There is a sign indicating "NO CAMPING - NO NUDISM" and other information on the taverna at the beach. There is more than one beach - [Livadia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/livadia/) - One contributor says this is one of the better clothing-optional beaches on Antiparos. It is about 6km from the town and the last part of the road is very rough but negotiable if very careful in a car (although 4x4 or car with high clearance would be better). The far end of the beach away - [Meghala Monasteria](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/meghala-monasteria/) - I think the reason why the road to Livadia has been improved is because an Italian entrepreneur has bought-up land for a vineyard in the bay just south of Livadia called Meghala Monasteria. The bay is beautiful, slowly shelving and great for snorkelling but was frequented by a significant number of local families so we - [Limenari / Vathy Limenari](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/limenari-vathy-limenari/) - End of August 2018: not really a very comfortable beach (pebbles, small to rather large) but nice scenery and water, and very quiet (the marked trail from Kedros to Livadi passes at the back of the beach but there are not many hikers). Quite suitable for naturism, 50% to 100% naturist at the time. [location-weather id="3984"] - [Livadis](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/livadis/) - According to the book Walking the Aegean Islands this beach is often deserted. The day my contributor visited in June 2010 there were several free campers and some other day visitors. Beautiful sandy, gently shelving beach with shade from a couple of tamarisk trees but no facilities, so take food and water and perhaps shade. Around - [Fikio](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/fikio/) - This is the little beach you reach when you start going down to Livadi beach (the latter being still outstanding) and you remain on the left side when the path divides into two. Some seaweed (not cumbersome) and litter (I still do not understand how people are able to bring full (heavy) plastic bottles with - [Vori / Boris](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/vori-boris/) - What, another nice beach, Andros seems to get better and better! Shipwrecks, lovely clean coarse sand - a well sheltered bay with good views. Vori is perhaps the most difficult beach to reach due to poor maps and it being a long way down a rough track. To get there involves heading first up into - [Agios Georgios](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agios-georgios-3/) - There is another beach to the south of the island, at Agios Georgios, but it sports big notices - No campers, no nudists! Nevertheless, when the Captain visited, one of the three people on the beach there was nude. It appears that large areas of land have been cleared here, probably for development as a - [Falassarna](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/falassarna/) - This is on the west coast near Platanos, usually approached from Kastelli, as you come into for sign to Falasarni Beach Hotel.

A new road leads almost all the way, leaving just a short walk down the stairs. A 4-wheel-drive car is recommended. The road is not easy: 8 kilometres of mountain road along a very stony road and later 8 kilometres back, but it - [Tersanas / Calathas Bay](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/tersanas-calathas-bay/) - By asking around, some Swedish friends found a small, but very friendly beach just a little bit away from Tersana Beach. Tersana is situated 15 km NorthEast from Hania, on the West side of the Akrotiri peninsula, and is easy to find with a scooter. The beach was visited by mainly Greek people, but a few - [Kera](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kera/) - On the north coast 15km east of Chania, Kera lies between the small resorts of Kalives and Almirida. Originally just a chapel ("Kera" is Greek for "Our Lady"), there is now a loose collection of villas and holiday apartments - but it is still very quiet. Kera has a beach - stony at the west - [Georgioupolis (aka Kavros or Peristeras beach)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/georgioupolis-aka-kavros-or-peristeras-beach/) - Any Barefooters know anything?

Park in the village and walk down to the tiny beach (with a taverna) and climb up the other side. Turn right - [Sises](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/sises/) - The Captain has not yet personally visited this beach. The original report said the setting was pretty and the 2 metres of stone at the water’s edge then turns to sand. However, the back of the beach has a lot of flotsam – maybe some keen nudists could undertake a clean-up. [location-weather id="4992"] - [Agia Pelagia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agia-pelagia/) - There is a report (2014) of a small beach under the Peninsula Hotel, where you can sun naked, next to Psaromoura beach. Sounds somewhat furtive - further information would be welcome… [location-weather id="4990"] - [Hersonissos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/hersonissos/) - A report reaches me of a tiny enclave near Hersonissos, tucked in at the east side of the curve of the bay from the Knossos Royal Village Hotel. There is sand as well as rock and is fine for swimming and snorkelling. It is possible to go beyond this point but the beach does become - [Chomatistra and nearby beaches at Cape Agios Ioannis](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/chomatistra-and-nearby-beaches-at-cape-agios-ioannis/) - Below the cape north of Plaka, near the old Aforesmenos lighthouse, lies Chomatistra beach (Παραλία Χωματίστρα). It is a wide bay facing North, only accessible via boat. However, a few hundred metres North of it, there are two smaller beaches that can be accessed by walking. Starting from the little chapel in the wind park - [Plaka](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/plaka/) - North of Elounda, just after Plaka, before the road turns to left up the mountain, there is a dirt track to the right, following the coastline. After about 600 metres you see a path leading down to the sea. This path is blocked by a little wall, so that's where my reporters had to leave - [Mochlos (Μοχλος)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/mochlos-μοχλος/) - Little village off the main road a few km east of Agios Nikolaos on the way to Sitia. Very picturesque situation and, most unusually, all the trees along the esplanade wear little labels giving their proper botanical names. The main local industry appears to be quarrying massive lumps of limestone. The village is known mainly - [Cape Gata/Greko](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/cape-gata-greko/) - Cape Greko is at the east end of the island. It is near Ayia Napa. Near the end of the road out to the cape there are places that Naturists can go. Go to the end of the road at the fence to the radio [=radar] site.

Mostly known as a kitesurfing beach it is generally empty and often proper for nudism. The water is calm until 11.00, but later wind blows stronger. Though swimming is still possible. Fields at the north are deserted - [Avdimou](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/avdimou/) - The Captain had understood that this beach represented a good prospect. Unfortunately I have received reports from summer 2003 and 2004 in which naturist bathers were arrested and cautioned for naked bathing at Avdimou and told it was illegal. Large signs at both ends advise that nudists will be prosecuted and the Captain hears there have been - [Melanda beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/melanda-beach/) - In March 2018 Barefoot correspondents visited all the beaches on this stretch of coast. Local advice was that Melanda Beach took its name from the restaurant and not the other way round. From this they concluded that the beaches previously identified as “Melanda” or possibly “East Pissouri” were in fact unnamed beaches somewhere west of Avdimou and - [Melanda West Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/melanda-west-beach/) - Nice beach backed by low cliffs, sandy with some pebbles. The main strand of sand is a little over 300m in length but it is very narrow and separated in two by a large rock outcrop in the middle. A short distance west of this strand and before the next headland, are a few further - [East Pissouri Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/east-pissouri-beach/) - This is the second beach previously described under Melanda beach. If it has one, the actual beach name has not been ascertained but it is within the general curving sweep of Pissouri Bay and it lies west of the headland that separates it from the beaches and coves at Melanda. Accordingly the name East Pissouri - [Pissouri beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/pissouri-beach/) - Mid-way between Paphos and Limassol, this beach is perhaps 1 km wide with mixed sand and shingle. There is a big hotel in the centre of the beach but at the Eastern end there are several sheltering rocks where once or twice we have seen naturists, some of them clearly gay men. There is also a - [Aphrodite's Birthplace](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/aphrodites-birthplace/) - Several shingle beaches on the Paphos side of Petra tou Romeo.

The directions to the beach are easy to follow, but development is proceeding rapidly in the Paphos area, and new vacation villas are springing up along the cliffs. Driving past the small harbour is now only possible in a 4x4 - [Lara Turtle Beaches](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/lara-turtle-beaches/) - A report from May 2004 describes Lara as a very long sandy beach by Cyprus Standards. A very quiet beach for the size and the nudists (mostly locals) stay at the far end near the white cliffs. Lara beach is an excellent place for all nudists in Cyprus; it is very natural and clean for everyone - [The Clean Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/the-clean-beach/) - Obviously not its name. This pebbly cove lies beyond Pt. Geranisos, about 0.5km north along the road, not the beach road, a track leads off to the left/west. It is difficult to locate as there are no landmarks on the road but once you arrive on the shore, it is quite distinctive with two reefs - [Polis camping beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/polis-camping-beach/) - Normally clothed but you can usually find a few naturist couples sunbathing under the bushes further along the beach, even in the middle of summer (depending on the number of German campers!). The beach is about 1 km long, sandy but not so sheltered as the beach above. [location-weather id="4946"] - [Kato Pyrgos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kato-pyrgos/) - North coast, near border with occupied territory. Needs exploring, no names but my reporters found some excellent, clean locations. Great harbour with new and working amphitheatre. Normal car OK.

[location-weather id="4942"] - [Koruçam/Kormakitis peninsula](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/korucam-kormakitis-peninsula/) - 2016: The peninsula has wide natural beaches which are empty enough to try with naked swimming and sunbathing. You can, for example, pass through the Akdeniz / Agia Eirini to the beach and walk leftwards; but there are certainly a lot other (even better?) places on the peninsula. Unfortunately also a lot of waste around - [Karpaz beach aka Golden Beach, Nankomi Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/karpaz-beach-aka-golden-beach-nankomi-beach/) - Reports reach the Captain of Golden Sand in the Karpaz area of North Cyprus.

You might see locals strolling up and down to beach. - [Porto Germeno](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/porto-germeno/) - This is an amazing pebbly secluded beach with crystal clear waters. The access is through a short trail but it is well worth it. Depending on whether you have a 4x4 on not, you can drive up to any point you see fit, then walk the rest of the way. Use the road that is - [Kinetta](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kinetta/) - This beach is to the West of Athens, toward Peloponnese. It's 50Km from centre of Athens. The beach has big rocks, so you will need something to lay on, it is not very comfortable. The waters are wonderful.

First time I went there were 3 couples, 3 men alone and a company of one man and 2 women. The second day I went there, the beach had about 6 to 7 gay men all looking at each other, not so cosy, - [Kape Beach / Cape Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kape-beach/) - When we went there, we met another nudist couple and some single men. The truth is that some of them had "pleasure" watching women undressing and my wife stayed topless a few minutes, before strip off. The water was clean but the beach is stony and sea shoes are absolutely useful. Better than Legrena. Nice - [Boukourima](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/boukourima/) - New nudist Beach reported May 2017: Located 400 metres north of Kakia Thalassa Beach, Keratea. 100 metres long beach, mostly sandy on the southern part.

Both spots are completely non-textile. [location-weather id="4922"] 2017: This is a very old nudist beach in Athens. The only negative about that rocky beach is that old users are kinda aggressive against newcomers. Especially shy ones. The - [Marikes](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/marikes/) - Reports reach the Captain of this very nice beach near Rafina. At the right hand end of the beach there are stairs and a path which gets you to a more isolated rocky part and if you go further you reach a beautiful bay where you can practise naturism. My contributor gave it 80% instead - [Schinias](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/schinias/) - A long sandy beach which ends on the northeast in a rock face. [location-weather id="4912"] 2014: Schinias forest is well known and naturist groups don't exist any more. If still there's a nudist man or woman, that means 1% nudity. The atmosphere is always textile. So avoid and go to Ramnous, about 25 min. trip. In - [Dicastica (Dikastika)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/dicastica-dikastika/) - Isolated pockets of naturists along the rocks. You need decent shoes to clamber to the best spots.

[location-weather id="4910"] - [Ramnounta](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/ramnounta/) - Not exactly in down-town but it's close enough to reach it for a one-day excursion. You can only go there by car but, preferably, you should have someone local to assist you or you may be lost in a maze of dirt roads. The place is an ancient site and, whereas the beach is free, - [Syvota (near)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/syvota-near/) - 2014: in the north of Syvota, near the beach "DEH", to the north side is another small beach.

On the north side of this beach, there is a horizontal slab where you can do naturism with more privacy. - [Mikro Drafi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/mikro-drafi/) - In early season and autumn very quiet, few visitors, mostly nude. Plastic (as on all the beaches) is cleaned up by locals. Lovely campsite at only one mile - where nudism on the beach was accepted when we were there (probably the Italian crowd in summer won't like it all that much). Good swimming! 2012: beach - [Sarakiniko](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/sarakiniko/) - Sarakiniko is about 2 km north of Parga on the mainland, there are water taxis from Parga. If it is quiet there is the possibility of nude bathing and sun soaking. In September 2013 we were able to strip off for beach tennis at the north end for a couple of hours.

Between the two is a long, sandy cape - [Loutra Elefteron](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/loutra-elefteron/) - The nudist beach near Kavala, said by my source to be a legal beach, is found near the main road from Kavala to Thessaloniki, 46 kilometres from Kavala at Loutra Elefteron. This beach is one of the best nudist beaches in Northern Greece!! At the same time it is quite large. The beach has fine sand - [Keramoti](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/keramoti/) - The nudist beach is in the very east of the long beach of Keramoti. It's a wonderful sandy beach with shallow water. No shade available, so take your parasol with you. Every now and then, clothed beach hikers or joggers come by, but this is not a problem as the beach is very wide. There - [Rakopotamos - Pilion](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/rakopotamos-pilion/) - The Pilion peninsula has a ridge of high mountains down its central spine. Khorefto (Chorefton, according to Google Maps) is on the Eastern greener side, and we suspect gets some mixed weather outside of the main season. The whole area is criss-crossed by old cobbled donkey paths, kalderimia, along which my correspondents enjoyed several wonderful walks. The sea, like - [Khorefto / Parisaina - Pilion](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/khorefto-parisaina-pilion/) - The Pilion peninsula has a ridge of high mountains down its central spine. Khorefto (Chorefton, according to Google Maps) is on the Eastern greener side, and we suspect gets some mixed weather outside of the main season.

The sea, like - [Melani / Potistika](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/melani-potistika/) - The Captain hears that, on the east coast of Pilion, driving through Argalasti, you will find two beautiful sandy beaches, Potistika and Melani, divided from each other by a small hill. There seems to be some confusion as to which is which (2020)! The understanding here, for many years now, is that Melani is the northern - [Ramnos / Paradeisos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/ramnos-paradeisos/) - In the Pagasetic Gulf south of Koropi, just before Afissos, is a beautiful beach at "the cape". Last part is totally nude. Easily accessed from Koropi: take the path to the right at the point where the road begins to climb going towards Afissos.

Nudity is possible at either end depending on who gets there first. There are other beaches but you have to walk. My contributor did not need to in May - [Vitsilia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/vitsilia/) - A Barefoot reporter visited this fine pebble / coarse sand mixture beach in June 2005 and found it lovely and clean with crystal clear water. He was alone there with his wife for entire afternoons. Since it's a long way south of Fourni harbour, it's a good idea to rent a motorbike there and take the (asphalted) - [Elidaki](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/elidaki/) - Amazing beach, after Kambi and next to Petrokopio, the path at the end of the road is not too complicated and very short. Very beautiful beach, almost 100% nudist in 2015. 2018: This is a great beach, and was nearly always 100% nudist in the week I was here - there was the odd family who turned - [Klissidi Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/klissidi-beach/) - Situated about half a kilometre east of the port, this is a pure sand beach with shade from tamarisk trees, but with a prominent 'No Camping, No Nudism' sign on display. With the sign and the accommodation immediately behind the beach, naturism is not recommended here. [location-weather id="4824"] - [Roukounas Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/roukounas-beach/) - 2010: there was quite a few free campers on the right hand side of the beach, which was about 30% nude (less on Sunday, when some locals visited). My correspondents were comfortable being nude, but in high season this might not be the case. 2011: Roukounas beach still remains a good option for naturism. at the - [Livadi beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/livadi-beach/) - This is quite a large sandy beach which is very quiet. Livadi beach is extremely shallow and the dry sand seems rather earthy and therefore dirty. It is also bad for various biting flies. [location-weather id="4818"] 2002: there are two large official looking No Camping signs, one at the start of the beach and the other - [Alimia beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/alimia-beach/) - 2009: On the far south west end of the island there is a fantastic bay with a sandy beach.

My contributors visited in early June '99, and the only people there appeared to be locals. Only 20-30% were nude, but nudity was very acceptable anywhere on the beach. Very nice and relaxed beach, clean and - [Psili Ammos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/psili-ammos/) - From the village of Ioulida take the road to Kalidonichi. After a while the asphalt disappears and the road becomes a dirt track. When you reach Kalidonichi beach you leave the car there and climb the rocks on your left. It is not difficult. From the top you can see the small beach of Psili - [Kaliskia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kaliskia/) - The beach may be reached only using a 4x4 car or a boat. Depending on the day or the period of the year, this beach may be crowded with many children, boats and campers, but when few people come in the morning the beach becomes naked only, all day. [location-weather id="4811"] - [Ennias](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/ennias/) - East of Alyki, accessible from a branch of the main road some 300 metres before turning left for Bonatsa/Alyki.

A great beach for shade as there are - [Agios Georgios](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agios-georgios/) - 2011: Further southwest from Kalamitsi, park by the church and walk downhill behind the church. Great little beach with sand and usually either deserted or nude. 2015: The beach was deserted. We stayed for an hour or so and saw no-one. [location-weather id="4807"] - [Dekas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/dekas/) - Next to Hellenica, with the islet of Agios Andreas lying centre stage a short distance off. But no shade, dark sand and small pebbles, and access is a bit more messy through a bumpy road or simply by walking along to the left from Hellenica. Dekas is almost always deserted and usually 80-100% nude. Sometimes - [Hellenika](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/hellenika/) - Hellenika (or Ellinika) is the central and best section of a large bay on the southwest coast. At the left end there are some beautiful white rocks, reminiscent of a stranded iceberg in the sea (but warmer), and it is possible to swim to them. This beach has dark sand and small pebbles and a - [Mavrospilia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/mavrospilia/) - This beach, immediately north of Hellenika, is also dark sand and small pebbles. No trees for shade. It is still a popular nudist beach, but at a 50% rate in September 2011. The previous month no-one was seen naked, so the usual seasonal pattern is apparently being followed here. 2015: this beach was also 100% textile. We - [Prassa](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/prassa/) - I have a report from September 2011 of white sand and great crystal-clear waters here but after the beach bar opened there is no place for nude bathing there, except for the odd topless girl…. 2014: we saw no sign of a functioning beach bar. We were alone until a car full of Greek lads arrived - [Tzanaki Beach near Livadia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/tzanaki-beach-near-livadia/) - Sad to say that you can miss the big house with the swimming pool - we did miss it in June 2018 and walked a long way past Tzanaki Beach. There are lots of new buildings - studios and boutique hotels that are complete but empty, and others that are actively being built - so maybe that's - [Agios Konstantinos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agios-konstantinos/) - Widely acclaimed as one of the best beaches on the island, with a great view towards the Chora, this beach may well present possibilities even in season, due to its convenient division into two parts. It is sandy and there is a seasonal taverna, loungers and parasols on the larger (right-hand) side. In July 2011 The - [Chrysi Acti or Golden Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/chrysi-acti-or-golden-beach/) - Not having received reports from Astipalea for some time, the Captain was delighted to hear from a Barefoot reporter who stayed on the island in September 2004 and 2006 and discovered a beach which is in the neighbourhood of the airport, in the Va bay. My reporter happened to be there alone or with a few other people, mixture - [Kaminakia & Vatses](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kaminakia-vatses/) - 2013 September: My wife and I visited both these beaches. Kaminakia Beach is sandy with shade from trees at the the north end with some beach chairs. There are a couple of tavernas and houses. There were two other couples when we arrived and everyone was on the sun beds. Everyone was covered until we stripped - [Panormos Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/panormos-beach/) - 2013 September: We decided to take the long dirt road from Hora to the most north-westerly beach on the island suspecting it would be totally deserted. The road takes a sharp northerly fork off the road towards Livhadia at the top of Hora town and initially winds up to the windmill overlooking the entire island and - [Kaminia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kaminia/) - A ten-minute drive from Vathi, most of it down a dirt road, but easily navigable in a small car. Barefooters had the beach to ourselves two mornings running. A beautiful spot, beach is mainly small pebbles (September 2007).

