5 Places for Naturism in Greece
Greece is still a very traditional place and though naturism is tolerated, officially it is not allowed, except at Vritomartis. This means that naturists will need to keep the local people’s sensibilities in mind even as the many secluded tucked-away beaches and coves make this a naturist’s haven. The south coast of Crete has the best beaches where you can bare all and swim in the sea. Here are five places for naturism in Greece.
1. Gavados Island - Situated in the middle of the Libyan sea, the quiet beaches here are 80 percent naturist. The sandy and rocky terrain and tranquil atmosphere makes it an irresistible naturist hotspot.
2. Sougia - A favourite destination of naturists because of its great beaches and trekking routes, Sougia still remains a small quiet village with scenic vistas.
3. Agia Roumeli - This remote village’s uniquely Cretan background, high mountains, deserted beaches, and the blue waters of the Libyan sea make it a beautiful place to commune with nature.
4. Sfakia - Located in southwest Crete, Sfakia has scenic mountains, gorges and beaches, great cuisine and a hospitable culture, all of which make it a must visit place, especially if you are a practicing naturist.
5. Kommos Beach Matala - The birthplace of the Mediterranean sea-turtle, this naturist beach on southern Crete offers great facilities for swimming and nude sunbathing; it also has many Greek taverns that serve mouth-watering food.
Other popular naturist frequented spots in Greece are the Red Beach, the Paleochora Beach, the Sweet Water beach, and the only official Greek naturist resort, Vritomartis.
