Cape Greco (Kavo Gkreko) is the rocky headland at the south-east corner of Cyprus, between Ayia Napa and Protaras. Most of it is a protected national forest park of low cliffs, sea caves and limestone shelves, with a few small sandy coves such as Konnos Bay on its northern side. There is no designated nude beach here. Instead, a few naturist sources recommend the cape's quieter, harder-to-reach coves and rock platforms for discreet nude bathing, and a hiking-app highlight near the cape is labelled 'Nudist Beach' with a note that it is good for a skinny dip.

Because the beach is several kilometres long and remote, there is usually plenty of space. There are no lifeguards and little natural shade.