He'll spin them off into their own entry. [location-weather id="4779"] The first location is below cliffs north of Aegina town. Go out past 'Colona' archaeological site and you will immediately pass a narrow (textile) beach - much - [Chliadou beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/chiliadou-beach/) - Early reports from Barefooters described Chiliadou beach as one of the most well-known nudist beaches in Greece. It is on the eastern (Aegean) side of the island, about 1½ hours from Halkida (the capital of Evia island). The dream of nudists is here. The beach is perfect. The sea too. Unfortunately, more recent reports say - [Livadakia beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/livadakia-beach/) - Clean water, not sandy but lovely soft seabed, tranquility and nudity! Take care bring your own water and food because no facilities there. A parasol is absolutely needed. About 10-15 bathers, most of them nudist (August 2017) at the beach. The beach is about 250m long and distance between bathers is also very long. You - [Potami beaches](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/potami-beaches/) - There are at least 6 wonderful beaches where you will be all alone. My contributor says it's his favourite destination for a weekend escape from Athens. [location-weather id="4773"] - [Livadi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/livadi/) - You will find a nice, unspoiled beach, where you can easily free camp and stay nude for most of the day. We spent a weekend there in mid-July 2009, and were naked most of the time - except during the early afternoon hours on weekends, when families tend to visit. The farthest end (left as - [Miscellaneous Beaches on Evia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/miscellaneous-beaches-on-evia/) - If you can expand on any of these and clarify the locations and photos, do let the Cap'n know.

The first to come - [Town beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/town-beach/) - The town beach here is the island's nudist beach! It is the one south of Magazia, known locally as Tou Papa to Homa. It is not unusual for lectures from the Skyros Centre to take place here. The beach is situated under the huge rock on which Skyros Town is situated. It is very scenic and - [Agios Fokas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agios-fokas/) - A contributor recommends Agios Fokas as an alternative, particularly when the main beach is wind-affected. Agios Fokas is at northwest side of the island. My contributor says there were only a few people there, all nude, and the sea was perfect. It rated 80%. 2005: rates Agios Fokas the worst beach on the island. Together with - [Atsitsos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/atsitsos/) - Barefooters report some nudism at Atsitsos beach (NW side of Skyros), near the village. At the south end of it, my intrepid reporter lay naked twice without any comment from some Greek families around. Most visitors were from the Skyros Centre. [location-weather id="4764"] - [Agios Petros](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agios-petros/) - Some nudism is reported on the most northern beach of Skyros (Agios Petros). This beach is said to be OK, though swimming is not easy because of rocks immediately before the sea. 2015: The place is perfect for Free Camping. We were a 14-people company of friends, all nude at the beach. Practically it is - [Kolymbada](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kolymbada/) - There is a beach south of Kalamitsa called Kolymbada which is a long walk down from the main road (and a hot walk back up) but which was completely empty in July. It's not officially nudist, but there's never anyone there, so go ahead and take your clothes off! [location-weather id="4760"] - [Egiali / Aigiali](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/egiali-aigiali/) - Egiali is a pleasant village in the north of the island accessible by ferry and by bus from Katapola. It is still pretty low-key but is beginning to wake up to tourist possibilities. There are ample tavernas and some pleasant bars. The large, sandy beach adjacent to the port and shop fronts is a textile - [Levrossos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/levrossos/) - This beach is composed of golden sand and is undoubtedly pleasant. Previous correspondents reported that some days this cove was 99% nudist and the next 10%. [location-weather id="4756"] 2003: The Captain visited in June and found this report to be correct (we were able to go nude comfortably on the second day but not on - [Nikouria](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/nikouria/) - There are two very beautiful sandy beaches on the small but spectacular island of Nikouria southwest of Eigiali, which Barefooters have rated 95%. During the high season there are small boats that take people from Agios Pavlos to the island in a few minutes. The boat leaves you on a long rocky beach (not very - [Katapola](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/katapola/) - The black and white map says that naked bathing is "tolerated" on the westernmost beach of northern side of the bay of Katapola. This presumably refers to the beach named on local signs as Plakes beach. Plakes is the last stop of the small boat that leaves Katapola every hour from 9-10:00 till 17:00. Where people disembark - [Gramvousa Island](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/gramvousa-island/) - The island of Gramvousa is across from the beach at Kalotaritisa.

There are two main beaches on the island, which you can access from the boat that takes you there and there - [Amoudi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/amoudi/) - The beach is further down the island from Mouros. Make sure you bring water with you. The water there as you can see from the picture is amazing. There is hardly ever anybody there. [location-weather id="4747"] - [Agia Anna](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agia-anna/) - Amorgos is an island for walkers with a good, really good, black and white, specially drawn walkers' map. On it Agia Anna is described as suitable for naked bathing. From the bus stop at Agia Anna there is either a concrete path down to the left to the textile beach with the chapel on it - [Itanos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/itanos/) - North of Vai, it is sometimes possible to enjoy naturism on the most northerly of the beaches at Itanos: often deserted and no facilities; however reports suggest that the beach can be quite easily dominated by textiles and any nudists there "shelter" behind rocks. [location-weather id="4739"] 2002: A report says there were both textiles and naturists - [Vai](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/vai/) - The palm-fronted beach at Vai (right), used in the "Bounty Hunters" commercial, is a great tourist attraction and coaches arrive from all over Crete. I fear that those who have travelled for hours to reach it will be disappointed. A poster picturing the beach through a row of palm trees is widely available, but how - [Maridati](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/maridati/) - Maridati beach (signpost on the Vaï / Paleokastro road) is said to be nudist at the northern end. Mainly pebbles and gravel. There's a taverna set back a little way with good service - if driving, beware the bump under the entrance arch! 2017: At the entrance, there is a sign "Nudism is forbidden", but the - [Paleokastro (Kouremenos & Chiona bays)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/paleokastro-kouremenos-chiona-bays/) - Also nearby, within walking distance of the village of Paleokastro, is a pleasant beach. The Captain had understood that this area was named Chiona, but I am assured it is better considered part of Paleokastro. Small cliffs back on to the beach at the southern end. When the Captain visited in the mid-1990s nudity with - [Chochlakies (Χοχλακιες)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/chochlakies-χοχλακιες/) - Near this village north of Kato Zakros you can find a very beautiful beach (Karoumes). The beach is worth the effort. It is a large sand and pebble beach with very few people, most of them nude. [location-weather id="4731"] 2018: walked down to Karoumes in the morning, expecting to have it to ourselves but found a - [Kato Zakros](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kato-zakros/) - Kato Zakros contains a few tavernas but is mainly known for the archaeological site, which contains many hectares of Minoan ruins. The beach is at least half a kilometre long. It is stony and bathing might be difficult in rough weather. [location-weather id="4729"] 2001: a barefooter said the southern end of the beach was being - [Xerokambos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/xerokambos/) - This formerly remote village has benefitted in recent years from great improvements in its access by road, with consequent building developments, fortunately on the minor scale, to take advantage of the several excellent beaches. This is a very remote part of Crete and if solitude isn't your thing you may not be too happy here. - [Krinakia / Katsounaki / Alona](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/krinakia-katsounaki-alona/) - I talked to our apartment host and she cleared the naming chaos: Krinakia is the new official name (it's a lily growing on the dunes), Katsounaki is the old name still used by locals, and Alona is used on Google Maps for unknown reasons. [location-weather id="4725"] 2012: Katsounaki beach at the northern end of Xerokambos was - [Alatsolimni](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/alatsolimni/) - This doesn't seem to be a popular beach (more a thoroughfare); it is big and very flat and at the widest part has an extensive salt-pan along the back. The salt flats hold a rich variety of bird life. A few bulrushes do little to shield a user from all the overlooking properties along the - [Ampelos, Παραλία Άμπελος](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/ampelos-παραλία-άμπελος/) - Two beaches near the taverns. Handy for the restaurants and accommodation just over the tarmac road but, with organised brollies nearer them, nudity unlikely most of the time. [location-weather id="4721"] - [Chiona, Spiaggia d'argilla, Γεροντόλακος](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/chiona-spiaggia-dargilla-γεροντόλακος/) - Not a separate beach, it's the NE part of the clay-all-over beach beach (Argilos), separated by some boulders (easy to walk through). [location-weather id="4719"] - [Argilos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/argilos/) - 2019: nudity was the default on this beach although textiles were present. There is access from Gerontolakkos over boulders at sea level or from the southern end from rough parking above Little Horseshoe (Agios Nikolaos). Note that this beach has a high clay cliff that backs it, this attracts the "clay all over crowd", but it - [Little Horseshoe, Gerondolakkos on local map, Agios Nikolaos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/little-horseshoe-gerondolakkos-on-local-map-agios-nikolaos/) - An early contributor found directions on Page 180 of the Rough Guide (1998) and found their beach just beyond the tiny church. They shared the beach with a few people on the first day (mostly nude) and had it to themselves for most of the second. A Greek family arrived for part of the day - [Mazida Ammos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/mazida-ammos/) - Separated from the above northern and central beaches by a substantial headland, this is the longest beach in the area, it even sports organised parasols, so unlikely to be nude-friendly. The northeastern end however is separated by rocks and slightly round the corner, so offers a possibility if you don't mind the relatively quiet road - [Ligias Lakkos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/ligias-lakkos/) - At the southern end of Xerokampus, this beach (Xaritou Lakos on local map) was fine for being nude though a few textiles came and went. Unlike sandy Alona Beach, it is stony. 2018: 3 couples all nude. Bring something to lie on, as it says above, it is stony. [location-weather id="4711"] - [Agia Irini](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agia-irini/) - If tempted by a road map to visit this small stony beach, do not on any account try to get there by car - the track is difficult even for large 4x4's and it's fenced off just before the bottom. There is a coast path shown from Ligias Lakkos, which should be quicker and more - [Botzalaki beach (nr Goudouras)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/botzalaki-beach-nr-goudouras/) - This beach can be easily reached from Makrigialos - take the main road to Sitia. Just as you leave Makrigialos, and just after the sign to Diaskari, there is a turning on the right signposted to Kalo Nero, Moni Kapsa (a monastery - worth a look) and Goudouras. It's about 15k I think from Makrigialos - [Diaskari](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/diaskari/) - My correspondents spent many days there, and everyone who joined us was completely nude. The rest of the beach was also partly nudist, but not as much fun as the little cove! [location-weather id="4703"] 2000: A less-favourable report from May, however; my correspondents were the only nudists on the beach and were pestered by a - [Makrigialos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/makrigialos/) - There are said to be some nice beaches in Makrigialos (turn left at Makrigialos when you come from Sitia, after a few hundred metres park the car and go down to the beach). However, these directions bring you to Diaskari or Eftyhia/Langada and are not additional beaches. [location-weather id="4701"] - [Agia Fotia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agia-fotia/) - Another beach area which was also noted for nudists was Agia Fotia, again on the coast road, this time between Ierapetra and Koutsouras. Take a sharp turn off the main road, and follow on down until you reach the car park. Nudism is practised (with some hesitance) east of the taverna and the car park. - [Ferma](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/ferma/) - A report reaches me of a small village about 10km east of Ierepetra with a few apartments and a small beach. 2000: My correspondent, who visited in September says there were a maximum of 5 couples on the beach. Evidently my contributors are a "mixed" couple, where the man likes to go nude but the - [East of Ierapetra](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/east-of-ierapetra/) - From Ierapetra, take the coastal road heading east. It passes a longish stretch of unremarkable textile beach before climbing and veering a hundred metres or so inland. The space between the road and the low coastal cliffs becomes nondescript scrubby waste ground. Pull off onto one of the dirt tracks. (There was a Nissan roadside - [Chrissi Island / Gaidouronissi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/chrissi-island-gaidouronissi/) - The Donkey Island, (but with no donkeys at all) or Chrissi (golden: because of its "golden" sand) is a small (1x5 Km) island south of Ierapetra. It is well known for its shell beach at the northern part and for its cedar forest. There are boats departing from Ierapetra twice a day (at 10.30 and - [Tertsa](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/tertsa/) - This is west of Myrtos on the southeast coast, an excellent place to stay, reached by cycle or car on a coast road, which is now mostly metalled apart from a short rough section - which is passable with a little care (Sept 2010). Cycles can be hired in Myrtos. The 3 miles takes 40 minutes - [Aghios Pavlos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/aghios-pavlos/) - 1 hour walk to the East of Agia Roumeli. One contributor describes this as probably the most beautiful nude beach in West Crete. No sand but the fine pebbles are OK. There is now a canteen so that food is no problem. The beach is over a kilometre long. Summer sees a few textile Greeks - [Samaria Gorge & Agia Roumeli beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/samaria-gorge-agia-roumeli-beach/) - Samaria Gorge walkers who want to spend some time sunning and swimming nude after descending the gorge should try the little rocky beach on the east side of the village in Agia Roumeli. When my contributor visited for the second time in May 2001 it was exactly as he remembered it from his first visit - [Lisos / Lissos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/lisos-lissos/) - From Sougia there's no need to seek out naturist beaches, but my contributors can't have been the first hot walkers to swim naked at the inviting little beach below the ancient site. The hour's walk from Sougia is through an especially pretty gorge, and the site includes the finest mosaic (below, right) we ever saw - [Paleochora](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/paleochora/) - The town is on an isthmus about 1 mile long stretching south into the Mediterranean. It is backed up by mountains in a very beautiful area of Crete. The isthmus is about 600 yards wide in the middle. On the west is a famous long sandy beach about 3/4 mile long used for windsurfing in - [Grameno, Trahili](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/grameno-trahili/) - This beach is to be found on the Trahili isthmus, 4 kilometres from Paleochora (perhaps five from town centre to car park). Trahili is an isthmus about a mile long rather like a smaller scale version of the isthmus carrying the town. The beaches are known as Grameno and Mammeno. On the eastern side of - [Krios](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/krios/) - 2004 Summer: A correspondent recommends this beach, which is 8 km to the west of Grammeno, on an asphalt road, well signposted. The western part, he says, is perfect for nudism: small pebbles, clean sea. There are also caves and green valleys above the beach which can be visited nude - again perfect! The nudist - [Viena](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/viena/) - If Krios doesn't work out why not follow the E4 path 1.5 km or so to the next beach called Viena? The walk over hill takes about 45 min and quite enjoyable if it is not too hot (it is not recommended to walk in the middle of the day). This is quite interesting with some - [Kethrodassos (Kedrodasos)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kethrodassos-kedrodasos/) - The beach is filled with juniper trees and dunes of sand. (These are the small twisted junipers, commonly mistaken for cedars.) It covers quite a big area, and is a lovely spot: it must be wonderful for camping and you will see a lot of campers among the trees.

"Having chosen to stay at Lourdas because of the supposedly naturist beach, we were deeply disappointed - as (we assume) were - [Kanali Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kanali-beach/) - Kanali beach has two parts: the western part (see on Google maps) is accessible on a path from above. The eastern part (see on Google maps) which is more nudist, is easier to approach from Lourdas. [location-weather id="4319"] West Kanali This is beach is mixed or mostly textile in high season, but nudity is accepted at both ends. In - [Trapezaki Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/trapezaki-beach/) - Trapezaki is the westernmost in the chain of beaches starting from Lourdas. West from the parking lot there are sunbeds and a beach bar, this area is fully textile. To the east you have to walk through some rocks to reach the main beach. The beach is really nice, mostly sandy with a few bigger - [Paliolinos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/paliolinos/) - Previously entries in this guide included muddled information for beaches at Paliolinos and Avithos. Barefoot correspondents visited this area in May 2018 and, based on local signposts, have re-written this section, separating out the two, very different beaches. It is possible to get between Paliolinos and Avithos beaches along the foreshore but the climb over the rocks - [Avithos LEFT (SE) side](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/avithos-left-se-side/) - Apparently this has been an accepted naturist beach for some years. From Avithos walk to the LEFT as you face the sea and walk along the sand for 10-15 minutes, past the sunbeds, and around a small outcrop of rocks. Between this and the next big rocky outcrop is a small but lovely sandy beach. - [Minies beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/minies-beach/) - This is not a known naturist beach so please be careful. Beach located at the end of the airport runway. Very quiet in September. A few rocks at first but then fine sand and gently shelving. A few naturist couples but sometimes only my reporters. The locals tend to stay at the first part of - [Galaxy Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/galaxy-beach/) - In September 2019 Barefoot correspondents came across this beach by chance whilst en-route to Katovothres. Whilst following their route on Google Maps they noticed a pin for “Galaxy Beach FKK” and decided to stop and explore. The origins of the pin and the name “Galaxy” are uncertain and as the area is popular with walkers some caution - [Xi beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/xi-beach/) - 2.5 miles (4km) south-southwest of Lixouri are three beaches, connected to each other, with the western one called Xi beach. Xi beach is NOT a naturist beach, it is a very busy tourist beach but, to the west, within walking distance or a short drive, there are several other beaches where it is possible to - [Koutala Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/koutala-beach/) - They were the only human beings there and nude bathing and walking was ideal. The sand is orange, the water very clear. It seems unlikely that the beach is very crowded in high season, because from the busy resort of Xi it's accessible only by that narrow path over the little hill. Absolutely no signs - [Mania beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/mania-beach/) - To access Mania beach, head towards the Ionian Sea Hotel, not towards Xi, take a left ¼mile (0.4km) before you reach the hotel. You arrive at a small parking area on the cliff above the beach. Walk to the left to go closer to the point that divides Koutala and Mania, this end is naturist. - [Kounopetra beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kounopetra-beach/) - The western end of Kounopetra beach is easily reached by a paved road leading to a parking area at the taverna on the sea front. see on street view.

