We were not too bothered about beaches whilst on holiday but did like to finish off a 10 or 15 mile walk at a beach in the late afternoon - preferably where we could strip off and go for a nude swim and sunbathe. Our most favourite Symi beach was Vasilios Beach - this Simi Beach is usually ok for naturists, no beach chairs, few if any people, no tavernas but just a great scenic wild looking beach.
Note that there is not even a track to Vasilios beach so getting there involves a fairly long walk - sometimes the path wanders along half way up the side of a valley and
is quite narrow in places - and then actually getting onto the beach involves scrambling down the side of a cliff for a few metres which is a
little difficult.. and of course you do have a longish but enjoyable walk back too.
We have made comments on some of the beaches as to how we found them ie. cleanliness, what the sea was like
and if they were possibly suitable for or used by nudists and naturists. Please note that beaches
that we found to be ok for nudists on one day may not be on another - it
is frequently the case especially on the small/more isolated beaches that
the first people on the beach set the standard of dress for that day. Needless to
say as it's a Greek island then it is fine and acceptable for women to go topless on most of the beaches.
As mentioned most of these Symi beach photos were taken during our various
walks around the island (there is information on our walks to
be found via our main Symi Walks page (located here),
and in fact some of the beaches are only accessible by not too well
surfaced dirt tracks or sometimes only paths or by small ferry boat - but
of course it is great exploring coastlines on paths and tracks and
discovering your own isolated tiny cove or beach.
