About Kolympethres Beach
Current status: Kolymbithres is no longer described as a nude beach. The sources say informal nudity is now found mainly in the rocky coves further away, and that most naturists on Paros go to Lageri. Kolymbithres is a granite beach on Paros with giant boulders worn smooth by the sea, forming small coves that give some privacy. A guide says nude people once proliferated among the rocks, and that some privacy remains there, though not much in high season. Nude swimming is also reported just beyond the beach, around Monasteri. The main beach now has families, sunbeds and tavernas, and the sources describe it as busy. Nothing I found names a council, owner or law that changed the situation at Kolymbithres, and no date is given for when nudity faded. Nude use is informal rather than sanctioned, and the sources do not say whether the beach has ever been officially recognised as naturist.
Getting there
My sources do not give driving directions, bus times or parking costs for Kolymbithres. They describe the main beach as busy with sunbeds and tavernas. Privacy is found among the rock formations and coves, which means walking over boulders away from the main strip. Paths, step-free access and the walk-in time were not described in the sources I found, so check locally before going.
What visitors say
Visitors describe a busy, family-oriented main beach with sunbeds and tavernas, and a set of coves where some privacy remains. One guide says nudity is most likely away from the main strip, and that the nudists of Paros go to Lageri. Accounts of current nudity are scarce and undated, so treat them with caution.

Legal context
Nudity at Kolymbithres was informal, and I found no official ruling, sign or penalty about it in my sources. The sources do not describe any enforcement action at the beach.
Naturism at Kolympethres Beach sits under Greece's rules for de facto tolerance — usually left alone if you keep it non-sexual and low-drama.