The beach was long enough to walk a discreet distance from the textiles, who tend to collect in the first half of the beach. It was, like many island beaches, busy with Greek families on Sundays, but during the week - [Petani](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/petani/) - Also on the peninsula is Petani beach on the west coast, about 20 minutes' drive from the ferry at Lixouri. Look out for the sign to Petania in Greek. A very winding, steep road down to this beach which has a lovely setting with a backdrop of mountains. At the bottom of the road, turn - [Fteri Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/fteri-beach/) - Accessible by boat or by a 1km driveable dirt track and moderately difficult 2km walk, this beach is potentially suitable for naturists, at least out of high season when the Fteri Water Taxi from Zola harbour isn't bringing large numbers of textiles to the beach. The trail to the beach is well marked with green and red - [Vouti Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/vouti-beach/) - Close to Aghia Kiriaki beach. In the village Zola follow the sign to the small but nice Vouti Beach. In low season (June 2010) it's a mostly quiet place where nude bathing is no problem - especially at the left side of the beach when facing the sea. It seems that in high season there is - [Aghia Kiriaki](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/aghia-kiriaki/) - After about 6 miles from Argostoli, the road forks left for Lixouri and right for Myrtos; follow the right fork and then turn left, following the sign for Aghia Kiriaki beach. The beach is a long strip of sand and shingle, divided into small and large coves, with a dirt track running its length. The - [Dafnoudi Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/dafnoudi-beach/) - The inlet is about 30 metres across and medium-to-large shingle. There are no facilities. You may be visited by boats. Previous reports suggested that this beach may be suitable for nudism, but recent correspondents reported textiles only there, so they felt unable to strip off. [location-weather id="4287"] 2016 September: Still 100% textile 2019 October: Stayed in Antipata - [Kalamaki](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kalamaki/) - A small pebbly beach just 120 metres north west of Kimilia. Take the main road from Fiskardo to Antipata. After about 1.7 kilometres, leave the road to the right and follow the signs to Kimilia beach. Shortly before the beach, you'll find a small sign pointing to the left, leading you on a small trail - [around Fiskardo](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/around-fiskardo/) - There are a series of inlets most of which have small shingle beaches at their head. Most of them are hard to reach from unmapped tracks by unmapped trails so access by boat is the practical alternative. Outboard-motor-driven boats can be hired in Fiskardo and from Agia Efimia for between 45 and 70 euro a - [Antisamos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/antisamos/) - Shooting some scenes here for the film 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin' has highlighted this lovely beach and also provided a tarmac road.

The end of the long sandy beach south - [Brakini beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/brakini-beach/) - It is completely empty and long naked days are fantastic there.

[location-weather id="4277"] - [Paxos - general information](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/paxos/) - The Cap'n would appreciate some more detailed photos and reports about this island, should anyone be passing! The Bleasdale Walking Map of Paxos refers to a naturist beach on the northern tip of the island at White Bay (see on Google Maps). It is only about 15 mins walk from Lakka, so my contributors tried it out. - [Antipaxos - general information](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/antipaxos/) - The Cap'n would appreciate some more detailed photos and reports about this island, should anyone be passing! There are two sandy beaches Voutoumi and Vrikas separated by a pebbled beach (large pebbles!) called Mezzovrikas. The sandy beaches are overrun during daylight hours by scores of textile visitors who arrive by boat from neighbouring Paxos and Corfu. Boats also anchor in - [Dafni Vasilikos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/dafni-vasilikos/) - Views are breathtaking, and it's a clothes-optional beach on the left when you reach the car park. To the right are the bars, etc. The beach itself attracts families, couples and single men, sometimes in groups. It's relaxed and unthreatening, very narrow with little shade, and nowhere to throw rubbish. A long walk to get - [Vrodonero](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/vrodonero/) - Vrodonero beach next to Cristal Hotel in Kalamaki is a fantastic beach with black sand and crystal clear waters and natural drinking water springs at the left end of the beach.

Used to be a nudist beach for many tourists but the last decade its - [Aghios Ioannis](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/aghios-ioannis/) - Barefooters who visited in June 2004 report that this beach is about 2 km from Lefkas Town on the northern tip of the west coast. Whilst not as dramatic or beautiful as the other west coast beaches its access is easier and quicker. The beach is popular with windsurfers and kite surfers and the breeze does pick up - [Gialou Skala / Tsoukalides](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/gialou-skala-tsoukalides/) - Barefooters also "found a very small beach at Gialou Skala down a paved road from the village of Tsoukalides which was 100% deserted when we got there and 100% deserted still when we left 4 hours later, sandy, felt very comfortable". [location-weather id="4265"] - [Pefkoulia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/pefkoulia/) - Pefkoulia beach is located about 2 km north of the village of Aghios Nikitas. If you come from Aghios Nikitas village, turn to the left at the "Cafe" sign and park beside the taverna. It is a very long beach split into two sections by rocks over which there is a pathway. There is a taverna - [Milos Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/milos-beach/) - Located just over the hill south of Aghios Nikitas village, this beach is, together with Egremni, absolutely the best nudist beach on Lefkas (though it must be said many reports say exactly this about different Lefkas beaches). The sand is excellent although composed of fairly sizeable grains, and there is sand also on the sea - [Kathisma](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kathisma/) - This is a very long beach with several coves located south of Milos beach. If you want to be alone in your own cove this might be your choice. The sand is rather coarse and there is a lot of shingle. The beach can be reached from both ends. To reach the northern end turn - [Gaidaros](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/gaidaros/) - In April and May 2019, Barefoot correspondents walked the coast from Kathisma beach 38°46'47.8"N 20°36'03.7"E" to Avali (Kalamitsi) beach 38°45'33.8"N 20°35'34.2"E and found a wonderful naturist beach between the two aforementioned beaches. Situated 1km northwest of the village of Kalamitsi, the beach is identified in many tourist guides as Gaidaros. It is quite possible some of the reports previously listed, - [Kalamitsi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kalamitsi/) - Traditional and unspoilt, Kalamitsi is one of the oldest villages in Lefkas. More info here Within a few kilometres of the village, on the west coast, are three beaches, two naturist friendly and one perhaps not. In previous Barefoot reports, and some tourist guides, they are sometimes individually or collectively known as Kalamitsi Beach but in fact - [Avali](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/avali/) - In a straight line Avali is only 1km west of the village of Kalamitsi. However, by road it is 5km and furthest away of the three Kalamitsi beaches. The winding road is narrow and steep in places and perhaps because of this Avali beach is relatively quiet. Out of season likely to be deserted. There - [Kavalikefta](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kavalikefta/) - Experience from June 2011: Do not stay at the textile beach just below the cantina. The nude part of the beach [Megali Petra] is located to the left (south) across the rocky ground. You have to walk by a barely visible footpath about 200 metres through the rocks, so you will need good shoes. But you will be - [Megali Petra](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/megali-petra/) - Further south after the big fallen rock is Megali Petra (big stone in Greek). You can go there following a path, 300m long before the last turn of Megali Petra road - not easy if you wear sandals.

You reach it from the village Athani by a winding way down that leads to the northern end of the beach. Nudism is practised on the southern part of the beach which is also the best. Here long nude walks are possible although - [Egremni](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/egremni/) - This too is a beautiful large beach with excellent sand under impressive (and crumbling) cliffs. From the parking area take a 50 metre path to a cantina. From there the stair begins all the way down to the beach, allegedly 430 steps. It's easy to go down (though the last part is not for anyone - [Porto Katsiki](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/porto-katsiki/) - 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. - [Ellomeni](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/ellomeni/) - A contributor who visited the island's eastern coast in September 2016 sent a report about a pebbly beach he found on the small peninsula south of Nydri.

You go past the first (textile) beach which is quite long, then past a small second beach (usually textile but not always) that requires a steep climb down - [Pnigmenos Beach - Telendos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/pnigmenos-beach/) - Taking the boat from Myrties on Kalymnos to Telendos, and walking to the left along the coast, taking the path up through the area with trees, and going down to the other side of the island - leads to a small beach with no umbrellas, but two trees providing shade. Barefoot reporters went to this - [Hochlakas - Telendos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/hochlakas/) - This is further north of Pnigmenos Beach, beyond the chapel. This beach over the hill (Hoklakas - turn left at the jetty, go through the village then walk over the hill) is definitely NOT nude although it is a nice beach. There is a faded sign to say no nudes! [location-weather id="4235"] - [Myrties - Kalymnos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/myrties-kalymnos/) - This is the small beach North of the jetty where the ferries depart to Telendos. 2021 October: The area among the rocks by the headland at the North end was being used for discreet naturism. [location-weather id="4234"] - [Emborios - Kalymnos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/emborios-kalymnos/) - Emborios itself is a lovely end-of-the-road sort of place. Five tavernas, one shop and a few rooms and that's it. [location-weather id="4232"] The town beach (sand and shingle) is textile only. Take the road north [?west] past the church and you'll climb up and over the first headland and down into the next bay. According - [Alexi - Kalymnos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/alexi-kalymnos/) - 2017 September: the beach to the west of the isthmus is shown as Alexis on Google maps and looked like it was used for gravel extraction. We did not visit this side due to strong winds. The eastern beach, as described above is rather scruffy and dirty, both in and out of the water. One couple - [Good Well beach - Kalymnos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/good-well-beach-kalymnos/) - Between Alexi and Apitaki it is possible to climb down to another little beach [the aerial views show that there are actually four - but accessibility by land is uncertain. Good Well seems to be the biggest - Second from the top (North) end]. 2019 September: Before reaching Apitiki the path crosses a dry river bed. - [Apitiki (Goat beach) - Kalymnos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/apitiki-goat-beach-kalymnos/) - You can drive to Alexi in car and then walk North towards Apitiki. 2019 September: Take the track opposite the ruin, down to the dump, then a vague path upwards across a couple of low ridges, leads to a reasonable horizontal track parallel to the coast. Apitiki is obvious when you reach it. This is almost - [Sikati/Vyzotos - Kalymnos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/sikati-vyzotos-kalymnos/) - Now named as Vyzotos beach on Google maps. Challenging to reach but well worthwhile, if you like spectacular isolated beaches, one of the best on the island!

There is a path from the beach to - [Paralia Potami](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/paralia-potami/) - Report by Shehulk from July 2016: Me and my husband found this secluded beach located in a crack between cliffs. It was perfect for bathing nude if you want to be by yourselves. The dirt road here is fairly good, it takes only 10-12 minutes to drive from Pigadia, was not an issue for our compact car. - [Amopi / Ammopi / Amoopi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/amopi-ammopi-amoopi/) - When you drive from the main road down to the coast, you turn right at the signpost for "Lakki Beach hotel".

After less than 1km - [Diakoftis](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/diakoftis/) - 2016 July: Report by shehulk: Me and my husband had tried to visit all the nudist beaches on Karpathos listed on this page.

From Spoa, take the road to Olimbos (it was under construction when this report came in during August 2006, but can be used with some caution) and after 10.8 km follow the signs for Aghia Minas. After nearly 1 km follow the sign for Agnontia (on the right). - [Ag Nikolaos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/ag-nikolaos-2/) - Bored Pacianga in the Forum reports in 2018:We visited also Agios Nikolaos.

The beach itself is always very crowded by textiles, that arrive with cars and boat trips - [Kato Lakos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kato-lakos/) - Barefooters who reported in August 2006 thought this the best beach on Karpathos. It’s on the east coast (sheltered from Meltemi). From Pigadia, take the road to Kira Panaghia. When you leave the main road, drive down to the sea for 3.1 km and on the right you’ll find a dirt road (1.8 km) that goes to the beach. The - [Magic/Exotic Beach (Polemi)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/magic-exotic-beach-polemi/) - This is the first beach you come to heading west from the airport towards Kefalos, and there is a large ‘Magic Beach’ sign.

This is really a lovely beach, but constantly has a on-shore breeze. It is an excellent sandy beach. It does have some seaweed, but - [Tingaki / Tigaki Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/tingaki-tigaki-beach/) - The Captain has been receiving reports about this beach since the site began, and some reports give accounts of visits in the early 1990s. Tingaki is easily Kos's most popular nudist beach owning to the fact that it is within walking distance of the popular resort of Tingaki and only a short commute from Kos - [Lambi / Lampi Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/lambi-lampi-beach/) - 1999 Otober: A correspondent visited the beach just north of Kos town.

