The main nudist beach (also known as Theologians) is located about 10 minutes walk north from the town quay. Follow the

signs towards the camp site, past the Argo Taverna. There is a beach just to the right of the camp site. If you proceed around the

small headland to the right you will come to a smaller beach which is an officially designated nudist beach. A sign defiantly

declares that this has been a nudist beach since the 70s . Many know it as "Camping beach", although the one to the west

(backed by a wall signposted "Camping Antiparos" is probably the correct bearer of this name. Others tell me that the nudist

beach is known as Theologians (so that if you want to tell your friends how you spent your holidays, you say you have been

"practising theology")! In the end it really doesn't matter - just find your way there, strip off and enjoy it. If in doubt, it's the beach

closest to the offshore islands. It is one of three (I think) officially dedicated nudist beaches in Greece. A shame, then, that one

hears that during the high season a large number of textiles use the beach.

The first beach (following the coast in the direction of Ag. Georgos) is the medium sized one, clothing optional. The second is

the main and the bigger beach, with a cheap taverna at 100 metres inland, a little jetty in the middle that divides the beach in two

parts, and the Soros valley at the shoulder. Clothing is optional at the "north" side. This side is shaded by rocks, so early in the

afternoon, there is no sun. The third is the smallest, and could be reached by climbing a little. It is a "four people size beach", with

green stones!

It is about 6km from the town and the last part of the road is very rough but negotiable if very careful in a car (although 4x4 or

car with high clearance would be better).

The far end of the beach away from where you park the car is more sheltered even when the winds are blowing quite strongly. As

the beach is on the west coast it does have real waves that break and can be body-surfed when the wind is blowing - particularly

in August. On calm days it is excellent.

The beach itself is of medium quality sand and there is quite a lot of seaweed which can be a problem when the waves are

dominant. As the beach is remote, and no taverna or shops in sight it tends to attract locals and those wanting to get away from the

crowds. Nudity is accepted right along the beach although those without clothes tend to congregate at the far end way from the

car park. At this end the beach is shallower and more sandy right into the sea. The beach closer to the car park does have rocky

spots in it close to the shore which may catch the unwary. It is possible to walk along the coastline a long way in the nude and I did

this on most days for at least 30 minutes in each direction.
