About Vritomartis Naturist Resort
Vritomartis is a licensed naturist hotel just outside Chora Sfakion on the south coast of Crete, below the White Mountains and a scenic drive from Chania. It has 85 rooms with 161 beds: 42 rooms over two floors of the main building and 43 in eight separate bungalows, plus a group of 'Hidden Ladies Suites'. The hotel runs on a half-board basis, with buffet breakfast and dinner of Greek, Cretan and international dishes on an extended terrace, a lounge bar overlooking the gardens and a pool bar serving lunch. The heart of the resort is a 25-metre pool, set in lawns and gardens and reserved for naturists, with a separate children's pool. There is also a tennis court, a gym, a sauna and hydromassage (extra charge), and free Wi-Fi and parking. From sunrise to sunset, all outdoor areas are naturist or clothing optional. The resort's own beach, Filaki, is a pebble cove about 700 metres away with a snack bar, toilets, showers and rental sunbeds and umbrellas, linked by a free shuttle. Boat trips, diving, hikes and winery visits are organised.
Legal context & local rules
Vritomartis is a licensed naturist hotel, and nudity is lawful on its grounds and at its beach. Elsewhere in Greece public nudity is formally prohibited outside designated areas, though tolerated on many remote beaches.
Greece legalised nudism through Law No. 1399/1983 passed by the Greek Parliament in 1983. This law permits nudism exclusively at designated naturist resorts and beaches, making Greece one of the first countries to legislatively recognise naturism. Public nudity outside of designated official naturist areas can result in legal penalties. Within designated FKK areas and naturist resorts, nudity is fully legal and protected.

More naturist places in Greece
View all in Greece →Achivadolimni and Mavra Gremna
Achivadolimni is a long sandy beach on the inner shore of Milos Bay, east of the port of Adamas, below the slopes of Profitis Ilias. It is sheltered and shallow, with fine white sand, few stones and calm, warm water, and trees give some shade. One end has a beach bar with sunbeds; the rest is unorganised and quiet. Naturists use the eastern (right-hand, facing the sea) part, away from the bar, where there are several secluded pockets; this is informal use, not a designated area. North winds can make it unpleasant, and some plastic washes up at the western end.

Ag Ioannis
A tiny, secluded pebble cove of about 55 metres below the Agios Ioannis Eleimonas monastery in south-west Samos, inside a Natura 2000 protected area. Reaching it takes a dirt road and a short walk, so it rarely sees crowds, and local listings say visitors dress or undress as they please. There are no facilities apart from a drinking-water fountain at the monastery. The sheltered bay usually has calm, very clear water. Few sources confirm regular nude use, so expect to find the place empty or with a mixed group.
Ag. Nikolaos Beach
Agios Nikolaos is a sandy bay on the Anavyssos coast of south-east Attica, about 50 minutes by car from central Athens. It takes its name from the small white chapel of St Nicholas on the rocky knoll above the shore, a popular spot for weddings and christenings. The main beach is a wide strip of sand with an organised section run by a beach bar with sunbeds, snacks, beach volleyball and canoes, while the left side of the bay is a sheltered anchorage full of moored private boats. Nude bathing does not happen on the main beach. Instead, naturists climb over the knoll to a small secluded cove beyond it, and Greek forum posts point to the far left end of the bay as the place to go. Guides note that the cove is small and fills quickly, so it suits a handful of people rather than a crowd. The beach was once a locals' secret but now gets busy on July and August weekends, which makes the quiet cove more valuable and also means clothed bathers pass nearby. Reports from Greek forums suggest the spot attracts mainly men, and some posters describe it as less comfortable for women or couples.
Ag.Nikolaos Beach (Spoa)
Ag.Nikolaos Beach (Spoa) is a nudist-friendly beach in Greece. Nudity is optional.
