Donoussa
Nude beaches & Remote Relaxation

By deTraci Regula, About.com Guide

Donoussa is part of the "Small Cyclades" huddling under the lea of the much larger island of Naxos. It's popular with nudists and those who really, really want to get away from it all. Because of its remoteness, almost any stretch of sand can be a "nude" beach but Kendros and Livadi are often frequented by the clothesless clan.

Most rooms on Donoussa are concentrated around the small port town of Stavros. At peak times, it is possible that rooms will be hard to find. They also tend to be a little more expensive than you might expect for such a remote island.

Donoussa can be reached by ferry, but even in the high season these are relatively rare. If you choose Donoussa, be ready to stay longer than you intended - if the winds kick up, one or two ferry arrivals or departures may be delayed.

For an amusing look at Donoussa, check out "Why Donoussa Was Not Our Favorite Cycladic Island" though, if you avoid accidentally causing Greek grandmothers to jump off their donkeys, your experience may be different.
