First of all, nudism is only acceptable far away from the main parts of the beaches. In the most famous and much crowded beaches, such as Porto Katsiki beach, Kathisma beach, Agiofili beach, etc, don’t take off your swimsuit.

The best options for nudism in Lefkada island for 2025

Now let’s see the good news! There are several secluded beaches or beach parts in Lefkada. You can find easily some places far away from the crowds, where you can take off your clothes safely. Some of the local beaches are long and wide (especially on the west coast and in the north), and most of them are organized only in the central areas.

These coasts are parts of Lefkada nudist beaches, and altough they are not naturism only places, all of these have their own secluded spots, even in high season months.

Agios Ioannis north – Gira west

Agios Ioannis beach is well known for its old, ruined windmills and amazing kitesurf potentials. If you go further to north and leave the windmills, you can find some secluded places for nudism certainly. This part of Agios Ioannis is usually much less visited, even during high season months. This area is quite long between the windmill and Gira beach (Gyra), which can be recommended for naturists.

You have to know there is no natural shade and the winds blow often from west, but if you want to be almost alone and you prefer Lefkada nudist beaches, keep in mind this place.

Pefkoulia beach, south & north

The main part of the amazing Pefkoulia beach is fully organized, because the famous DECK bar operates here. But you have two options if you would like to visit Pefkoulia and you are looking for places for nudism. Find the most southern parts of the beach with large rocks, or go to the north, in the direction of the famous lookout!

Lefkada naturism best spot

The north side of Pefkoulia is slighly better for nudism and we mention often on the list of Lefkada nudist beaches, because the shore is much longer in that region, and your personal space can be also much larger. Natural shades are missing, so you have to bring your own umbrella or beach tent.

Milos beach south

A few years ago the south part (at the giant steep rocky form) was the primary destination for nudists in Mylos beach. But be aware, in recent years this situation changed a lot. This amazing beach on the west coast of Lefkada Island has become much more popular in recent years, and sometimes the taxi boat which take passengers from Agios Nikitas to Mylos, disembark here.

During high season months, especially in July and in August this place can be crowded, so always make sure the actual conditions, and for nudists / naturists this place is much better in early low season or a few weeks after high season.

Kathisma beach

Kathisma beach is very popular beach in Lefkada, and most of the people think this bay doesn’t belong to Lefkada nudist beaches, but don’t worry! Just walk to the most southern point where the large rocks are, and leave the last buildings. After about 100-300 meters there are much less visitors, and usually this place is recommended for naturists, where nudism is allowed in the area of Kathisma beach. This is also the north part of Gaidaros beach, which is connected by a dirt path.

Best places for nudism in Lefkada – Gaidaros beach, Megali Petra beach

Gaidaros beach is one of the best places for nudism in Lefkada. The beach is not crowded and organized as other local beaches, but the natural beauty of the area is indisputable. The second best option for naturism is the the south side of Megali Petra beach, which is also recommended for nudists. Just walk further the large rocks, about 300 meters from the central areas. As several naturists say and we also confirm, probably these two are the best places among Lefkada nudist beaches to enjoy naturism.

Gialos beach

The beach is far away from the crowds and can be also a great location for naturism. Gialos beach is known as one of the most favourite beaches among naturists in Lefkada island, but you have to go further from the organized area.

The lack of Gialos beach for naturism is that the secluded places have larger stones in the sea.

Egremni beach

Before the strong earthquake destroyed the road and the stairs of Egremni beach in 2015, the north and south parts of this long and beautiful beach were recommended destinations for nudism. After the beach was only accessible by boat, Egremni lost its significance for nudism for a few years.

But since 2021 when the asphalt road and the stairs of Egremni were renovated, you can walk down again, this coast belong again to Lefkada nudist beaches. If you arrive in the morning before the crowds and excursion boats, you can find secluded places on both sides.

Nudist beaches on the east coastline of Lefkada Island

On the east coast can’t really find a good one, which belong to Lefkada nudist beaches: most of the east beaches are much smaller, where can’t be find hidden areas or secluded parts which can be recommended all the time.
