Beaches:

Limanakia

Rocky waterfront for nudists and gay cruising, by Vouliameni Lake. Take express bus E22 from Academia in Saronida direction, get off at the third stop in Limanakia. Follow trails from the parking lot canteen, across rocks to the sea. The gay-frequented area covers 3 coves between south suburbs of Vouliagmeni and Varkiza. No sand here, dive into the water from the rocks where naked men tan. Bring drinking water to make it until sunset when it gets even more cruisy.

Mavro Lithari

Three small beaches below the roadside guard-rails along Athens to Sounion road, after Saronida park just past the hotel there, and walk looking for steps leading down to the water.

Panorama

Popular beach on Athens to Corinth road. Turn right after third tunnel at Kinetta-Panorama exit, bear left and park along the road. Walk about 20 minutes and look for people.

Ramrounta

One of best nudist beaches in Athens area, near the archaeological site, take road right in direction of Limnionas, just before the village of Grammatiko.

Riba's

Below the rocks at Riba's after Varkiza, on Athens to Sounio road. Popular nude beach, open sand but difficult access.
