Vithisma beach

Vithisma (Vythisma) is a small, isolated cove on the south coast of Alonissos in the Northern Sporades, south of Chora in the bay between Marpounta and Megalos Mourtias. It is a beach of pebbles and shingle that shelves steeply into deep, very clear water, framed by pine trees that give some natural shade at the back. There are no facilities at all. Vithisma is the beach most often named as the nude beach of Alonissos: the Swedish island guide Kalispera calls it the island's official nudist beach, and allovergreece notes that it is marked as a nudist beach and that you will not be the only one undressed. Nudity is the norm across the cove rather than in a separate section. Because the path down is steep and the beach is small, it never gets very crowded; visitors are mainly couples and naturists staying on the island, plus some arriving by boat from Patitiri. The surrounding sea is part of the National Marine Park of Alonissos and the Northern Sporades, so the water is exceptionally clean.