The beach whilst not officially nude, was quiet and mostly nude on the 5 times we visited from 11am - [Helena / Elena Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/helena-elena-beach/) - A lovely little pebbled cove west of Lipsi town. Very quiet. The beach is only capable of accommodating about 12 people with room to spare. Head out of Lipsi town past Lendou (the town beach) stay on the road that runs around the bay for 5-10 minutes. Fork off left onto the track behind Kambos - [Lipsi - other options](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/lipsi-other-options/) - The Cap'n would appreciate some more detailed photos and reports about this island, should anyone be passing! There are other possible beaches. A local leaflet gives details of 8 walks to bays! We tried Katsadia but most coves were small and not suitable or textile on that day, but we eventually found a spot that did for - [Nissiros - general information](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/nissiros-general-information/) - The Cap'n would appreciate some more detailed photos and reports about this island, should anyone be passing! From a distance, this small island just to the south of Kos looks just like a volcanic cone jutting out of the sea. And, indeed, that is more or less exactly what it is. Here it is on Google - [Diakofti](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/diakofti/) - There is a substantial west-facing pebble beach with scattered trees at Diakofti, but with a road along the back it's unsuitable. However there's an alternative, on the east coast, well north of the boatyard and harbour. [location-weather id="4151"] 1998 September: A correspondent who visited the island gives the following directions on how to reach this - [Faliraki](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/faliraki/) - The nudist beach is at the southern end of the town, 3km from the centre of Faliraki. Access by road is achieved by turning left (from the north) or right (from the south) at the traffic lights by Blends Coffee shop & Asda . After taking the left of two forks at the traffic lights, - [Tsambika](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/tsambika/) - A very popular textile beach overlooked by a magnificent peak. As you approach the mass of sunbeds, shops and restaurants, there is a message scrawled on the back of one 'Naturist beach at the end'. The whole beach is about 1km long; you can drive to within 100m of the southern end where a walk - [Pefkos (Coralli)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/pefkos-coralli/) - Coralli Beach, Google maps calls it Axiotheaton beach after the name of apartments. Deserted sandy beach with no facilities, a few walkers came by. No problems. I think most people do not want to walk more than 5 mins. along the beach, so they just settle on the beach below the Coralli. [location-weather id="4136"] 2022 - [Agios Georgios](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agios-georgios-2/) - 2019 September: Agios Georgios is a beautiful beach that is almost completely deserted. During our visit there was not a person to be seen for almost the entire day. There are also no tavernas or other facilities so be sure to take plenty of food and water. The beach is surrounded by hills and bushes - [Limni Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/limni-beach-2/) - This sandy beach is between Apolakkia & Katavia. There are limited facilities; Car parking & a changing hut. Descend the steps to the beach & walk to the right for about 10 minutes & you will be out of sight of most people. From there on it's possible to walk for many kilometres in the - [Apolakkia area](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/apolakkia-area/) - Miles of deserted, predominantly sandy beaches are to be found here. My contributors tended to head for the beaches to the north of Apolakkia. It is possible to walk for miles nude on this stretch of coastline - solitude is virtually guaranteed although they did come across other naturists here. However, this side of the - [Paralia Ataviros](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/paralia-ataviros/) - When you are driving from Monolithos to Cape Fourni Beach you have to turn right at a small roadside kandylakia. A few metres later follow the dirt track to the left. The way now gets very steep and rough. With an 4x4 this was not a big deal, but if you are driving a normal car you - [Nanoy beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/nanoy-beach/) - Nanoy (or Nanou) beach is shingle, with a taverna nearer one end (superb food) and sunbeds & umbrellas. The farthest end of the beach from where you get off the taxi boat from Symi harbour is nudist. Although the taxi boat isn't cheap; it's the nicest way of getting there. It can be walked, and - [Nos beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/nos-beach/) - Our correspondent didn't discover a specific beach around this headland, but rather an interesting and rocky scramble where quite a lot of people chose to be nude in and/or out of the water. He felt that some spots along here were too visible from the public footpath above that serves the headland and is one - [Aiyos Vasilios](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/aiyos-vasilios/) - Two hour walk across island to side less frequented by boats, followed by steep climb down to wide beach, proved ideal for nude swimming and sunbathing, and only four others on beach that day. Mostly pebbles, a little sand, no shade. No taverna: take plenty of water. Enough room for different tastes, but you have - [Marathunda](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/marathunda/) - Accessible by truck or boat. Habitation close to shore. No nudity, unless you count climbing over a headland and swimming/snorkelling nude until rejoining the boat. [location-weather id="4120"] - [Agios Giorgios](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agios-giorgios/) - Forget about walking there - take one of the many taxiboats from Symi harbour. No facilities, little shade, but sun leaves mid-afternoon because of the sheer cliffs surrounding the beach. Bring water and food! 3 visits there - one other couple there nude at the beach farthest away from where you get off the taxiboat. - [Tolí Bay](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/toli-bay/) - North-East coast. In bird's-eye view straight line West of Emborio. You can go there by scooter or by car. Keep right when going uphill a few km after leaving Horió. Road is in good condition - keep your eyes open for a footpath leading down to the left of the road. My contributors found it, - [Agios Marina and Agios Nikólaos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agios-marina-and-agios-nikolaos/) - NO nudity at all here! Very organized beaches with tavernas, sunbeds and umbrellas (and bikinis all over). Avoid! 2012 September: agreed - no nudity possible. Agios Marina is a man-made "beach". Nikolaos is sandy but packed with sunbeds and umbrellas. Neither are very large. 2021 September: No different, no nudity [location-weather id="4114"] - [Emilianos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/emilianos/) - Late September 2021 - The beach in the photo is only accessible by boat or walking 6 Km from the road each way (you need a car or scooter to get to the start of the walk). I opted for the walk which was lovely. Generally the walk was well defined but don't expect to meet people, - [Eristos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/eristos/) - A long (over 1km) sand/pebble beach easily accessible by a regular bus service. Turn left and go down the track behind the beach for about 300m, then go on to the beach. This is about 4/500m long and even during August was not crowded - generally 50m between groups/couples. Go to the far end of - [Plaka](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/plaka-2/) - Plaka beach has a dedicated nudist section on the left, according to reports from 2003. At NW end of island. No bus service to Plaka, although it is possible to get the bus to Agios Antonios and walk from there along the road. Alternatively, get the island's only taxi or hire a car from Livadia (35 euros - [Red Beach and Lethra](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/red-beach-and-lethra/) - Fine for naturism in early August 2003. Lethra was 95% nude. A "tourist boat" visits both beaches on an irregular basis, but there is plenty of space for naturists and those who prefer to wear a costume. [location-weather id="4106"] - [Trafoulas / Trahulas (Τραφουλας) aka Psili Ammos, aka Dragon Bay](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/trafoulas-trahulas-τραφουλας-aka-psili-ammos-aka-dragon-bay/) - Barefoot reporters tell me about a beach situated east of Lentas. On explorecrete.com it's also referred to as Psili Ammos. Other web searches suggest the alternative spellings Trafoulas and Trahulas. Apparently it is also known as Dragon Bay. It is inset into the seaward end of Cape Trafoulas, so not large. It is accessible from the villages - [Aris Petrakis (Αρης Πετρακης)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/aris-petrakis-αρης-πετρακης/) - The Captain hears reports of a deserted beach just to the East of Lentas, secluded by rocks. Take the dirt track east out of Lentas for about 1 kilometre and there is a sign pointing right to Anatoli. After 500 metres park at the car park for the two tavernas. The beach starts in front - [Diskos / Dytiko (Δυτικο)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/diskos-dytiko-δυτικο/) - I am told that this beach is one of the most "traditional" naturist beaches in Crete. Until a few years back there were a lot of hippies that went nude even to the tavernas of the area. This beach is named Diskos and I think that with this name it is signed on most maps, - [Kali Limenes (Καλοι Λιμενες)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kali-limenes-καλοι-λιμενες/) - Reports reach the Captain of a nudist beach in Kali Limenes, best reached by road from Mires. My contributor says it is a lovely, long, white-coloured beach, one of the nicest beaches he has found in Crete. The village itself is small and tranquil, with just a few houses and fishing boats. [location-weather id="4098"] 2006 - [Agiofarago (Αγιοφάραγγο)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agiofarago-αγιοφάραγγο/) - The gorge of Agiofarago starts from the road from Odigitria Monastery to Kali Limenes on the south coast of Iraklion and ends at the sea, west of Kali Limenes. Drive to Moni Odigitrias via Siva and Listaros. Although most maps shows road from Listados to Moni Odigitrias as unpaved, now it is good asphalted road. - [Matala (Ματαλα)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/matala-ματαλα/) - This has a famous beach right in the centre with a picturesque cliff face honeycombed with caves once inhabited by hippies. It is not used by naturists. The Captain called here for lunch during September 1988 and formed the view that there were quite a lot of hippies still present, although they're now mostly in - [The Red Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/the-red-beach/) - The Red Beach is superb for nudists. It was the only Greek location featured on "The World's Best Nude Beaches" on the Sky Travel TV channel. [location-weather id="4092"] 1996: However, another correspondent described the Red Beach as a clothing optional beach where he and his girlfriend didn't feel comfortable. There is an umbrella rental business. - [Kommos (Κομμος) aka Komos / Como / Comos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kommos-κομμος-aka-komos-como-comos/) - My correspondents are ecstatic about a beach called Komos about 5 km to the north of Matala near Pitsidia. On the strength of these recommendations the Captain himself paid a short visit there in late September 1998. I can only agree with those who enthused about this beach. It is a very lengthy stretch of golden sand. - [Agia Galini (Αγια Γαληνη)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agia-galini-αγια-γαληνη/) - Captain's rating: 30% Now a busy resort struggling to retain its charm against the weight of tourism. The main beach is of coarse sand, fronted by tavernas and often crowded. The naturist beach used to be reached by fording the river at the end of the main beach; however a bridge has now been built - [Agios Pavlos (Αγιος Παυλος)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agios-pavlos-αγιος-παυλος/) - Reached from a side road off the Spili to Agios Galini main road. The side road passes through the villages of Ano and Kato Saktouria and is now tarmac all the way. The nudist beach is over a headland to the west of the main beach. There are two bays that you can get down - [Triopetra (Τριοπετρα)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/triopetra-τριοπετρα/) - This beach is sandy, with clean water, no wind, and almost no people: in 3 days our contributors saw only 3 other people, all of them naked, and they rated it the most beautiful beach (of many) they found anywhere on Crete. They drove back through Ag. Paraskevi and Kerames to Spili, but it’s a - [Ligres (Λιγρες)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/ligres-λιγρες/) - Ligres beach is accessible by a good road (follow sign from Kerames to "LIGRES" and "Best Beach" - straight ahead at the junction in Kerames). An idyllic part of the coast which cannot long remain undeveloped. Take advantage of it whilst you can. [location-weather id="4080"] 1999 September: The Captain took this advice. There had clearly - [Agia Fotini (Αγια Φωτεινη)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agia-fotini-αγια-φωτεινη/) - 1998: A report says this is still a totally deserted sand and pebble beach. However carry on walking beyond this around the small headland to find first beautiful, sandy beach, some 75 yards wide backed by huge sand dunes and green hillside. The beach is about 100 yards long with clean sand and continues past - [Drimiskianos (Δρυμισκιανος)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/drimiskianos-δρυμισκιανος/) - Drimiskianos is a pleasant beach with alternating sand or pebbles; it's also fairly empty and you don't have to walk more than 200m along the beach before picking a spot for nude sunbathing and swimming. It is very empty and over 1 mile long, and its eastern end (away from Palm Beach) seems ripe for - [Preveli (Πρεβελης)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/preveli-πρεβελης/) - Preveli Beach it widely featured on picture postcards and is undoubtedly very scenic, as a beach which comprises a river mouth. Earlier reports indicated a naturist character, with "a lot of anatomy on display". However, Preveli is now totally commercialised with umbrellas and tavernas. The beach is small and covered with sunbeds and umbrellas. Walking - [Skinaria (Σχοιναρια)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/skinaria-σχοιναρια/) - This very scenic beach is reached via a fairly long but satisfactory road from Lefkogia. Skinaria Beach Hotel, set back from the beach, appeared to be abandoned in September 1988. A shame, because it looked as if it was once a very nice hotel and did not overlook the beach. A brand new Taverna (the Libyan Star) - [Amoudi (Αμμουδιου)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/amoudi-αμμουδιου/) - Marked by yellow patch on the map which corresponds to Amoudi and Damnoni but is unlabelled. It is reached by a road (signpost Amoudi Beach Hotel) between Lefkogia and Damnoni. The hotel is set back from the beach. During September 1998 naturists were present early in the morning but by lunchtime the beach was mostly textile. An - [Mikro Amoudi / Amoudaki (Αμμουδακι)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/mikro-amoudi-amoudaki-αμμουδακι/) - Formerly the best nude beach on Southern Crete - is over and out. Now with a big parking-lot at the back and only very few naturists, it is extremely crowded. You're laying on the beach shoulder by shoulder. It is 20 percent nude. [This report from September 2014 is left in this prominent position as a pro tempore warning. - [Damnoni (Δαμνονι)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/damnoni-δαμνονι/) - From the east of Plakias beach it is possible to follow a path to Damnoni (about half an hour's walk) - the path starts behind the Plakias Bay hotel (this is the roughest part) and is waymarked by red spots and arrows on stones. An easier access by car is to take the road from - [Kalypso](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kalypso/) - The Captain still receives occasional enquiries about Kalypso. Unfortunately the sad news is that Kalypso is no longer available for naturists. It is difficult to imagine that this relatively old-fashioned and isolated hotel without a beach is that attractive if it were not for its rather unique status as a nudist destination. There are many - [Plakias (Πλακιας)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/plakias-πλακιας/) - Captain's rating: 97% Plakias has a very friendly community, and repeated visits have led the Captain to develop a real affection for the place and its people. And it is surrounded by wonderful scenery and some of the best beaches the Captain has had the pleasure to visit are in the vicinity. It's well signposted and - [Souda (Σουδα)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/souda-σουδα/) - There are two tavernas here. Although a part of the big sweep of Plakias Bay the western end called Souda Bay is a definitely separate section. There is now a good road from Plakias, about 4km from the centre of Plakias to the tavernas at the Western end of Souda. It is possible to walk - [Plakias Bay Hotel](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/plakias-bay-hotel/) - The Plakias Bay hotel situated at the end of the beach 600m away from the centre of Plakias offers a relaxing view to the endless blue of the sea and the surrounding mountain villages. Just 50m away you will feel embraced by the blue sea and the golden sand of the beach. After a ten-minute - [Rodakinon (Ροδακινο) aka Koraka](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/rodakinon-ροδακινο-aka-koraka/) - Accessible from the (main) road between Plakias and Hora Sfakion at a turn off in Kato Rodakinon. This access in GPS WGS-84 coordinates: N35 12' 01.5" E24 19' 03.4". We found two rather separate sections. The first was a not very attractive shingle beach with a prominent "No nudism" sign; the second a sandy beach with - [Agia Marina (Αγια Μαρινα) aka Peristeres](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agia-marina-αγια-μαρινα-aka-peristeres/) - The church of Ag.Marina is at the east end of the bay and has some Byzantine frescoes (although destroyed to some length). In all of these sections of the beach, people go naked although during high season (around 15 August) there are quite a few local people who go dressed. During this period, the first - [Frangokastello (Φραγγοκαστελο)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/frangokastello-φραγγοκαστελο/) - The old fort of Frangokastelli lies on the south coast of Crete, not far from the towns of Chora Sfakion and Plakias. In this part of Crete, the coast is mostly an abrupt boundary for the mountains, but for several miles east of Chora Sfakion there is a gently undulating strip of land anything up - [Kritama (Παραλία Κρίταμα)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kritama-παραλία-κρίταμα/) - While spending time on Orthi Ammos beach, contributors who visited in October 2016 were intrigued by walkers that occasionally ventured over the rocks at the eastern end of the beach. Most returned within minutes, at first leading them to believe the rocks were impassable. However, on one occasion, a couple walking their dog and obviously having some - [Lakki](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/lakki/) - Reports reach me of another suitable beach further east of Frangokastello. The beach is immaculately clean and mostly extremely fine gravel: comfortable for walking barefoot, yet the stuff doesn't lodge everywhere like sand does. It slopes quite gently, so it's also safe for paddling, though both the beach and the entry to the water are - [Sweetwater Bay, Chora Sfakion (Χώρα Σφακιά)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/sweetwater-bay-chora-sfakion-χώρα-σφακιά/) - Sweetwater bay is located between Loutro and Chora Sfakion. Glikanera is the Greek word for sweetwater. It is well worth visiting The beach itself is of pebble stones which are a rather difficult walk in bare feet. However, it is entirely naturist. There are several sweetwater holes, but these are for drinking, NOT washing. You will - [Marmara (Μαρμαρα)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/marmara-μαρμαρα/) - My contributor spent four days in Loutro in April 2000. One day they walked the 45 minute walk westwards to Marmara Beach. This is a beautiful little beach of fine pebbles surrounded by marble cliffs situated where the Aradena Gorge reaches the sea. When they got there, there was just one other person there, nude, so - [Sarakiniko](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/sarakiniko-3/) - 2011 August: This Barefooter spent 10 days on Gavdos and loved every minute. All the beaches mentioned above are very good but I am surprised nothing has been reported about Sarakiniko. This is the beach between the port and Ag. Ioannis and I think the first stop of the bus from the port. It has - [Ag. Ioannis](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/ag-ioannis-2/) - This is on the north side of Gavdos, facing Crete. Board the community bus from the tiny port to Ag. Ioannis (roughly once every hour). The bus passes from Sarakiniko beach (see above) and continues on a gravel road until it reaches a taverna/mini-market. This is the campers’ sole source of water, food and supplies. - [Lavrakas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/lavrakas/) - This is to the west of Ag. Ioannis. 2010 August: a second well had been constructed closer to the sea. This one has an open end, which allows people to easily get fresh water and shower. My correspondent left Ag. Ioannis when the crowds hit that beach (early August) and went to Lavrakas. Needless to - [Pyrgos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/pyrgos/) - If you follow the coast line from Lavrakas further to the West, you will find another small, totally deserted sandy beach. It is a 30 min hike from Ag. Ioannis which can also be done in the nude. 2020 Aug: nude proportion on Pyrgos 95%. [location-weather id="4037"] - [Potamos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/potamos/) - This may be the most beautiful beach on Gavdos. Huge sandy beach, a few tents (4 in September 2006) under cedar trees, amazing canyons on the back worth exploring. 100% naturist, with no more than 10 people spread in this 500m beach, practically deserted. No facilities at all, of course. Ιn the canyon there is still - [Tripiti](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/tripiti/) - Tripiti cape is the most southerly point in Gavdos and is claimed to be the most southerly point of Europe as well. The beach has large pebbles and is definitely not the best one in Gavdos, but it is quiet, as not many people go there, and the setting is wonderful. There are absolutely no - [Gavrion](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/gavrion/) - Gavrion is the main Port, with the sun setting behind the mountains early, this made it seem quite dark and grim when we arrived early evening. Gavrion is generally given the thumbs down but as we often went through it en route to other destinations we grew to appreciate some of the many tavernas where we would - [Batsi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/batsi/) - Batsi is generally the only tourist resort for UK packages, it is small and still fairly quaint with lots of rooms and tavernas for the summer season. In mid-September we found Batsi to be very quiet indeed, with places already starting to close up until next season. Batsi beach is convenient but not particularly quiet - [Delavoyas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/delavoyas/) - This is still the main recognised nudist beach. Everybody seems to have heard of it in Batsi. It's not on the Toubi's map. There is a small bar at the beach if you need a drink or some Cap'n Barefoot sunning shade. Well this beach isn't particularly big so you need to get there early - [Kutsi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kutsi/) - Further south, Paralia Kutsi is a long pebble beach opening to the West. It can be reached with a long footpath from the main road (Andros - Gavrio) or by car from a turnoff from the same road. 2024 August: the area remains 100% nudist, with six people total in an afternoon. [location-weather id="4025"] - [Southern Andros](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/southern-andros/) - From the Cap'n. If anyone can flesh these beaches out with information, grid references and photos, please do so [location-weather id="4023"] A kind Greek contributor tells the Captain there are four completely secluded beaches to the southern parts of Andros. Many of these beaches aren't even mentioned on the maps. There are dirt roads to - [Korthi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/korthi/) - Quite a way from Batsi (30km). My intrepid reporters hired a scooter and it took them about 35 to 50 minutes. From Korthi, go left around the bay, up a short dirt track to a church and half a windmill, and park the bike here (there's not enough room for cars). Walk round the back - [To pidima tis grias (previously described here as "Melissa beach")](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/to-pidima-tis-grias-previously-described-here-as-melissa-beach/) - Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, says my contributor: this must be a 'perfect' beach by any standards. But unfortunately recent reports say this is not a nudist beach any more; a report from June 2006 confirming lots of young Greek families and no chance of naturism whatsoever, and another from September 2007 confirming its textile character. [location-weather id="4020"] Whether nude or - [Achla](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/achla/) - North of Andros Town on on the east coast. Superb wide white pebble/sand beach, with a church and small stream at one end and rocks for shade at the other. 2007 June: it was deserted - long rough track to reach it - best by hire boat from Town (30 mins) - can sail nude - [Agios Nikolaos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agios-nikolaos/) - This is the main nudist beach on the island. Nudism appears to be officially accepted as the signs here say "Camping is not allowed" whereas on some other beaches they say "Nudism and Camping is not allowed". The proportion of nudists varied a lot from day to day. This is partly due to the beach - [Vitsetzou & Pountaki](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/vitsetzou-pountaki/) - From the port, Karavostassis, walk 850m south to a sign post to Vitsetzou and then walk down a short reasonable path to two sandy coves, one called Vitsetzou and the other Pountaki. These were used by 10 nudists on the day my contributors were there at the end of May 2001. These coves are exposed to - [Livadi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/livadi-3/) - In May 2001 this main beach 1.2 km south of Karavostassis was deserted and we felt quite comfortable using it but in peak season it is probably all textile. It is just a little bit further along the road from Vitsetzou. More recent reports (2004) question whether this is a suitable place for nudism. For much of its - [Vorina](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/vorina/) - This is based on a report from September 2005. Vorina is a beach on the north side of Folegandros approximately halfway between Chora and the turn that leads to Angali. From Chora head to Angali, go past the windmills on your right hand side, (Vorina bay is just below the windmills - to their north) a - [Koumbara](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/koumbara/) - A correspondent notes a small, unremarkable beach on the other side of the port from Milopotas beach. To get there from the town, face the water and head to the right, heading away from the mob. Head up the hill, over the headland and it's the first beach you come to. It is a reasonable - [Valmas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/valmas/) - This little beach tends to get rather-unfairly overlooked, but is very handy for Port Ios, being within 20 minutes' easy walk, past the church on the left headland. There is a long-standing taverna which supplies free fixed parasols (3) and loungers (15) regardless of actual custom - so long as you put the latter away! - [Kolitsani](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kolitsani/) - Probably the best bet for a real nudist beach, though reports vary and there seems to be significantly less naturism here in high season. Those who have visited it out of season seem to love it, however. It is in a small cove on the headland between the port and Mylopotas. Along the way to - [Mylopotas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/mylopotas/) - This beach can no longer be recommended. It is a fairly big beach just south of town. It has a few camping grounds and tavernas. Frewin Poffley's Independent Traveller's Greek Island Hopping says that the building of a new road has destroyed nudism there. Two big camping sites, one of them with a bungee jumping - [Manganari / Magganari](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/manganari-magganari/) - This is a report from another Australian correspondent who visited Ios in June 1994: it should probably be archived but is kept for its amusement value and as a reminder of how far things have developed since then. I took a moped to Manganari beach on the southern end which the The Rough Guide (Europe) had - [Never Bay](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/never-bay/) - Just before reaching the southern Manganari beach, take the small bumpy path (ATV recommended) towards south-east. You can park at the top of the cliff and need to climb 15 minutes down to the cove (quite steep). [location-weather id="3948"] 2021 August: several boat tours stopped at Never Bay during the day. In between and in the - [Tris Klissies](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/tris-klissies/) - Just before you reach Manganari by the fork in the tarmac road there is a small white church. Leave your vehicle at the opening opposite the church, cross over and follow a steep dirt road down which bends to the left. There's a sign 'follow path to the beach' and the "path" is well marked - [Aghios Theodotis](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/aghios-theodotis/) - From Chora, follow the signs to Ag Theodotis. In June 2010, there was no bus service, so you need your own transport. There are two tavernas on the right-hand-side of the road leading down to the beach, and on the beach four batches of parasols/umbrellas for rent. When my correspondents visited in June 2010, they were - [Ano Koufonissi - general information](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/ano-koufonissi-general-information/) - About 1 mile from Koufonissi village is Charakopou camping site and 4 beaches (Charakopou, Fanos, Platia Punta and Pori). Past reports suggested that within the next mile they increased from 20% to 50% nudist; however a report of a visit in June 2000 remarked on no nudists on the first three beaches and 20-50% on Platia Punta - [Platia Punta / Italida - Ano Koufonissi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/platia-punta-italida-ano-koufonissi/) - Lovely sandy beach, south facing and therefore affording a bit of shelter from the Meltemi if it is blowing. Wonderful swimming in clear water reminiscent of Laggeri on Paros. A de facto CO beach, busy even in June, with the percentage of naturists varying from 50% in the morning to about 25% mid-afternoon, and back to 50% towards - [Pori - Ano Koufonissi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/pori-ano-koufonissi/) - A new hotel and other buildings behind this beach apparently now limit the opportunities to be nude here. Up to date reports of the situation would be welcome. The reports below should be read in that context. It's a lovely coastal walk to this beach from Platia Punta, with various coves on the way, a - [Nero Beach - Kato Koufonissi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/nero-beach-kato-koufonissi/) - On Kato Koufonissi, Nero beach is a long beach of grey sand with pebbles of a huge variety of colours along the shoreline. It is surrounded by cliffs and there were a few wild campers. As you have to go by boat from Ano Koufonissi to get there, there is plenty of space, little shade - [Pezoúlia Beach - Kato Koufonissi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/pezoulia-beach-kato-koufonissi/) - [location-weather id="3936"] 2021 July: Mixed crowd, no issues. Beautiful sandy and pebbled beach. No facilities or natural shade (keep an eye on your belongings since the goats are not afraid to stick their heads in the bags if they smell like food). 