Non-sexual social naturism

Freedom in our bodies.
Respect for each other.

Naturism as a way to enjoy nature, accept our bodies and share space with respect. For those who already embrace it and those who would like to explore it.

01 / Naturism

A natural connection
with your body and nature.

Naturist Karystos shares information about non-sexual social naturism and introduces visitors to Karystos and South Evia with respect for local communities and the environment.

01

What is naturism?

Choosing to spend time unclothed, on your own or with others, while respecting yourself, other people and the environment.

02

Nudity and sexuality

Social naturism is not a sexual invitation. An uncovered body does not give permission for unwanted advances or photography.

03

The choice remains yours

You can be curious, ask questions or disagree. Nobody needs to participate to prove that they are free or open-minded.

02 / First time

First time?
Let’s begin with your questions.

Learning is a first step. You don’t need to have decided before talking to us.

First time as a family

Talk beforehand and listen to every family member. Nobody — adult or child — needs to undress or take part unwillingly. Choose a venue that welcomes families, check its rules and plan an easy return. Parents and guardians remain responsible for supervising children. Respect privacy and avoid photographing other families. This information is for parents; contact and community submissions are for adults.

What can I expect the first time?

An everyday activity such as swimming or relaxing in a setting where nudity is part of the experience. Your comfort depends on the setting, conditions and other people’s behaviour. You can leave or stop at any time.

What should I bring?

A towel to sit on, drinking water, appropriate sun protection, footwear suitable for the terrain and clothes for arriving and leaving. Check the weather and local rules beforehand.

How do I choose a suitable place?

Look for recent, reliable information about use, rules, access and conditions. A secluded beach or an online post alone does not confirm that naturism is permitted or that a location is suitable.

What if I feel shy about my body?

You don’t need to change your appearance before exploring naturism. You can start with a conversation and share only what you wish. Your hesitation deserves respect.

What if my partner is not interested?

Talk about what feels comfortable and where your boundaries lie. You don’t need to share the same preference. Consent cannot come from persistence or pressure.

How can this initiative help me?

We can discuss your questions, share experiences and help you assess the information you need. We are not a resort, a booking service or a guarantee of conditions at any location.

03 / Respect

Respect is expressed
through our behaviour.

Personal boundaries always apply, whatever someone is wearing.

01

Consent for photographs

Ask for clear permission before taking or sharing someone’s photograph. Being present is not consent.

02

Personal space

Avoid staring, comments on bodies and unwanted advances. Accept a “no” immediately.

03

Hygiene and nature

Sit on your own towel, take your rubbish with you and follow the rules of the setting.

If your boundaries are crossed, you can move away and seek help from the venue’s staff or an appropriate authority, depending on the situation.

04 / Bodies & stories

Room for every body.
Room for your voice.

Weight, scars, age and changes to your body do not diminish your right to dignity and joy.

Your body does not need anyone’s approval. Your choices and boundaries are yours.

We make room for women to discuss stereotypes and objectification, and for people of different ages to share their experiences. Real stories are published only with permission. You can contact us about your own experience without committing to publication.

05 / South Evia

Karystos & South Evia

The sea, the landscape and the human stories of this region are part of our identity. We want to explore them with care for residents and the environment.

01

Beaches and access

The beach map lists access information and sources for each location. Check local rules and conditions before visiting.

02

Nature routes

Exploration requires attention to seasonal conditions, preparation and respect for trails and private property.

03

Stays and services

We provide practical information on accommodation and services. Contact each business directly to ask about its rules.

First time? Start here

  1. Choose where to go

    Open the map and choose Karystos or Marmari. Select a spot for its location and available access notes. Check parking and any walk to the beach before you leave. In Marmari, you could start with a walk at Megali Ammos, which is listed as a swimming spot.

  2. Take your time when you arrive

    Check the signs and see how people are using the space that day. Put down your towel, swim in your swimsuit if you like, and see how you feel.

  3. If you feel shy, you have options

    Keep a towel or something to wear within reach. You can cover up, move or leave whenever you want, without having to explain.

A walk or a swim in your swimsuit is enough for a first visit. Go at your own pace.

How to try it at your own pace

Start simply. Read the guide first and take what feels useful. Choose a quiet spot and go for a short visit. Bring clothes with you and get dressed whenever you like.

If you feel uncomfortable, you can leave at any time without explaining. You have nothing to prove to anyone. Feeling at ease takes time.

A space that respects women, too

We know that many women hesitate because of past experiences or fear of being objectified. In this initiative, we treat nudity with respect. Boundaries apply to everyone. Please refrain from commenting on other people’s bodies. Women are welcome and respected here.

If you’d like to share a thought or an experience, you can contact us anonymously or use your name. It’s entirely up to you.

Get in touch

Will I feel comfortable there?

If you wonder whether other women will be there, it makes sense to want to know. The atmosphere and the people there vary from day to day. You can go with a friend or choose a spot where you feel comfortable and can leave easily.

No one should photograph you without your explicit consent. If someone makes you uncomfortable, you can move away immediately. You decide how long to stay and what to wear.
