Crete - Naturist Beaches
While there are no "official" nude beaches, this detailed guide lets you find the secluded ones for yourself.
Crete - Sweetwater Beach
This popular beach is accessible only by water or a long hike, but sunbathers of all types - nude or suited - enjoy this long, beautiful but pebbly shore.
Nude Beaches by Sea Kayak
No, the kayaking isn't done in the nude but this very reasonably-priced tour from Northwest Passage visits many remote beaches by kayak, including Matala's famous Red Beach and many others. (It's also got to be one of the coolest ways to arrive short of parachuting onto the sand!)