2023 June: No-one on the beach, but a yacht had anchored close to - [Skylos beach (Dog beach)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/skylos-beach-dog-beach/) - [location-weather id="3934"] The Captain is grateful to the first reporters, who visited in September 2019: "Me and my partner have found Skylos Beach, known as the main nude beach on the island. Tourist season was over and only 2 other couples on the beach. You need a car to get from the port (Mericha) to the - [Papikinou](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/papikinou/) - [location-weather id="3932"] This is the main town beach close east of Adamas and backed by the main road to the south of the island. It is sandy and shallow, with plenty of trees for shade and a few bushes further along before the boatyard. There has been a report in the forum of nudist use - [Achivadolimni / Mavra Gremna](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/achivadolimni-mavra-gremna/) - [location-weather id="3930"] Achivadolimni and Mavra Gremna are two contiguous sandy beaches facing north in the bay of Milos, just west of the camp site and the road junction for Provatas and Fyriplaka. From the town you come to Mavra Gremna first, 800m after the Airport Junction, and before the camping. Achivadolimni is trendy, while Mavra - [Triades & Ammoudaraki](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/triades-ammoudaraki/) - [location-weather id="3928"] If you have time to spend and you stay in Milos more than 3-4 days you should visit these beaches. We rate them 100% although it needs time. These photos are from 1st and 3rd (officially nudist) beaches: These are among the best in Milos. 7 beautiful beaches, some just for you. On - [Agios Ioannis](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agios-ioannis/) - [location-weather id="3926"] Three beaches on the south-western coast. A real adventure to get there, and no help if your car breaks down: this is the far edge of the world.. be very careful if you go here by car after rainfall because there is some bentonite/caolite outcrops that turn the final and steep path to - [Gerontas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/gerontas/) - [location-weather id="3924"] At Gerontas, which is another difficult drive, my contributors were the first to arrive at 10am but were joined by 1pm by over ten different Greek couples who remained in bathing suits. 2013 August: Crowded in the high season, so only clothed. - [Katergo](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/katergo-2/) - [location-weather id="3922"] Rather messy to get there, but worth the scenery and the underwater beauty. Very crowded (and thus dressed) during mid-summer, but nudism is possible between the rocks. My correspondent rates this beach 70%. - [Provatas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/provatas/) - [location-weather id="3920"] In the south of the Island, well served by bus from Adamas in the Summer. There are three lovely beaches, the first near hotels is mostly clothed, but the other, below where the bus terminates at the church of Aghios Nikolais, is wonderful and mostly nude; the third one is under Giourgas Apartments, - [Fyriplaka](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/fyriplaka/) - [location-weather id="3918"] Crystal clear waters and a very impressive landscape. The rocks behind the different beaches are awesome, very bright and white! The road is not as bumpy as it was, as most of it has been paved recently. And an ugly factory stands 2km before the beach - don't be misled, it is the - [Agia Kyriaki & Psarovolada](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agia-kyriaki-psarovolada/) - [location-weather id="3916"] Agia Kyriaki itself is not suitable for nudism any more, thanks to the trendy (=noisy) beach bar. However, there is a footpath on the left (east) of the beach. You can walk along the rocks that separate Agia Kyriaki beach from the next beach, which is out of sight. You have to be - [Paliochori](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/paliochori/) - [location-weather id="3914"] The Captain has received various reports about this beach but has not yet been there himself, so this has been re-compiled from the more recent reports. There is a bus service 6 times daily (2010 - three trips out and back) or you can go by car - all tarmac. In season you may - [Thiafes (Thiorychia)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/thiafes-thiorychia/) - [location-weather id="3911"] A very popular place, the abandoned Sulphur Quarries. The beach is small, and not very nudist in the middle of the summer, but in June/September it can be. Tricky to get there (ask for directions several times) and the road is somewhat dangerous at the end before final descent to the beach. Don' - [Voudia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/voudia/) - [location-weather id="3909"] When you reach Voudia, after you reach the entrance to the factory, continue for a little while, until you find a small road in bad condition that will take you to the beach. It will not be very nice while you are close to the mine site, but as you walk down the - [Kastanas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kastanas/) - [location-weather id="3908"] Quite tricky to get there but really worth the trip! As stated in a report from August 2013 there are 3 small beaches with few people. As often happens, the first one sets the trend, as confirmed in 2018. The beauty of these 3 coves is overwhelming! The south and central beaches are mainly pebbly with little - [Aghios Konstantinos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/aghios-konstantinos/) - [location-weather id="3906"] 2010 June: A correspondent's favourite, on the North side of the island, reachable with a 5 minute detour from the main paved road. It is rather sheltered, so with the exception of a direct N wind, always calm. It has a nice view of the Glaronissia islands and a small natural lagoon on - [Sarakiniko](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/sarakiniko-4/) - [location-weather id="3905"] This is one of the most iconic landscapes you will ever experience. Take your time to walk along the incredible coastline and let nature surprise you! Not to be missed if you are in the Cyclades! As the beach is on the north coast, avoid when windy (Meltemi from the north can be - [Bombarda & Lagada](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/bombarda-lagada/) - [location-weather id="3903"] Lagada is a pleasant town beach, but right in front of the Lagada Beach Hotel (formerly the Venus Village) and no chance of naturism. Walk straight through. Bombarda, which is less than a mile from Adamas town, appeared from the distance to be a possibility but during my contributor's visit (Sept. 2003) was deserted except for - [Paranga / Paraga](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/paranga-paraga/) - [location-weather id="3901"] A sandy beach between two headlands about 5km from Mykonos town, sounds worth noting. This is the beach between Plati Yialos and Paradise, and one end is at least 50% nudist and is to be highly recommended. It is possible to walk to Paraga from Plati Yialos over the cliffs, it is about - [Paradise Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/paradise-beach-3/) - [location-weather id="3900"] Once one of the most famous nude beaches in the Aegean. You can get there easily by boat from Platy Yialos. It used to be said that nudity was the norm and that anyone wearing a bathing costume looked out of place. Maybe so, once. Not any more. Paradise - of which we - [Super Paradise](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/super-paradise/) - [location-weather id="3899"] Once widely known as "the" gay nudist beach with an "extraordinary" taverna. In the past it seemed to be divided into three areas: the gay part, where everyone was nude, but everyone was male and in couples. Then there was the textile part at the other end near the taverna. In the middle - [Agrari](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agrari/) - [location-weather id="3897"] Fifteen minutes' walk west of Elia along a rocky path is Agrari. Once a clean and nice beach with a tavern this too is now bedecked with sunbeds and brollies. Unlike Elia, however, there is some more substantial clear space - at the end of the path from Elia, and at the far - [Elia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/elia/) - [location-weather id="3895"] I once described this as easily the best naturist beach we found on Mykonos. It is past Super Paradise. You can get there by boat from Platy Yialos but it's easier to take the bus from Mykonos Town (the bus leaves from the stop near the port - not from the centre of - [Kalo Livadi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kalo-livadi/) - [location-weather id="3893"] Large area for textiles, but at the far West end plenty of room for nudists. The nudist end is not widely known (at least not before it appeared on this site) so a relatively small number of nudists was there. 2006: A Barefooter was angry to have to pay 5 euros for a - [Lia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/lia/) - [location-weather id="3891"] This beach is about 14km from Mykonos town towards the East of the island. The road is clearly signposted and you now drive past the Fish Taverna on a newly-built road/track. You can park the car in the car parking area and then you are on the beach. There are no facilities on - [Tsangari](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/tsangari/) - [location-weather id="3889"] A contributor found this beach in the last week of August 2003 when in Mykonos on day trip and desperate to find somewhere for a nude swim after Elia became swamped by textiles mid-afternoon. They drove east to Lia which had good reports previously but beach crowded and exclusively textile so followed part-unmade, part-made road - [Frangia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/frangia/) - [location-weather id="3887"] According to a report from August 2004, if you go on following the coast past Tsangari (the footpath is not clearly marked, just follow the coast) you will arrive at a larger sandy beach, 400m long, almost desert, with only a few brave naturists (brave for having reached the beach, not for being nude!). - [Fokos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/fokos/) - [location-weather id="3885"] If you have rented a bike or a car and wish for absolutely peaceful scenery, you can reach Fokos beach, which is mainly used by couples. The beach beautiful, but shingle. My correspondent visited during June 2001. 100% nude during weekdays, on Saturday it was nude in the morning and 90% textile in the - [Mersini Bay](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/mersini-bay/) - [location-weather id="3883"] One bay west of Fokos. The dirt road going west of Fokos takes you there. Deserted except for one textile family. Pleasant, sandy beach. Ideal if you wish to be alone or just with your own friends. - [Agia Sostis](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agia-sostis/) - [location-weather id="3881"] The Captain hears that two kilometres past Panormos lays Sostis beach, a very beautiful beach. About half the people there were nude, mostly at the end towards the rock. My contributor thinks it a superb beach and rates it 9 out of 10. Apparently for the people who are in the know about - [Kapri / Kapari](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kapri-kapari/) - [location-weather id="3879"] A beautiful beach on the Agios Ioannis peninsula. Some correspondents might be interested that this bay was used for the love scene in Shirley Valentine (That's definitely on my list then - Cap'n Andy). A mixture of nudists and textiles, although on my visits (Sept. 2010) nudists were slightly outnumbered. The rocks offer privacy for - [Lacouna (Laguna)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/lacouna-laguna/) - [location-weather id="3877"] Lacouna is the the south part of the Saint George beach just in front of Naxos Camping. Lacouna is also the best surfing spot on the Island. The Captain received a report of naturist activity here in June 2004. However a report from August/ early September 2006 says there were no naturists - in fact very - [Aghios Prokopios](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/aghios-prokopios/) - [location-weather id="3875"] Immediately north of Aghia Anna, nudists gather towards the north end of the beach. 2000 June: the northern end of the beach was about 60-70 percent naturist. The beach was very clean, but a slippery shelf exists in the water extending roughly ten feet out. Very diverse gender and age group present. 2001 July: - [Aghia Anna](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/aghia-anna/) - [location-weather id="3873"] The bay of Aghia Anna, once a famous nudist beach, is no longer nudist. The beach where some contributors first took the plunge is now, alas, backed by hotels, and the unnoticed track at the back of the beach is now a tarred road with a regular bus service. However, all is not - [Mikri Vigla](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/mikri-vigla/) - [location-weather id="3869"] Just south of Plaka. There are a number of smaller bays on the way, visible from the road, mostly deserted in May 2007, but one nude woman in one of the bays. Nice small sandy beaches within a rocky region, more nudes, nice spots but during high season a lot of textile people who - [Kastraki](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kastraki/) - [location-weather id="3867"] South of Mikri Vigla. There were nude bathers on the beaches on either side of the solitary beach restaurant as well as on the sand immediately below the restaurant, although Kastraki was mainly textile. South of Kastraki before Pyrgaki there are some mainly naturist beaches, below a cliff on which sits what looks - [Kalantos / Kalandos / Kalandhon](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kalantos-kalandos-kalandhon/) - [location-weather id="3863"] Kalantos beach lies in the southern part of Naxos. In July 2005 the road to Kalantos (from Filoti) was under construction and it was quite unpleasant to get there. However the beach is fantastic. Fine sand, wonderful sea, almost empty. It is like in the fairy tale: there's a lake nearby and throughout the day - [Panormos / Panermos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/panormos-panermos/) - [location-weather id="3861"] This beach is located at the very end of the road heading south past Moutsouna and the small "port" where you can take the caique to Koufonissi. In August 2006 it was textile, but there is a very small pebble beach on the left-hand side (having the sea in front of you), where we could - [Psili Ammos (Kanaki)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/psili-ammos-kanaki/) - [location-weather id="3859"] A report from late September 2005 (a quiet time) describes a lovely quiet beach and when my contributors were there (midweek) there were two or three other nudists and a few 'textiles'. 100 metres beyond the south end of the beach there was a wonderful small secluded bay. The photo looks north with the small - [Beach near Moutsouna](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/beach-near-moutsouna/) - [location-weather id="3857"] The official Moutsouna beach is textile and quite boring. However if you drive for about 2 minutes in the western direction, you will find many secluded beaches with almost unbelievable stones. Some of them you can see on the photo. There are some secluded caves in this area where naturism is possible. - [Asala Bay (N of Moutsouna)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/asala-bay-n-of-moutsouna/) - [location-weather id="3855"] There is a small river going to the sea. My intrepid Barefoot reporters followed it: to its right there was a small farm and everything is fenced, up to the sea. This farmer seems to consider that - probably sandy - part of the bay as his property. To the left, one can - [Lionas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/lionas/) - [location-weather id="3853"] Description: Lionas is an almost deserted village in the eastern part of Naxos. The official beach consists of white medium-sized stones. If you turn left and walk for about 5 minutes, there's a fantastic secluded cove with beautiful scenery and sea. - [Agios Mamas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agios-mamas/) - [location-weather id="3851"] A small sandy beach. Although some reports suggest it is now a "family beach", no longer suitable for naturists, a Barefooter who visited in May 2007 found it deserted; what's more the taverna with studios was also deserted. So they were able to enjoy the beach in nature's way. - [Limenari Kiras](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/limenari-kiras/) - [location-weather id="3849"] If you think think Plaka and other well known beaches a bit overcrowded and not so peaceful as expected, Naxos allows plenty of scope for exploration. The Captain receives a report of a rocky secluded beach on the north-western part of Naxos, between Abram and Katsoprino. No road sign, no map indication, only - [Amyti Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/amyti-beach/) - [location-weather id="3847"] The Captain is delighted to receive a report about Amyti beach, about 10-15 kms north of Naxos Town. It is just north of Engares on the west coast. It is a long wide stretch of beach with nice fine sand. The surf was huge the day my contributors visited and it may often - [Lageri / Laggeri / Langeri](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/lageri-laggeri-langeri/) - [location-weather id="3845"] Many of my contributors think this among the best beaches in the Cyclades; one said it was reminiscent of the South Seas, another claimed to be in heaven there. The water is clean, you can walk along the beach. Nudity is 95%. No tavernas, sometimes there is somebody with a cold box containing - [Monastiri Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/monastiri/) - [location-weather id="3844"] For the avoidance of any doubt, the beach usually referred to as Monastiri and recommended for nudism is the one called Tourkou Ammos on the Google Maps aerial view. The beach between Ag Ioannis Detis monastery and the Paros Park Centre and taverna is the origin of the name Monastiri but, due to - [Porto Paros](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/porto-paros/) - [location-weather id="3841"] The Captain has also received a report of a small beach just after the Porto Paros Hotel on the way to Monastiri. If you take the boat to Porto Paros/Aqua Park from Naoussa and walk north 200-300 metres you can find this small beach. When my contributor passed in the end of June - [Kolimbithres / Kolympithres](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kolimbithres-kolympithres/) - [location-weather id="3839"] About 400 metres south of the landing-stage at Kolimbithris there is quite a large protected cove, swimming very good, nudity quite accepted, about 50% of the bathers were nude, others topless, you felt very much at ease if you removed all your clothes. Quite a protected place to go to, if Langeri is - [Krios and Martselo](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/krios-and-martselo/) - [location-weather id="3837"] According to a report from June 1998: From Parikia there is a beach boat advertising itself as going to Krios and Martsala beaches. If when the boat reaches the jetty you turn left, away from the visible beach, you come in 200 metres to a small beach which is majority nudist: this was popular, - [Parasporos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/parasporos/) - [location-weather id="3835"] South of Parikia, the beach at Parasporos has, it seems, been designated as a nudist beach. It was dirty, with litter widespread, and the water rough when we visited (however, the Sunseekers' Guide says it is suitable for bodysurfing). There is a taverna. The beach was, however, practically deserted. We stripped off and - [Mesadha](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/mesadha/) - [location-weather id="3833"] 1998 June: According to a report this small beach is located between Pounda and Tsardhakia. Although there is a signpost on the main road, there are so many dead ends that it's easier to find the beach by walking from Pounda. The Cap'n would appreciate a better Map location from someone that has - [Voutakos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/voutakos/) - [location-weather id="3832"] A report from late September 2003 describes this as a beautiful sandy beach, facing south, between Pounda and Aliki. About the only remote beach where there is absolutely no influence of the strong north wind. Since my contributors felt that northerly wind almost the whole time that they were on Paros, this beach was definitely - [Aghios Ioannis](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/aghios-ioannis-2/) - [location-weather id="3830"] This might just be the one mentioned in the introduction - there are two beaches here; some reports would be welcome! Also for: This seems highly attractive! if you can find the way there. "I think Aghios Ioannis beach is the same as Monasteri beach as the monastery by the beach is [dedicated] to - [Faraggas (Φάραγγας)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/faraggas-φάραγγας/) - [location-weather id="3828"] September 2013 - Not previously mentioned in Captain's Guide. Walkable from Aliki and car parking off the upgraded south coastal road. When I first visited 3/4 years ago was a very nice quiet beach sheltered from the Meltemi wind and suitable for nudists. Now however textile with cafe, loud music, parasols, etc. No longer recommended for nudists - [Chrysi Akti](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/chrysi-akti/) - [location-weather id="3826"] The beach at Chrysi Akti, also known as the Golden Beach, used to be well used for nudism. There was an area in the middle of the beach, just north of a taverna, where naturists gathered. It is a beautiful beach of sand and it is golden. We were sandblasted by the wind on - [Pounda / Pounta](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/pounda-pounta/) - [location-weather id="3812"] Not to be confused with another Pounda, which is the ferry port for Antiparos. From Parikia follow signs for Marpissa and Piso Livadi. If approaching Marpissa and Piso Livadi from the north, then Pounda is the third road on the left after passing Piso Livadi. Pounda beach is 100m long and 20m from - [Vigla / Kologeros](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/vigla-kologeros/) - [location-weather id="3824"] The Captain received two reports about this beach in September 2003. It is easy to find: just follow the indications to Molos. Arriving at the bay of Molos, you go straight ahead instead of turning left to Molos beach. This road turns right and is a dirt road. After about 400m you arrive at - [Beach near Molos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/beach-near-molos/) - [location-weather id="3823"] A report from July 2002 describes a beautiful cove with a narrow beach running about 750 metres long. The part of the beach furthest south was all naturist the day we visited, with about 6 young couples there at different times and a few single men. Couples were separated by about 20-30 feet. It was - [White Grove Beach Παραλία Άσπρος Γκρεμός](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/white-grove-beach-παραλία-άσπρος-γκρεμός/) - [location-weather id="3821"] It's just 1 km north of Ampelas; even if it is easily accessible by road, it was a pleasure discovery; during the first visit, a Wednesday afternoon, was very frequented: couples, groups and single ladies, and we were all naked. But during the second visit, a Saturday, there was no sign of nudity. by - [Santa Maria beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/santa-maria-beach/) - [location-weather id="3819"] Make your way to Naousa and follow signs for Santa Maria. Pass the salt pans on your right and continue to a crossroads and take the road on the right. At the first sign for a taverna, turn right and you will enter what seems to be a car park for this taverna. - [Platia Ammos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/platia-ammos-2/) - [location-weather id="3817"] You can go to Platia Ammos beach which is here (photos are geotagged): https://picasaweb.google.com/103408914622400708805/TinosPlatiaAmmosBeach (Sorry! this no longer works…. ) Drive (or take the bus) to Kionia. Continue driving (or walk) after the main beach. The road starts to go uphill. You will see the beach from a certain point. From that point on, - [Cape Gastria](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/cape-gastria/) - [location-weather id="3815"] First, go to Ammos Beach as described above by another visitor. At the far (northern) end of Ammos Beach, there is a small footpath leading up to the cliffs. After passing a small fence, which can be easily opened or is open already, take the small path along the cliffs for about 500m. - [Maltas beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/maltas-beach/) - [location-weather id="3813"] A Barefoot reporter visited Maltas beach in August 2006. It is a little treasure, with clear blue waters, a wonderful view of Ios, and all the peace and quiet that is so difficult to come by in Greek islands in August. To get there you need to get the little boat from Sikinos port - [Alopronia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/alopronia/) - [location-weather id="3810"] If you take the little cobbled path out of Alopronia, Sikinos' charming port, (on your left as you come from the harbour itself) you will see the rocky coastline after about 10-15 minutes. You will be able to reach the sea by crossing some fields. The rocks there are not very comfortable, but - [Koloumbo (Κολουμπος)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/koloumbo-κολουμπος/) - [location-weather id="3808"] Koloumbo beach is said to be a very nice beach (black sand with pebbles) near Oia. There is no bus service so you will need your own transport or a taxi. On the black sand beach, it is almost impossible to run without flip-flops. The beach is down the cliff (there are paths) - [Vlychada (βλυχαδα)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/vlychada-βλυχαδα/) - [location-weather id="3806"] Many correspondents describe this as the best beach for naturists in Santorini. Some consider it neck-and-neck with Koloumbo beach, while others think it is the only real nudist beach on the island. It deserves a good rating because it is long and not easily crowded, either by sun-loungers & umbrellas or by bathers. - [Perissa](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/perissa/) - [location-weather id="3805"] The other main beach resort is Perissa, fortunately less developed, still quite pleasant for a more relaxed stay. Toplessness is common here, nudity unknown in the developed section. There are reports of nudity past the developed area, although predominantly of a few single men. The beach is black, and the sea bed consists - [Monolithos (Μονολιθος)](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/monolithos-μονολιθος/) - [location-weather id="3802"] Barefoot reporters who visited Santorini in July 2006 found this beach just north of the airport, on the east side.

