Red Beach, Santorini

July 2004

There's more than one "red beach" in Greece, a name given to any place where the sand is a bit pink or rusty-colored, and several of them are often naturist-friendly. Some sources may confuse the different "Kokkinos Ornos", so be sure which island is meant when you decide to go.

Reader I.P. visited this beach on Santorini in July 2004, finding it a more or less fully-clothed beach despite reports to the contrary. As is usual in Europe, there were a few topless sunbathers but no one sunbathing or swimming in the nude.

The "Red Beach" on the island of Crete is more reliably naturist-friendly.
