Links about Greece

In addition to the links below there are now lots of sites featuring individual islands.

The Greek Indexer
This site has a vast number of links to other Greek information resources

Greek Travel Pages - includes a comprehensive guide to Greek domestic sea schedules - essential information for any Greek island hopper

Greek Island Hopping.com - a support page for the excellent guide book "Independent Traveller's Greek Island Hopping" by Frewin Poffley. The guide book itself - which the Captain highly recommends - is kind enough to quote this site in its list of internet links, but try as I might I have not been able to get the link updated to www.barefoot.info.

greeceholidays.biz - Very colourful site with lots of information. The most popular and comprehensive travel guide to Greece! Also the biggest Greece directory with travel related sites.

Greeka.com - colourful and comprehensive site with lots of information about many Greek islands, including travel, hotels, car hire and beaches - well worth a visit.

Olympic Airways - the OA homepage includes timetable information for domestic flights between Athens and the Islands

The Hellas Home Page - a Hellenic page with lots of local and cultural information

Greek Landscapes.com - very neatly assembled collection of photographs and reflections designed to reflect the natural and cultural landscapes of Greece, and the physical beauty that makes the country unique, which the site owner hopes can bring the magic to those who cannot be there.

Amorgos - the Secret Jewel of the Cyclades - a page by a tour operator based on the island, operating mainly walking and special interest tours but (I am assured) boasting a knowledge of numerous beaches suitable for naturism.

Greek Islands according to Rune Alnervik A very personal site about Greece with lots of impressions especially of the Cyclades and Dodecanese, including information about nude beaches there. Very professionally put together.

Ostraco's Plakias page, a rapidly expanding site dedicated to the Southern Crete resort, created by a regular visitor who evidently has great affection for the place.

Greek naturist accommodation

Vritomartis Hotel - naturist hotel in south-western Crete. Read Barefooters' reports of staying there here.

Vasaliki Naturist Club (also known as Vigla Natura) in Kephalonia, due to open in 2007. The advertising blurb asks, "Why not cast away your cares (and clothes) for a life-affirming visit to experience your very own slice of paradise?"

Fig Leaf Villas - a new naturist-friendly resort in the Peloponnese, with its own pool, 1.5 km from the sea where there are suitable beaches for naturism. It looks stunning on the web site. The webmasters say: "Feel free to wander around naked and relax in the beautiful secluded gardens." The web site also includes a guide to the nearby beaches.

Villa Atreides Villa offering naturist accommodation in Corfu. The future of this resort is uncertain, however, as it is currently for sale.

Greek Naturist web sites

This is a mixture of general, personal and commercial sites.

Nude beaches in Greece - part of the About.com guide to Greece for visitors.

How to visit a nude beach in Greece - The Captain's advice: 1. Find a suitable beach. 2. Take off your clothes. 3. Er ... 4. That's it. Not enough? Well the people at About.com have put together some guidance aimed at first-timers - it even specifies "difficulty level - average; time required, 2 hours." The Captain's rating: difficulty level - 0, time required - as long as possible, preferably at least 2 weeks!

Nudist Club Greece - This site opens promisingly with the exhortation, "Go naked, go Greece!" To be honest, the Captain has mixed feelings about this site; it seems to be something of a work in progress - also you will find one or two passages and photos directly lifted from this site. That said, there is some useful information.

Happy Nature - a poetic naturist web site - beautifully done. Huge numbers of photos accompanied by poems, some by Isabelle herself - here's an example of the flavour: "Dancing with the sun, Feeling the sun's tender bite all over my naked skin."

Naturism in Crete, part of the extensive Visit West Crete web site which offers a Crete holiday guide featuring unspoilt Crete away from large resorts.

Nude and Nature in Crete, a colourful page with photographs of some naturist beaches in Southern Crete, including features on Gavdos Island.

The Naked World - a collection of world-wide naturist destinations including pictures, with a large page about the Greek Islands

Creation of Pan-Hellenic Association of Nudists - This potentially important event in the development of Greek naturism is marked with a web site. For the moment it is mostly in Greek only with some translation into English. But even without Greek you can still get access to photographs of Greek beaches, maps and even a vote on what you would like a Pan-Hellenic association of nudists to achieve.