Some - [Red Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/red-beach/) - [location-weather id="3800"] 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 - [White Beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/white-beach/) - [location-weather id="3798"] On the other side of the hill from the Red Beach. You have to climb that hill to get there, not a very difficult path, nor tiring. The beach is very large with some trees which make some shadow. A beach of pebbles, with a large part of it covered by sea plants. - [Gerolimionas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/gerolimionas/) - [location-weather id="3796"] A small deserted beach at the north-west coast of the island. The beach is small - 20 metres long - but very wide. It has the best sand on the island and is within a huge inlet well-sheltered from the wind - swimming is like swimming on a lake. When my contributors visited - [Tsigouri](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/tsigouri/) - [location-weather id="3795"] 2013 July: No nudism at all. A lot of rubbish at the beach. 2016 July: One (or one day, two) nudists at the far end - away from Grispos Taverna - but otherwise lots of textiles on the beach, and most days several yachts. No-one seemed bothered about the nudism. Lovely sandy beach, no rubbish, - [Livadi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/livadi-4/) - [location-weather id="3793"] 2013 July: No nudism at all. 2017 September: all textile, some monokini at most.

Take a rock from the sandy beach, secure your swimming gear in the water and enjoy a good naked swim. - [Alygaria Kampos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/alygaria-kampos/) - [location-weather id="3791"] Easily the best beach on the island. You reach it by following the road to Lioliou but taking a right before the final bend towards Lioliou. It's signposted, so it's hard to miss. The beach itself is sand and pebbles and there's lots of cracks in the cliff to find some shade for - [Livadaki beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/livadaki-beach/) - [location-weather id="3789"] Livadaki beach, an easy walk from Livadi, is apparently designated as a nudist beach, but reports indicate that in high season the influx of tourists results in an invasion of textiles. Regular visitors say naturism has been out of the question there for some years now. 2003 September: A report confirms that impression, - [Karavi beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/karavi-beach/) - [location-weather id="3786"] Karavi beach, a little further around the headland (but only 15 minutes on foot south from Livadi), may be a better bet at these times; however there is development of a group of holiday houses there. A report from August 1999 describes thin crowds (even in high season). Nudist families and older nudists (40-60). Plus, - [Psili Ammos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/psili-ammos-2/) - [location-weather id="3784"] Psili Ammos is at least 60 minutes' walk along a vehicle track north of Livadi. It is a beautiful beach and nudity was fine at the north end but I doubt if it will be quite so possible in high season. Contributors describe it as a nice sandy beach, but a long walk - [Koutalas](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/koutalas/) - [location-weather id="3782"] Koutalas (SW part of the island) has never been a naturist beach (due to the seaside village that has always been there). It is a nice beach: no naturists present in September 2003, and because of the taverna, houses and church it would really only be possible at the east end (if unoccupied by - [Lia](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/lia-2/) - [location-weather id="3778"] Lia beach is said to be a naturist beach, and is not far from the port, although best reached by car.

However, - [Vagia beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/vagia-beach/) - [location-weather id="3772"] 2020 September: Before the beaches of Ganema and Koutalas, on the left side of the main road (indicated by a sign) is the beach of Vagia. In Summer, a bus stops on the main road. Easy access by car In its main part some beach umbrellas and sunbeds are available (obviously they are charged - [Mega Livadi beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/mega-livadi-beach/) - [location-weather id="3770"] Mega Livadi Bay offers a nude bathing at the thermal springs.

Arrived at the rock hole (see picture "Mega_Livadi_Bay_1") you climb further over the - [Avesalos beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/avesalos-beach/) - [location-weather id="3768"] Our insider tip is the Avesalos Bay. We chose this bay because of its location and accessibility. A partly bumpy and steep natural road leads there. With the necessary caution, this road can also be driven with a normal car. When we reached the bottom, there were two trees that provided shade for the - [Faros / Fasolou](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/faros-fasolou/) - [location-weather id="3766"] The Sunseekers' Guide gave three stars to the beach at Faros, despite the fact that rocks made access to the water difficult. 2002: Reports suggest no naturists there, only a sign forbidding nudism. 2016 September / October: Fasolou is near to Faros, 7 km from the centre of Appolonia. The beach there is - [Vathy](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/vathy/) - [location-weather id="3764"] The main beach is 100% textile. There is a small beach to the left which older reports suggested was completely naturist. One walks past the umbrellas and walks up the steps and turns right down the path which is just a few metres. This from a report from 2000. 2005: A report suggests - [Kastro](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kastro/) - [location-weather id="3762"] The Captain heard that there is a very nice place to swim nude on Sifnos, which has existed for a long time: the flat rocks below the village of Kastro. It is not suitable for families with children because it is not easy to get out of the water, but the place is - [Fikiadha](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/fikiadha/) - [location-weather id="3760"] Taking the road out of Vathi, you will see a track off to the right signposted Fikiadha. It's a small pebble beach situated in a deep bay - a bit untidy but the walk is the attraction - you can go completely nude for over four hours in the direction of Plati Ghialos. - [Rocky bay](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/rocky-bay/) - [location-weather id="3756"] But on the way to Gialos Bay we found the perfect place for us. I call it "Rocky Bay". It is located on the hiking route "4". The closest to reach from Gialos Bay. At the coordinates See on Google Maps you have to look for piled up stones in the bushes on the left - [Heronisos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/heronisos/) - [location-weather id="3754"] At the north of the island, 14 km from Apollonia. Go to the beach there. Go left (facing the sea), pass the restaurant and continue the path. You pass a house and the path now is only rocks. Don't worry - keep going. After a few metres there are some spots at the rocks - [Vroulidia Bay](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/vroulidia-bay/) - [location-weather id="3752"] 2023 July: The natural road to Vroulidia Bay has been repaired and is now also passable with a normal car. We were not there, however, have seen from the opposite mountain slope there the many cars and people. Naturism is so there probably more difficult. - [Agio Nikolaos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/agio-nikolaos/) - [location-weather id="3750"] 2023 July: In fact, we went to Agios Nikolaos. The hiking trail "9a" led us to this church with a pleasant slope. In front of the church (see picture "Agios_Nikolaos_1") there is a lot of shade (but please with respect and only textile). Below the church there is a landing stage (see picture "Agios_Nikolaos_2"). - [Monastery Chrisopigi](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/monastery-chrisopigi/) - [location-weather id="3748"] 2023 July: The rocks in front of the Monastery Chrisopigi are also beautiful. We were there in the early morning. From 1100 the number of visitors increases. But until then we could sunbathe undisturbed on the rocks (see picture "Monastery_Chrisopigi") and swim in the sea. - [Katergaki](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/katergaki/) - [location-weather id="3746"] According to an anonymous report received by the Captain, easy access about 9km from Ermoupolis is the village of Vari. Next to the beach is a small hill. The opposite side is Katergaki, a Lesbian and gay-friendly place with big rocks and very clean water for swimming. The easy way is from the - [Kokkina beach](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/kokkina-beach/) - [location-weather id="3744"] Kokkina Beach is about 100 yards from Kokkina Beach Hotel and seems to be the obvious beach for them to use. Not an obvious choice for naturism, therefore, despite earlier reports. 2003 June: A report said no-one was using this beach at all. It seems unlikely that it would be used by nudists - [Armeos](https://barefoot.holiday/directory/armeos/) - [location-weather id="3742"] An "official" naturist beach, in as much as it is shown as such on tourist information displays in nearby Galissas.

