Way of life

What to know

Naturism can be part of everyday life, recreation or a shared activity in nature. Social nudity describes being nude with others. The International Naturist Federation defines naturism as a way of life that connects communal nudity and harmony with nature with respect for ourselves, others and the environment.

In practice

Naturism takes place in clubs, campsites and resorts, as well as during organised activities in nature. At home, nudity can be part of everyday life.

At naturist clubs, campsites and resorts

Each venue sets its own rules about where and when nudity is permitted. Vritomartis in Crete, for example, has different dress rules for indoor and outdoor spaces.

At home

Home nudism means choosing to spend time without clothes in a private space. In a shared home, the comfort and agreement of everyone who shares the space matter.

During organised outdoor activities

Hiking can be part of a naturist gathering. Check the route and participation rules with the organiser before joining.
