going behind the cliff in the early evening.