Some contributors have the distinct impression that everyone was there for the same reasons, namely, peace, tranquillity and a great area for nude bathing and swimming. As always, use discretion. In July 2020 everything in this area was operating pretty normally except a little quieter usual due to Covid 19 so it’s a good time to go, relax in the sun and support local businesses. - [South Crete](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/south-crete/) - [Gavdos Island](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/gavdos-island/) - Gavdos is a small island opposite Chora Sfakion. There have been reports of high percentages of nudity on the beaches there for some time, but a contributor has sent some very interesting details of the situation on Gavdos during the summer of 2005, in particular as regards the best known naturist beach, Ag. Ioannis, and a nearby less frequented one, Lavrakas. Ferries to Gavdos depart from Hora Sfakion, Paleochora, Sougia, Loutro and Plakias and arrive at Karave (Karabe). There are two companies that service this line: Anendyk, which has a ferry that can carry vehicles (see the schedule here) and Gavdos Lines, which has a small fast speed-boat (see the schedule here – in greek). For more info, contact the companies (Anendyk: +30 28210 95511 & +30 28210 95530 / info@anendyk.gr Gavdos Lines: +30 2823042458, +30 6972227354 (mobile) & +30 6942697060 (mobile) / contact ). It is quite a long passage and ferry services can be easily affected by the weather. There only needs to be a strong breeze and the ferries are cancelled. Also it is advisable to buy, not make a reservation but BUY your ferry ticket a day or better still two days early if you are there in the busy season (August). This Barefooter thought it is best to get your ticket from the booths at the port itself. This general report on the island in 2020 has been contributed by Alex to the Forum:- “I spent almost the entire month of August camping on Gavdos. The number of campers in 2020 is somewhat higher than previous years. This due to the Greek authorities closing down two other islands or areas where free camping is permitted. This meant lots of people instead went to Gavdos. Hopefully the other areas will be open next year. The campers were mainly Greeks. “Gavdos in early/mid August is really overcrowded and a bit ruined. The island this year attracted a lot of people who aren’t into the relaxed post-hippie lifestyle that is otherwise common. As for naturism, most beaches are about 70% nudist. On most beaches there isn’t any separation or distinct areas. It’s just a bunch of people not caring what other people are wearing or not.” (Notes on individual beaches are given under their own headings) - [Cyprus](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/cyprus/) - Cyprus is an independent EU member state. The southern part is Greek-speaking. The government has no control over the Turkish-speaking northern part of the island which is de facto a separate state although internationally not recognised. Tourists (at least EU citizens) can cross freely between the Southern and Northern part of Cyprus at dedicated checkpoints. Best avoid mid-July to mid-Sept. The locals escape the summer heat in Nicosia by arriving en masse at the beaches, some with camping gear and it is then at many of the places just about impossible to skinny-dip, in particular on the week-ends. At other times of the year there are few, if any locals on the out-of-town beaches and no-one seems to mind providing you are reasonably discreet. The sea stays warm enough for swimming well into November and really, if you can find yourself a sheltered spot you can usually sunbathe even in the middle of winter providing it is a sunny day. There are lots of sunny days in Cyprus in winter but you can also be unlucky and have a a week or more of dull, cold or rainy weather, especially December to March. The Captain has been struck by the percentage of reports about gawkers on those few beaches in Cyprus where nudists can go. In summary, there are no naturist beaches as such in Cyprus but there are many stretches of little-used coastline where no-one will get upset. Toplessness seems to be accepted everywhere, (even in full view from the road on the main Limassol beach!) although not terribly common. In general the locals don’t like naturism but are unlikely to complain unless they think you are annoying other paying tourists. The police are laid back and seem to have instructions not to upset any tourists, clothed or not. But the prevailing opinion seems to be that if there are any places suitable for going nude they must be at very difficult access points and rocky areas well along the coast, and definitely no sand access to the sea. (However, there are indeed remote sand beaches such as Karpaz and others that are empty depending on the season; see the reports below). - [UK](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/england/) - [Dodecanese](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/dodecanese/) - [Astipalea](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/astipalea/) - Astipalea is a quiet island and most travellers are here to escape, either retired people or people getting some time off. Encouraging reports regarding the possibilities for naturists here. Off season you can strip off on almost any of the beaches except the town beaches at Maltezana, Livadia and the Chora. However the roads are bad and if you hire a car fwr a 4WD. There are just a few sections of road impassable by car and some sections very difficult (added 2012). 2013: I would agree with the above comments about Maltezana and would include all the small coves that can be found close by. We set out to enjoy one of those coves on the spit of land that goes south from Maltezana bay on its western edge. We chose the west facing cove because it was secluded, could not be seen from the road and did not face the main town. We had the beach to ourselves first thing for an hour but were then joined by another three couples and one lone guy all textile. There was then a very unpleasant altercation with a German ex-pat and his wife who insisted we covered up because the locals did not like it. We put on costumes but stayed, they left shortly after and we apologized to the others on the beach who seemed to be completely unconcerned. Even though there was one more local male nudist with a textile girlfriend later on it left a rather unpleasant feeling. When we drove away later that afternoon we spotted a no nudity sign on the road along the spit that had fallen into a ditch. - [Halki](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/halki/) - [Kalymnos/Telendos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/kalymnos-telendos/) - Telendos was unceremoniously divorced from Kalymnos in AD 554 by a fortnight of earthquakes. The plain lying between them subsided, taking with it a large city, whose remains it is said can still be seen on the sea-bottom from boats crossing the sound – it needs to be calm for this. To reach the island you should go to Myrties (10 km from main town) where there is a site for tourists, and take one of the small boats from the harbour to Telendos (10 min). There are no cars on Telendos, except the once-a-morning rubbish tricycle collecting the daily rubbish, so you are not looking for a high-speed car ferry, probably just a caique! Oct 2021 boats run every half hour €2.50 each way. The ferries run from the small jetty by Myrties Beach, not the marina as shown on Google maps. - [Karpathos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/karpathos/) - The Independent Traveller’s Greek Island Hopping guide gave Karpathos a 3 out of 10 rating for nudism. These ratings seem to rarely be updated, and can be misleading, but on this occasion 3/10 probably isn’t too far out. - [Kos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/kos/) - A heavily package-touristed island which therefore has an awful lot of textiles. But the island undoubtedly has a lot to see and do and some of the beaches are very good, although perhaps best visited outside the peak season in July/August. And there certainly are various well-established naturist beaches which Barefooters enthuse over. Travelling west towards Kefalos along the main road from the airport, there are several good beaches before you reach Kefalos. These are all signed with turnings to the left off the main road, and some have more than one name. - [Leros](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/leros/) - [Lipsi](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/lipsi/) - This is a small, rocky island with one village. You can get to it by excursion boat from Patmos. Upon arrival you will find a large, rather unfriendly, notice attached to the harbour fence saying “Nudism is forbidden on our island”. The Captain has nonetheless had some reports. One commentator rated the naturist possibilities there unimpressive. The other noted that guidebooks report a couple of beaches as suitable for the unclad. The majority of beaches are 100% textile. There are a couple of small quiet beaches on the north coast to the north of the town but they have a lot of litter on them. - [Nissiros](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/nissiros/) - [Patmos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/patmos/) - This fascinating island is deeply religious; even topless bathing is prohibited since the whole island is given a special status by the government. - [Rhodes](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/rhodes/) - Rhodes is a large and well-visited island with some spectacular scenery and undoubtedly beautiful beaches. But development has taken its toll on facilities for the naturist. As will be clear from what follows, naturism is certainly possible. Whether it can be practised comfortably is another matter, and some certainly take the view that other islands offer much better possibilities if naturism is one of your holiday priorities. The list of possible beaches has been heavily pruned for 2021, leaving only two, but then again, a stay at the naturist hotel and a visit to the wonderful Tsambiki beach may be your best nude vacation ever. Not a beach, but The Angel Naturist Hotel near Paradisi is worth a visit. It is possible to go on a day visit @ €20 including a free drink. It gets good reviews on Trip Advisor. - [Symi](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/symi/) - [Tilos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/tilos/) - According to a now rather out-of-date article in the London Evening Standard in August 1999 this unspoilt, small island has plenty of opportunities for nude sunning and swimming. According to the Thomas Cook guide the best beach is Eristos and nudity is happily tolerated there. The Captain subsequently had reports that it was changing massively and has far more tourists as a result. Islanders were less prepared to tolerate nudism and because of the greater number of tourists it was much harder to find any privacy. In 2000, the Red beach (which is about 40 minutes walk from the town down a steep cliff) was very crowded with textiles all summer long. Yachts kept arriving in search of isolated beaches, but again all textiles. Reports came in about every beach (even some of the relatively inaccessible ones, some miles from paved roads) bearing at least one “Nudity Forbidden” sign. My contributor says it seems from casually chatting with locals that the strong ex-pat British community that has done so much to promote walking trails on Tilos has turned against Naturism in a serious way. However prospects appear to have since improved. Various reports during 2002 and 2003 (which seems to have been a quiet year for tourism in the Greek Islands generally) were much more positive, notably about Eristos. A contributor who re-visited the island in September 2002 said that with regards to nudity, things were much like they were in 1998. There was a “no nudity” sign on the beach in Livadia, otherwise they saw no signs. Both Lethra and Red beach are an easy 45-60 minutes walk from Livadia, and cannot be regarded as really remote. Nudity varied from 100% nude to almost 100% textile, depending on who visited that day (just like before). Eristos was mainly nude on the farthest, eastern part, after the end of the road. Sunbeds and parasols, which attract textiles, were limited to the section by the bus stop. Some secluded coves further on required more climbing abilities than my contributors had. My contributor thinks somebody must have given in on their fight against nudity, and it seems that out of the high season Tilos is still good for the dedicated nude swimmer who is not afraid of a walk. So this is the context within which the Captain offers the reports below. - [Cyclades](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/cyclades/) - [Amorgos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/amorgos/) - The ferry journey from Pireus to Amorgos can take 12 hours (and this assumes you can find a timetable, but that’s another story). Some of the Captain’s contributors return year after year, such is the pull of Amorgos. Boats usually stop at the two ports, Katapola and Egiali (shown on local signs as Aigiali). There is now a good road between the two ports and a regular bus service. One contributor says the boat berthed in Katapola for at least an hour and a half before moving on to Egiali, but the trip was worth the wait. The landscape of the sheer cliffs was eerie and coming into Egiali was an experience. - [Anafi](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/anafi/) - Anafi is a very quiet island east of Santorini, which has good ferry links, including to and from Santorini. Domatia owners meet ferries, but tourism on the island is at a low level, with some visitors being keen walkers. The port is tiny, and most accommodation (in the form of rooms and studios) is to be found in the spectacular Hora, located up a winding road high above the port. Some accommodation is also available at Klissidi beach (off to the right on the road up from the port). The Hora has a number of tavernas and a few shops, including a bakers and an office selling ferry tickets (with unpredictable opening hours). Another office for tickets is at the port and opens before ferries arrive. It’s a 20 minute walk down a path from Hora to the port. Surprisingly, car hire is now available in Hora. - [Andros](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/andros/) - Andros, the most Northerly of the Cyclades, is a short hop across from Athens. Known as the Island of sea-farers it has a variety of differing aspects worth seeking out. Athenians visit Andros at weekends as a place to get away from the hubbub and smoke. There are some very stylish houses which sit empty for a lot of the year. Andros has three lush valleys between fairly high mountains, natural springs (Sariza is bottled here and sold in M & S), and a good wildlife population. (But no jellyfish!) Depending on your method of travel you may land either in Gavrion or Batsi. - [Antiparos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/antiparos/) - Antiparos is a small, relatively unspoiled island with some splendid nudist beaches. The official nudist beach is arguably the principal one, and some of the others mentioned in this report are often used by local people who do not bare all. It is easy to get to Antiparos by boat from Paros town (Parikia) by a regular ferry which leaves by the windmill (very cheap). Or you can take the regular public car ferry which goes from Pounda, about 5 miles to the south of the town, reached by bus or taxi. Antiparos is a peaceful place to stay, even though the town boasts 2 discos and 50 or so bars. - [Donoussa](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/donoussa/) - Donoussa is the most remote of the Little Cyclades, but in the summer season has reasonable ferry connections – Blue Star and the little Express Skopelitis call several times each week. Virtually all the accommodation is at the port, Ag Stavros, where there is a good baker’s, a souvenir shop, a couple of mini-markets, a few tavernas, and a couple of bars. There are no sunbeds/umbrellas on the island and very little shade. The beach at the port is obviously not nudist, but you can walk round the island in a day and there are other beaches. There is another beach (sand and shingle) north of the port, said to be suitable for naturism. You only have to follow the northern road from the port for about 15-20 min. My correspondents gave it a rating of 65% because there is no shade. . The harbour taverna (To Kyma) is the focal point of the island and if it is the only taverna open it is worth getting there before eight to get a table. You then help yourself to beer and wait until the food is ready. Then everything progresses in its own way. It was very good and very cheap. My contributor had worked out how to get to Donoussa on www.openseas.gr before leaving home. Accommodation could be difficult in high season but in June 2010 it was very good and cheap (25 euros per night for a studio for two people). This place is very untouristed and very Greek. there is supposedly a boat that travels to the beaches on this island but in a week here we only saw it one morning. The most reliable way it appears is the bus which leaves from the port on the hour (6 Euro) and goes to the main beaches and returns from the far beach on the half hour - [Folegandros](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/folegandros/) - A beautifully scenic island with quite the most picturesque Chora the Captain has had the pleasure of visiting. Plus beaches used by naturists. - [Ios](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/ios/) - An island memorably described by one of my contributors as a haunt for a lot of young people, many of whom belong to the “Sand, Sea and Sex Brigade”, who seem to equate nudity with a form of advertising…! However, whilst there may be an element of truth in that, outside the peak holiday weeks, there are some lovely beaches suitable for naturism. In 2010, the Sand, Sea and Sex Brigade seems to have faded or gone elsewhere. 2024: In recent years, Ios has developed strongly, you will find more and more high-quality accommodation and dinner options on the island. For young naturists, Ios offers great nightlife fun with many Australian and Scandinavian visitors, while you can still discover peaceful and unspoiled beaches (150ccm ATV recommended) on the day, especially on the South-Eastern part of the island. - [Iraklia](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/iraklia/) - You can rent a cheap room in the village-port (€20 for two people, including breakfast, in 2004) and go to Livadi beach on foot in few minutes. There are said to be other nudist beaches, but some distance from the port-village, so it is normal to get there by taxi-boat. - [Kea](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/kea/) - Kea is described in Frewin Poffley’s guide as one of the hidden pearls of the Aegean. In that guide it scores a mere 1 out of 10 for nudism. It is not one of the best known destinations for western Europeans but it is apparently very popular with Athenians at weekends. - [Kimolos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/kimolos/) - Frewin Poffley describes Kimolos as a good island to escape the crowds and the more commercial trappings of tourism. What’s more, there is a generally accepted nudist beach. The Captain rarely receives any reports on Kimolos and would welcome updates, as it seems that this pleasantly rural island is being progressively invaded by textiles, especially in the “high” season. We visited briefly in June 2014, and again in September 2019 – both times it was very windy (north wind in 2019), and not many people around. There were definitely more people bringing hire cars and motorbikes over to Kimolos in 2019, so more chance of meeting people on remoter beaches – but September is good for quiet beaches. The bus does not run in September so we got lifts, or taxis, or walked some distance. - [Koufonissia](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/koufonissia/) - Koufonissia is situated between Naxos and Amorgos. The word “Koufonissia” is plural, covering the two islands called Epano Koufonissi (Epano is often shortened to Pano or Ano), i.e. “upper” Koufonissi ; and Kato Koufonissi, i.e. “lower” Koufonissi. Kato Koufonissi is the larger, or at least longer, of the two. The Captain has been asked to mention that there are no designated naturist beaches on Ano Koufonissi, although there are on Kato Koufonissi, which is served by boat four times per day. I am told that the Ano Koufonissi beaches are fronted by private residences. The Captain encourages all naturists to be sensible and to avoid causing offence: see FAQ’s (the link is in the left margin) for more details. However if it proves to be the case that naturism is no longer welcome, or even tolerated, naturists (who tend to be thinking people who enjoy the good things in life) can always spend their Euros, pounds, dollars and kroner on another island. All that said, there are certainly very agreeable places on Ano Koufonissi where naturism is practised and tolerated. - [Kythnos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/kythnos/) - It would appear to be furnished with hotels, apartments and tavernas, quite a lot of beaches, ferries but no airport. The eponymous chora (capital aka Messaria) is situated about as far inland as it’s possible to get; there are roads if you would like to hire a car. Probably the main port, Mericha, would make a better base. For someone looking for a “quiet” holiday this must be the place! So please go and let us know what you found….. - [Milos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/milos/) - This Western Cycladean island appears to offer some naturist possibilities. It is growing in popularity, however, and with increased crowds naturists have a tendency to be crowded out. It does have an airport, but very small. Tourism has dramatically increased in the islands. In previous years, September was usually a quiet month. This is not true for Milos in 2014. Some beaches had 50 or 100 tourists. With lots of tourists, the possibilities for nudism decrease. The good news is there are still some possibilities for nudism on Milos. The bad news is that you will not feel comfortable being naked on the overwhelming majority of beaches. It does vary from day to day. You may, in fact, find that you have a beach or section of a beach to yourself for an hour or several hours. Generally, however, you will only consistently find nudism 1) on the far western beaches of Triades and Ammoudaraki or 2) on Achivadolimni (also called Hivadolimni) a short drive (or a long walk) from Adamas. late August 2017: The Island is sinking in Italian Families: everywhere is absolutely full. No chance to go nude, apart from 2 places as I note below. Bottom line – wanna practice naturism in August in Milos? Go elsewhere; even Serifos is more Naturist-friendly than this…. Finally in an island where nudism is not so easy, it is better to concentrate on one spot, where it is then easier to resist textile swimmers. early July 2018: still some good opportunities around the island to stay naked even in July! Late September 2018: GOOD NEWS!! Lots of space in Achivadolimni, western, southern and eastern beaches for naturism! “I just got back from a 10-day visit to Milos (my second time there) and there were topless women everywhere. I even saw an entire family naked playing ping-pong in the surf. I myself went topless (by the way, I’m a woman) and when I would suntan, I was completely nude. No one seemed to mind…especially not the beautiful man whom I met the day before…God, I love Greece and I love Milos…. ” This is not the only report of this kind I have received about Milos. What is it about this island..?!! A Barefoot reporter was in Milos and Folegandros between end of May and beginning of June 2010. That meant only a very limited number of tourists on both islands: often my contributor was on the beaches alone or only with other two/three people. That’s the reason it is quite difficult to say if they could have been nudist spots or not. In Milos there are beaches with different grades of difficulty or “reachability”, all of them sandy with clear waters. - [Mykonos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/mykonos/) - Mykonos was once a nudists’ paradise. It is now chancy to say the least. It’s a lively island, well known for many years as a meeting place for the gay community. The inflow of more and more textiles means that if naturism is your priority it is hard to recommend Mykonos these days, particularly in high season. By way of example, one contributor who visited in August 2006 said: “We have had our holiday crowded out by partying young people … very noisy. Only Paranga beach tolerated nudity. In July /August prudes rule. We were made to feel unwelcome on most other beaches.” However it’s fair to say that this is not a universally held view. For example, contributions from 2001 summed up the position thus: “Unless you are homophobe, or want to be alone, go to Mykonos!” Recent visit (October 2013) I have changed my mind. Paradise and Super Paradise were completely clothed – even on warm days. Forget it. Sad loss. And another correspondent says: “I highly disagree with your description of this beach and this island. I found the naturist possibilities better here than on many of the other islands I have visited.” Some reports suggest that the situation may be “not as bad” as in some previous years. So, please make your own judgement. A note (September 2010): There were not many nudists but people seem so tolerant in most of the beaches. Have just returned from Mykonos (Sept. 2010) Generally speaking, I can confirm that the textile invasion seems permanent. It is sad that nudists are relegated to their “section”. Imagine a “nudist area” sign on Super Paradise. The situation isn’t much better on Paradise or Paranga. However, I also visited Fokos Bay and Mersini Bay. Both were very quiet. Fokos Bay is definitely a mixed textile/nudist beach. I was very comfortable there. Mersini had one textile family on it, so I walked to the far end from them. My nudity was ignored by them. I also stopped by Ftelia Beach. Definitely not a recommended beach. It was absolutely strewn with garbage. I have no idea why. It would be a beautiful beach, sandy and wide open. (Another correspondent says the reason for the garbage is that everything that blows into Ormos Panormos from the north gets washed up here.) August 2024: Although Ftelias beach may look nice when viewed from the top, it has indeed lots of garbage brought by the sea. AT the middle of the beach, where the crowd of textiles is lower, access to the water is made difficult by rocks. Also, being nude there attracted us unfriendly looks from textile beachgoers. - [Naxos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/naxos/) - A popular island with some great possibilities for naturists. However, like many Greek islands, it can get busy in high season and established nude beaches can be taken over by textiles. The most popular nudist beaches, in the rocky bay with the chapel near the Paradiso taverna, and Plaka, south of the Three Brothers taverna, are served by a regular and reliable bus service from Naxos town. - [Paros](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/paros/) - A correspondent tells me he found a Greek tourist brochure about Paros which includes this: “Go naked! “Messada, Lageri and the back area of Ag. Ioannis will be the beaches, which you can visit if you like enjoying water full naked. ” Paros is an excellent place to stay if naturism is your priority. - [Santorini aka Fira or Thira](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/santorini/) - This is a beautiful and spectacular island, but not great for its beaches, most of which are volcanic black. The island is a major destination for tourists from all over the world, and the prices in the main town of Fira are hiked for the benefit (?) of the many cruise boats that call there. Tourism is a big, and I mean big, operation here, something which itself has taken its toll. A June 2001 visitor who is herself Greek said this: “Things are not the same in Santorini, and it’s not just a matter of naturism. Everything is geared towards maximizing the tourism industry, and it’s hard (even being Greek) to feel that one is truly welcome there in the sense that those who profit from tourism will do their best to maintain an atmosphere of tranquillity and authentic hospitality. There is a lot of effort put into trying to impress visitors by offering a classier & expensive experience of the island, but that is not always accompanied by an effort to maintain the unique local flavour the island once enjoyed. Beware of buying anything in shops that say ‘traditional’ produce (herbs, fava peas, honey, etc.) because it is not always so. I hate to say this, because it is not in the best interest of the local producers. Just don’t confuse the local producers (who sometimes sell from the back of a truck along the road) from the commercial shops.” The biggest package tour destination is Kamari, which is extremely developed with a long frontage of tavernas and tourist shops. Don’t expect to be able to go nude here. When the Captain visited (September 1998) it was hard to spot even toplessness there. The problem for naturists on Santorini was neatly described by one of my contributors, who said this: “We visited Santorini in September 1987 and again in August 2000. In the intervening 13 years, Naturism has undergone a massive retrogression. In 1987, Santorini was approaching the ideal – a co-existence between naturists and non-naturists on almost every beach. The main sea front, at Kamari Beach, was non-naturist but, as soon as the tavernas began to thin out, any inhibitions vanished. At Perissa, where the beach is less overlooked, naturists could be found right along the sea front. “Today, only a handful of furtive naturists can be found on the whole island. Prohibition signs appear at former naturist beaches. Clearly, there has been an official crackdown. However, the underlying cause, of the virtual demise of Naturism on Santorini, is the vast expansion of the tourist industry. Red Beach and Limani Beach at Monolithos, little frequented in 1987, are now lined with beach umbrellas. Naturism has been squeezed out and, until a complete change of attitude can be brought about, quieter islands must be sought out.” Despite these unpropitious circumstances there are still places where naturism can be practised. - [Schinoussa](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/schinoussa/) - The loveliest and most agricultural of the Little Cyclades, cattle, goats, sheep and crops. Hilly (rather than mountainous) but easy walking. The Chora contains the bulk of the island’s accommodation, along with a few mini markets and tavernas and a very good bakers (which also sells sun cream, parasols and fruit). There’s also the office selling Blue Star ferry tickets (which doubles up as the Post Office) and a separate place selling Express Skopelitis tickets. The island