Like Hopper and Karen T I prefer the small beach east of Damnoni - and for the same reason as Karen.As Damnoni only got 2 votes one of us must have pt down further afield whilst we all meant the same place. And incidentally Karen the train which you do not like now runs a very good shuttle sevice to Damnoni which cuts out the long walk . Only problem is the doughnut man does not get there until very late in the day and usually as I am leaving . In the few days I spent on the  far end of the main beach though there seemed to be far more people nude than there has been on previous visits  but I think that is pot luck - the first few people to get there each day set the pattern there whereas on the beach east of Damnoni anyone wearing anything looks out of place and you do not get gawpers or people who walk along without realising there  is a naturist beach which happens a lot on the main beach at Plakias

I'd have to disagree with you there Roger. We go to both beaches and have found them equally ok re gawpers. ie. not a problem. Also, the Far End is definitely naturist but naturally, textiles are free to park themselves there as well. I wouldn't say that the first few people there set the pattern. Of course our experience has been in early September - maybe it's different out of season.

For the purposes of this poll, is Mikro Ammoudi part of Damoni or is it 'Further afield'? Or could it have its own entry added?

As Graham and Karen said the Far End is certainly naturist.

We have been in and out season and to our knowledge it has been so for years.

As for "textiles": my husband is not but I am...

For me this is a question of choice while respecting the choice of people wanting to swim and sun in the nude.

On the other hand I can say that in the past I have had a few bad experiences (when it is less crowdy) of "nudist gawpers" or whatever you call this kind of men who, when seeing a woman alone on the beach (husband swimming), try to sneak up to you.

This kind of behaviour is very annoying !

To find info on permitted nuddy areas try www.explorecrete.com/nudism.html

Seems we're in the right area

My wife and I love Plakias but one big drawback is the distance from the airport. The last time we visited we arrived on a night flight then faced a nighmare journey by coach and taxi to Plakias. The taxi driver must have been an ex-Kamakazi pilot as he spent most of the time on the wrong side of the road!!!

The big attraction for us is the naturist part of the beach as we always plan our holidays where we can enjoy the beach in the buff. Is it my imagination but is the naturist section getting smaller? We must fight for our rights.

Yes, defininitely your imagination.

We are creeping towards the textiles at the rate of around 2 sunbeds a year

Whilst we have been fortunate to enjoy such a well serviced naturist beach for many years I doubt whether this gives us any rights. However if you fancy a fight there please post the time and venue and we can organise a team of supporters ... not to mention a posse of photographers

I think the real problem is just that there are more of us now. The beds were noticeably closer together this year. Indeed a little too intimate some days

See you!

it's the closeness of people that put us off micro amoudi, i really don't like turning over on my towel to find i'm staring up someones ....... :'(

if we're feeling lazy we head for the dunes at the far end, but you're more likely to find us at shinaria

have to admit to being a pool person myself, nearly always being there in july i have seen wind like i haven't seen before ( could be like that all year not sure???) i have seen personal belongings blowing down the street and empty sun loungers end up in the pool, and the thought of the beach brings the words ouch! and sand paper to mind  ................talking of the weather did anyone see the picture of plakias xmas 2003 covered in snow.  they were amazing, white and deserted and still very recognisable but very unbelievable at the same time????

I voted for Damnoni, but I really meant the small Beaches further east. Mind you with all these umbrellas etc I don't know if I would still enjoy those.
cheers

i suspect if you saw damnoni these days you wouldn't have voted for it, half is taken up by the umbrellas of the time share villas opposite to that is the derelict hotel complex

Uli,

I like your photograph. I must never have stood in that position as I have never noticed the shape of a face on the rock on the right hand side. Somehow you make the beach look bigger than it is.
