About Lageri Beach
Lageri (Laggeri) is the best-known nude beach on Paros, at the north-eastern end of Naoussa bay, about 4 km from Naoussa between the town and Santa Maria beach. The name covers two small bays of fine, pale golden sand backed by large dunes and dense, low scrub, cedars and tamarisks; locals also use it for neighbouring Stefano, a long sand spit ending in a rocky islet. Lageri is entirely unorganised: no bar, canteen, sunbeds or umbrellas. Nude bathing is the norm across most of the beach, though not exclusive, and guides note it is not the best choice for families with children. The water is calm and clear,. Natural shade is limited to a few trees near the dunes, and the midday sun on the sand is fierce, so many visitors come in the late afternoon. The small white chapel of Zoodochos Pigi stands at the start of the path from the parking area. It is quieter than the busy organised beaches of Naoussa, though growing in popularity, and boats from Naoussa harbour also drop visitors here.
Getting there
Drive from Naoussa towards Santa Maria and, about halfway, turn left onto a narrow, unsigned dirt track a few hundred metres long; park where it ends near the chapel of Zoodochos Pigi, then walk down over the dunes (a few minutes; the sand gets very hot). By KTEL bus, get off at the Zoodochou Pigis stop and walk 10-15 minutes. In summer small boats from Naoussa harbour also run to the beach. No wheelchair access over the dunes.
What visitors say
Guides consistently describe Lageri as the island's main unofficial nude beach, quiet and isolated, with soft sand, clear calm water and impressive dunes. Visitors mention that the dirt track is unsigned and hard to find the first time, and that the absence of any services means bringing water, food and an umbrella. Several recommend the late afternoon, when the heat eases. Some note that the neighbouring Stefano beach and the parking area fill up in July and August as the area becomes better known.