is small enough for car hire to be usually unnecessary, but a bicycle helps. There are official No Camping and No Nuddism (sic) signs at Psili Ammos, Campos and Livadi beaches. There could be similar official-looking signs elsewhere on the island. However, in June 2010 there were relatively few visitors, making nudism perfectly possible on several beaches. A copy of a good, large-scale, printed map of the island is available. My contributors were given a copy by the Hotel Iliovasilemas, where they stayed. That map shows the only beach marked as FKK as being on Fidou Islet, just to the south of Schinoussa – and completely inaccessible without a boat! - [Serifos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/serifos/) - A beautiful island dominated by the hill-top Chora. The main tourist centre is at Livadi, the main port. Mixed reports about its suitability for naturism. Some recent visitors have confirmed the availability of some of the beaches listed below; other reports suggest that the island is now textile because of “improvements”. One report, from late in the season, suggests at that time of year it can be a naturist’s paradise. June 2016: Visited recently and the island was not very busy except weekends when Greek people overflow it. August 2016 repot from Greek Nudist, Serifos totally unsuitable for nudism, except in Lia and Karavi beaches, however both dominated by textiles, kids, etc. Need to report not the best Island for naturism. But a report by Kavafis in 2021 says of the island in general: We went to Serifos in the end of June/beginning of July. As there is an ongoing debate on whether it is a suitable island for naturism, I am happy to give a favorable report about opportunities for nudism there. I must say that we heard from locals that the island gets very crowded in August, which might affect the situation of nudist beaches (as described by a contributor in 2016). Individual beach reports are given below under their appropriate headings. - [Sifnos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/sifnos/) - Only a few reports of naturism being practised on Sifnos, more than matched by the disappointment of others who have failed to find any suitable spots. Some contributors have concluded that Sifnos is something of a no-go area for naturists. However there are places which seem to merit at least a try. - [Sikinos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/sikinos/) - The Captain is delighted to receive the first reports of naturism in the unspoilt Cycladean island of Sikinos. Barefoot reporters say Sikinos is a real find for anyone looking for a real Greek island holiday, full of sights, colours and senses. They loved it… It is as close as you can probably get in the Cyclades to what things were like in the ’50s and 60s. As a general rule, I would say that naturism shouldn’t be too much of a problem, as most beaches here are only accessible by boat. The only ferry port is at Alopronia (Limani Sikinou) and there is nowhere for an airport! - [Syros](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/syros/) - The main port of the island is Ermoupolis, which is also the administrative centre for the Cyclades and comparatively industrial, even including shipyards. The more residential parts of the town are set upon twin hills, looking south over the small airport on the far side of the bay, which would be wide open to the meltemi were it not for for two long straight breakwaters. This east coast is not noted for its beaches – this selection is all on the south and mainly west coasts/ - [Tinos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/tinos/) - For many years the Captain has preferred to turn a Nelsonian blind eye towards Tinos, not even mentioning it amongst the constituents of the Cyclades. This was because it has great religious importance for the Greeks as the Church of Panagia Evangelistria in Tinos Town is considered the protector, not only of the island, but of the entire country. (In fact, many pilgrims head to this church all year round, not just at the time of the main festival on 15th August.) It thus seemed to be potentially offensive to our hosts to even consider naturism in this context. However that there is some demand has been shown by contributions from Greek supporters – so here is the information given. Please apply it with the greatest respect… - [Ionian](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/ionian/) - [Corfu](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/corfu/) - A heavily developed island but with a car (and outside the peak season) Barefooters have found plenty of attractive beaches where they were able to be naked without feeling uncomfortable. This would be impossible in the main resorts. The West coast would seem to attract the German tourists who appear to have a more positive attitude to nudism than the average British package tourist. Development continues apace, something that unfortunately encourages the textile invasion, and the fact that beaches below are described as having been used by nudists does not mean that they necessarily still are. I should say that although some of my contributors have been delighted by some of the nude beaches they have found, others have been less enthusiastic. A Norwegian couple who visited in June 2001 found the beaches difficult to reach with public transport and did not recommend the island for other naturists. [There may have been some improvements since then.] - [Ithaca](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/ithaca/) - Ithaca is a small but hilly island nestling close to Kephalonia. - [Kefalonia](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/kefalonia/) - The island has had a surge of popularity as a result of the book and film of “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin”. Ernle Bradford’s Guide to the Greek Islands talks about an idyllic beach with orange sand. Other guides mention long, lonely stretches and 3 kilometre runs of sand. katavothres01.jpg If you are in the capital, Argostoli, for any reason, you must ask for directions to the Katavothres, which are on the extreme northern tip of the peninsula on which the town stands, about half an hour’s walk. In this unlikely situation, surrounded on three sides by the Gulf, you will find a channel through which the Ionian sea runs continually into a hole in the ground with sufficient force to drive a mill-wheel installed first by the British… Your problem is to explain why the hole has never yet filled up? [No prizes] It’s believed that this phenomenon is globally unique, so DON’T MISS IT. Wonderful island; plenty of opportunities for nude swimming as too many reports proving. Only at Myrtos beach was unable to strip off (late June 2018). If you like a nude beach with many bathers, Lourdas and Mouda are perfect for you! I disagree: at Myrtos you can still strip! (we did so on 2 occasions July 2018 – details below at beach description) - [Lefkas aka Lefkatha, Leukada or Lefkada](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/lefkas/) - Greeks call it Lefkatha (stress on the first “a”; “th” pronounced like in “that”), Lefkas being somewhat archaic. In English it’s often translated as Lefkada. The Captain hears that the entire west coast of this island offers an opportunity for the naturist to indulge. It is very long and going as far South as possible took you away from any crowds. However, it looks as if development is threatening it. The eastern part of the island was rather too populous and there didn’t seem to be any traditional naturist sites. There is a lot of coastline only accessible by boat or brave motor travellers and so there may be possibilities here. However, our [original] correspondents were supposed to be learning to sail so didn’t explore these possibilities! - [Mathraki](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/mathraki/) - [Paxos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/paxos/) - Paxos is a small island about 2 hours south of Corfu town by ferry. It’s covered in olive trees with a rugged west coast of tall cliffs and a string of pebble only beaches on the East coast. There are three towns/villages on the east coast. South from Gaios by speed boat about 20 minutes there is the island of Antipaxos with two magnificent textile beaches separated by a smaller quieter pebble beach where it might be possible to go nude but it was not the case on the Captain’s visit, now admittedly some years ago. Many visitors find Paxos is an absolute gem of a place; there are no lager louts or discos, but just an island 5 miles by 1 mile, covered in olive trees and footpaths. Arguably the jewel in the crown is the town of Lakka, which is located on the northern tip of the island in a splendid bay. Paxos has no sandy beaches. The west coast is mainly sheer cliffs, but the eastern coast is full of small pebble bays. The larger and more accessible beaches are textile. The island caters mainly for the yachting fraternity and for upmarket European holiday companies so has a rather mature and sophisticated clientele who are not really worried about a bit of bare flesh. Nudity on the boats sailing off-shore is common. As far as nudity on the beaches is concerned it would seem to be first come first served. It may not be the obvious place to go to for a nude holiday, and it hardly compares with Skiathos or Mykonos for nude sunbathing choice, but it does contain quite a bit of nude sunbathing potential. If that is what you are looking for, together with a quiet, small, unspoilt Greek island, then read on! Naturist holiday venue? No. Places to take your clothes of for an hour or two of sunbathing? Yes, if you work at it. That being said, the Captain has heard unconfirmed reports (2008) of action being taken against naturists – even on remote beaches – at the behest of the Mayor of Gaios. If true, it seems unusually prudish – the beaches used by naturists are pretty remote and one would have to try very hard to take offence. The island is very popular with British people. - [Zakynthos aka Zante](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/zakynthos/) - Zakynthos is very popular with package tourists, the vast majority textile, with predictable results. Some visitors who visit with naturism in mind come away disappointed. However there are several beaches with plenty of naturist fans, although no guarantees that nudism is available in high season. Most of these beaches are around the Gulf of Laganas, set into the south end of the island. Some Barefoot reporters suggest that some of the best beaches on Z cannot be reached by land. It’s an idea to hire a boat and explore these, together with the tiny islands that surround Zakynthos. - [Saronic](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/saronic/) - [Aegina](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/aegina/) - There are limited nudist opportunities on the Saronic island of Aegina. This island, being just over an hour from Athens, gets busy at weekends but out of the town there are isolated spots frequented by nudists. It is possible to walk but bicycle rental is around €5/day and opens up much more scope (€20/day could get you a scooter – but be careful of gravelly corners). - [Agistri](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/agistri/) - In general, the Saronics are not ideal for naturism. First of all, the number of beaches is limited. Second, due to the close proximity to Athens, many travellers visit the Saronics over the weekends, especially during main season. Third, if a beach is frequented by non-naturist Greek visitors, nudism may well cause offence. However, from every rule there is an exception … Agistri is a tiny pine covered island opposite Aegina, which has only recently opened its doors to tourism. As a result it holds onto its original charm, despite being so close to Athens and the popular islands of the Saronic Gulf. The ancient name of the island is Kekrifalea which means head-dress. Under that name HOMER first refers to Agistri as Aegina’s ally in the Trojan Wars and so do later historians. To date, digging has revealed various interesting finds which show that the island was inhabited 25000 years ago. You will note that throughout this short article I have spelt the names of the towns and islands differently – this appears to be as the Greeks do it, for example *I*INA, AEGINA, EGINA and ÂGINE are the same place, so as the saying says “When in Rome…”. There are only three settlements as such on Agistri island. Most holidaymakers stay either at the little port of Skala with its gently shelving crescent sandy beach, or twenty-five minutes walk away along the island’s main road at Milos, another quiet village with a man-made beach. Both villages have a selection of simple tavernas, bars and shops but they are by no means lively resorts. The island is approximately 2 hours by ferry from Piraeus Port (Athens) to Skala, or 45 minutes with the hydrofoils of the “Flying Dolphin” fleet to Milos. Car ferries go to Skala. All ferry connections from Pireaus to Agistri include a short stop in Aegina. There is also an ‘Agistri express’ from Aegina (€5.50) to both ports, but this only runs in the mornings. Well, that is what the Tourist brochures say about Agistri and it’s all true. There is now one bank on the island and two cash machines, several elderly taxis and one bus, which runs the full length of the island and back with a handwritten timetable by the church at Skala. In Skala there are three “supermarkets” each as big as your local corner shop, but eating out can be cheap. You can walk from one end of the island to the other in approximately 2 hours but if it’s hot take plenty of supplies with you as there are no tavernas on the way and only one at Limenaria. The walk is well worth the effort as some of the views are great. A correspondent from 1999 thought most of the tavernas on the island were of a good standard – in particular recommended “Toxotis” in Skala which they thought was excellent value, with a very good standard of food and a most amenable host – Spiros – who looked after them very well. - [Kythera](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/kythera/) - Kythera is excellent for nudism and is generally quiet and not over-run with tourists. The island is greener than Aegean islands and has a large number of beaches, ranging from small coves to long strands, and it would take a long holiday to visit all of them – the ferry/tourist map shows 35! A car is desirable as there is little public transport. The seas are crystal clear and warm, but the winds, often light and variable in the mornings, sometimes become quite strong in the afternoon and evening, due to the island’s isolated position. The main “round Greece” shipping lanes pass between Elafonissos and Kythera. The smaller beaches tend to be occupied in high season by Greek groups, which are also spaced at intervals along some of the bigger ones on the east coast. The following is compiled from visitors’ reports from 2009 onwards. Kythera island is a secret gem! Accessible by plane and either from Pireus (6h 30min) or from Neapolis, Lakonia (1h 15min) ports, it’s quiet and remote. Traditional production also caters for tourists (like olive oil, honey, rusks, local wine, ect). During our visit there any swimsuit was really useless (June 2017). No bathing suit required in July 2020 either. - [Poros](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/poros/) - [Spetses](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/spetses/) - [Sporades](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/sporades/) - [Alonissos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/alonissos/) - Alonissos is a very scenic island, still well off the beaten track. Perhaps not brilliant for the naturist, although there are certainly possibilities. Two reports sum up the situation: “Using your guide and The Rough Guide to Greek Islands we travelled the whole island. Every beach is gorgeous and some nudity is possible but you are more likely to be on your own all day or see maybe one other person. It was bliss. The peace and quiet was outstanding but there is certainly no dedicated nudist beach.” And the second: “We went bare on most other beaches and am sure that outside the Greek holiday period going nude is easy. We and another couple independent of us found during this period that many small beaches were naturist during the morning. However, after about midday, even on some relatively remote beaches, they can often become crowded by textiles arriving in cars, on scooters and from the sea – there is a lot of boat hire on the island.” Some Barefoot reporters found the best beaches (well, coves really) some distance north east of the Aghios Dimitri beach. The only way to get there, unless one wants to hack through km of scrub, is to hire a motor boat from the port (Patitiri). The boats are open with 15hp motors and will easily get you to these remote coves. Lovely crystal clear water and even a blue cave which you can pilot your little boat right into. Only downside of the coves is that they are shingly, not a great deal of space and zero facilities. - [Evia](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/evia/) - Evia is the second largest island in Greece after Crete. It is joined to the mainland by a bridge at Halkis. - [Skiathos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/skiathos/) - A very popular island with the package tour trade. Peaceful it is not. It can get very crowded. - [Skopelos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/skopelos/) - Skopelos has gained unprecedented fame as the site of much of the filming for Mamma Mia. However, although unusually busy, the indications are that it has not significantly affected the island’s nudist beaches. - [Skyros](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/skyros/) - A wonderfully scenic island. Please would someone remedy my sad lack of photographs? - [NE Aegean](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/ne-aegean/) - [Fourni](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/fourni/) - Fourni is described in Frewin Poffley’s guide as one of the last few remaining unspoilt islands in Greece. - [Chios](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/chios/) - Chios is a naturist paradise, if one is prepared to put a bit of effort into the holiday. The island is littered with small, secluded beaches, perfect for people who prefer nature to crowded “developed” places. But there is also a high “textile-factor” all around the island, and not even topless sunbathing on the most popular beaches, as there are almost no visitors except Greeks. Chios as a tourist-island is not over-exploited, mostly due to runway (!) regulations. Many visitors come to like this “25 year set-back” in Greek touristic history. The island has very few tourists, only 7 charter planes arrive each week, limited by the size of the airport. This means that the locals are not fed-up with tourists, there is no jet-set-party-all-night crowd, and everything runs at a wonderfully slow pace. You should rent a car or motorbike, as there is a lot to see and do around the island (but the Captain advises you to take great care if you do rent a motorbike). The best beaches are on the western coast. We found places that were easily accessible, but so deserted that we would have 100 metres of sand beach absolutely to ourselves. We could even go for long walks nude, the only thing bothering us was the spiky bushes that grow everywhere. Crime rate equals nil at Chios, so leaving our things at the beach was no worry. Most beaches are pebble – not sandy – beaches. In July the water was so warm we could swim forever. If you don’t want to hire a car or bike, you should explore the coast around the village where you are staying. There’s a good chance that you would find a nice, private little bay 200 – 300 metres away from the public beach. We found one of those, and on a crowded day there were six people on a 70 metre beach. West Coast of the island is scarcely populated and offers the best lonely beaches. South beaches are isolated too and nice but, except Mavros Gialos, tthe others are not populated by naturists. The east coast is where most of the tourism business resides, along with many private houses owned by Greeks. Beaches are organized and not wild and immersed in the nature like on the south and west coasts. If you take your starting point here be prepared to ride at least 40 minute to get to the first beach suitable for naturists. Although in Chios there are so few tourists and the island is so big that you may find a spot here too. So, if you don’t mind bringing your own lunch to the beach, and don’t mind walking a bit, then Chios is truly paradise (no serpents nor apples). Barefoot reporters say they explored the island for two weeks without ever having to wear swimwear. - [Ikaria](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/ikaria/) - [Lesbos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/lesbos/) - place names The island is generally referred to as Lesvos (less often Lesbos) (Λέσβος). The capital is generally called Mytilini (Μυτιληνη). However it appears that the two names are interchangeable: either can refer to the island and either can refer to the capital. Similarly, the second town goes by two names: Mithymna (Μηθυμνα) & Molyvos (Μολυβος). The locals seem to use the latter (older) name, but the people who make road signs the former. Worth knowing if you’re driving around… Lesbos is generally a good destination for naturists with many lovely beaches and, it seems, a tolerant attitude towards nudity. Some of the naturists are local. Few of the beaches have that typical ‘white’ Aegean look, because the island is volcanic making the beach sand and stones somewhat darker in colour. Nevertheless, most of the beaches have their attractions and many are wonderful. Lesbos is the 3rd largest Greek island. It is located in the far east of the Aegean, tucked into a corner of Turkey… which is as close as 10km in places. As you move around the island expect your mobile to welcome you to Turkey or to Greece at unexpected times. (Calls in Turkey can be a lot more expensive than in Greece, so keep an eye on this.) Matt Barrett’s Travel Guide to Lesvos is a great source of further information [http://www.lesvos.com getting to Lesbos 6174285657_cde47e76b8_m.jpg by air Mytilini (Μυτιληνη) Airport (MJT) has several daily services from Athens and some from Thessaloniki, Heraklion, Limnos & Rhodes. There also appear to be weekly-ish, seasonal direct services from London Gatwick, Manchester, Oslo, Amsterdam & possibly others. It’s a nice small airport, 6km south of the town, with a beach about 20m from the entrance. When driving there, look for signs to Aεροδρόμιο or ΑΕΡΟΔΡΟΜΙΟ: in at least 2 places the sign with “Airport” only appears after the junction. by sea An overnight ferry from Piraeus to Mytilini town operates 6 days a week. It’s quite a fun way to travel, but maybe only if you can afford to take a cabin. There are other services too, but they take some tracking down. Web searches mostly lead you to the archaic, frustrating http://www.ferries.gr/booking/ Greek Ferries site… which actually does work, despite unpromising signs. getting about by car Car hire is car hire, but a few points particular to Lesvos: many roads in towns & villages are particularly narrow, so go for a really small car… especially if you’re visiting Molyvos. a good map is never a bad idea. In 2011, one Barefooter couple found the 1:70,000 Road Explorer map (map no. 212) almost perfect. (A street map of Molyvos would have made it even better). Mytilini is pretty nightmarish: poor signposting, an unforgiving one-way system, and levels of driving aggression that would impress Athenians. It’s particularly bad in the morning rush hour (i.e. just after the ferry arrives), so plan carefully and consider spending some time visiting the town until the rush dies down. read your booking confirmation carefully. It’s quite possible for a Budget car to be booked out by a guy wearing a Eurohire shirt in an office with Sixt on the window (while the Budget office remains closed). watch out for the F->E trap, whereby the cheapest headline rate turns out to be rather expensive: you’re required to buy a full tank of petrol when you pick up the car, at a very premium price that you can’t establish in advance. by bus As on many Greek islands, bus services are surprisingly wide-ranging, punctual, cheap, comfortable… and inscrutable. As of 2011, the operator – KTEL – doesn’t appear to put its timetables online. But Sappho Travel does (albeit a year old). In travel, as in many things, Matt Barrett’s Travel Guide to Lesvos is a great source of further information [http://www.lesvos.com/]. - [Limnos / Lemnos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/limnos/) - Lemnos has about a hundred beaches which are scattered all over the island! Most of these beaches are good and fairly large clean sandy beaches with clear water. Many of them are good for nudism except in the time from End of July to 15th of August, when many Greek families from Athens and the mainland visit their former villages. Limnos has missed, as yet, the tourist boom, and Frewin Poffley says that the island culture now sadly lacking elsewhere has survived here. Evidently there are also some beautiful beaches, but as yet the Captain has received few reports of nudism there. - [Samos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/samos/) - Barefoot reporters advise that the first thing to get is a ROAD EDITION map of the island – 4.20 Euros from tourist information, this map has great detail and all the beaches and roads are marked. [Hearing that RE have gone bust, the brand to get now is Anavasi.] - [Samothrace](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/samothrace/) - There are many lonely beaches at Samothrace/Samothraki which are perfect for nudism, and also the natural pools along the river Fonias. There is no mass tourism and therefore you can find quite a number of lonely beaches. Unfortunately most beaches are pebble beaches! The island is particularly popular with young Greeks who indulge in the hippie culture. That’s why nudism is quite common. - [Thassos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/thassos/) - Thassos is a is a beautiful green island only a half-hour ferry ride from the mainland where the charter flights come into Kavala airport. Previous reading of the Naturist Guide to Europe (and Phil Vallack) had suggested several suitable beaches around the island. In midsummer, when many Eastern European tourists drive to the island by car, it is more difficult to enjoy nudism. The best times are May/June and September/October. In the off-season you can swim naked almost everywhere. For the “non-beach” times there are plenty of other interesting places to visit and Thassos town provides an interesting place to eat in the evenings. Where you stay depends on your priorities and on transport. For more infos see here. Thassos island has an excellent coastal road and the round trip is 96 km. There are few roads going into the centre and none that go across. It is possible to drive all the way round in about 2.5 hours. This itself is a problem from the point of view of naturist beaches, because the coast road overlooks most of the beaches so privacy is a little difficult to find. The north west coast is very rocky so opportunities there look a bit limited. The tourist season is from June to end of September. During that time the beaches are crowded and nudism is a bit difficult. Meanwhile (2017) even the smallest bay is commercialized with beach bars, loungers and parasols. From October to May the island is deserted and most beaches are suitable for nudism. - [Mainland](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/mainland/) - [Athens](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/athens/) - Believe it or not, the Captain hears that there are nude beaches within reasonably easy reach of Athens. - [Epirus](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/epirus/) - In Epirus (west of Greece) the Captain hears there is a coastline of about 70 Km, where you can find uncrowded beaches and go nude. - [Halkidiki](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/halkidiki/) - Halkidiki is a territory in northern Greece near Thessaloniki. It ends in three narrow pieces of land, like the prongs of a rather wide fork. In recent years many Bulgarian, Romanian and Serbian tourists come by car and they reach even the most remote beaches where flight tourists do not go. This makes it difficult for nudists to find any place at all in high season. - [Macedonia](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/macedonia/) - [Peloponnese](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/peloponnese/) - [Thessaly](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/thessaly/) - [North Cyprus](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/north-cyprus/) - Northern Cyprus is Turkish controlled and can be reached either from Turkey or from Southern side of Cyprus (Greek Side) as long as you provide a valid passport at the Turkish border of Northern Cyprus. At the border you can provide car insurance either for a day/month/year which is compulsory if you decide to use a personal or rented car from the Greek Side. It seems more and more tourists are visiting this part of the island where there are said to be many deserted beaches ideal for nude sunning. As the Northern side is not recognized by international law meaning that tourists cannot take direct flights to the Northern Side (it can only be reached Via Turkey or Southern Cyprus), tourism is the main priority of the locals during summer months and tourists are well treated and tolerated all the time. Unlike Turkey, Northern Cyprus is not a strict Muslim country, locals do not mind tourists sunbathing in the nude provided that they do not overexpose themselves on public beaches and/or in front of families. - [South Cyprus](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/south-cyprus/) - [East Sussex](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/east-sussex/) - [North Yorkshire](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/north-yorkshire/) - [Erikoussa](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/erikoussa/) - Brakini beach on the east coast is completely empty and long naked days are fantastic there. Again, there are opportunities for nude walking in the hills. - [Antipaxos](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/antipaxos/) - Antipaxos is not a naturist holiday venue, unless you manage to rent a villa with a secluded garden. - [Gloucestershire](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/gloucestershire/) - [Kent](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/kent/) - [Italy](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/italy/) - [Trentino-South Tyrol](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/trentino-south-tyrol/) - [Spain](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/spain/) - [Andalusia](https://barefoot.holiday/single-location/andalusia/) - Andalusia is located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, in southwestern Europe.
