History & philosophy

Naturist Karystos · 05/11/2026

What to know

The international definition of naturism was adopted in 1974. It connects living close to nature and communal nudity with respect for oneself, others and the environment.

In practice

Naturism also describes a way of sharing space: caring for the setting, respecting boundaries and taking part in everyday activities without sexual expectations. Participation is not a condition for respecting these values.
