Iraklia

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.

According to a report following a visit in May 2002 there are two large official looking No Camping signs, one at the start of the beach and the other where campers would camp. There is general nudity at the far end of Livadi beach and no reference to it on the signs. It looked as if two local nudists also used the beach in late afternoon. My contributor rated it 30%.

In June 2004, Barefoot reporters were able to go nude all the time on the right hand side of Livadi beach (facing the sea). Nudism was normal both for the tourists and for the locals (95 % nudes).  Camping in tents was forbidden, but sleeping-bags were tolerated. Only on Saturday and Sunday a few local textiles settled on the left side of the beach for a short time (one or two hours), but there were no problems because the locals were very tolerant. 

You can rent a cheap room in the village-port (20 € for two people, including breakfast, in 2004) and to 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.
