Between Vouliagmeni and Varkisa, on the coast of the Saronic Gulf, about 25 km South of

the center of Athens. Vouliagmeni is a wealthy suburb of Athens, with a lot of private

beaches and bars, and once you leave it following the coast road to Varkiza (also continuing

further to Sounion Cape), it becomes completely deserted, not a single house. On this cape

there are several rocky coves used for nude sunbathing and swimming. Swimming is good if

you don't mind starting from the rocks.

You can go by taxi or by bus .

By taxi : ask to go to the shore (akt ), 2km after the Vouliagmeni lake, at the

"limanakia". Landmarks: a bus stop that says "B Limanaki" (vita limanaki) on both sides of

the road; on the land side of the road there is a bar with a blue roof -- it's the only building on

that side of the road. Tell to the taxi driver to go to "LIMANAKIA"

(as called by all people in Athens ) .

By bus : direct from Athens (summer only): E2-thita, E1-thita (thita is the letter that's like a 0 with a horizontal stroke). Other

than in summer: take any bus to Glyfada and from the terminus take 115 (every hour) or 116 (every half hour). One can also get

off at Vouliagmeni and walk along the road (there is a path between the road and the rocks).

There is plenty of space and many men and women swimming nude.

The various coves have different demographics. Immediately past the entrance to Vouliagmeni lake there is a tiny sand beach

(textile). As one continues walking away from Vouliagmeni there is 1km of rocks (occasional nude use), then a fairly large rocky

cove, then more rocks, then three coves in succession. These three little coves are the known as the "limanakia". The first of

them has a Greek flag, a snack bar, and a pedal-boat rental business, and is all textile. The next two are 90% nude. These coves

are all packed during the summer time especially during the weekends and in the afternoon till late evening You can swim nude in

most of the rocky bays between Varkiza until Cape Sounion.

Destination from Athens, 63 km to Sounio, there is Legrena beach. Follow the sign. At the end if the non asphalt road there are plenty of nudists.
