Georgioupolis Nude Beach
18.8.08
There are always some naturists about halfway between the Paradise and Posidon bars and the shallow river which is about 1 Km to their east, and there is no hassle with the textiles strolling up and down the beach and occasionally settling in the middle of the naturists. (The Posidon's sign is almost invisible from the road and the Paradise's is almost invisible from the beach.)
Along this stretch the new coastal highway (Ethnikos dromos) is parallel to the shore and very close to it. The main square of Georgioupolis lies halfway between the highway and the beach. Either walking along the beach or by car/bus along the highway, the Paradise and Posidon bars are just over 2km east of the main square. The markers on the highway are partly hidden by foliage, but if you see km 39, that's very close to the two bars. Another highway landmark is the Pilot Hotel; the two bars are less than 500m east of it.
If you come from Chania follow the main road in the directon of Rethymno. You are passing the little town of Georgoupolis left of you. After that you see a sign: "Pilot Beach resort 300 m" About 400-500 m after this sign there will be a sign "P 500 m " (the sign for parking). You drive on this parking place and then cross the road. There is a possibility to drive from that side of the Parking place on the parallel road at the bach side of the dunes/beach. Then go right for a 150 m and you will see "Pavlos kanteen". You can park you car there and walk a short distance to the spot.
Access 35-21'17.7"N 24-16'48.3" E This is the exit from the "National Road" layby onto the track that runs along the back of the beach. Motorists should drive a short distance along this track in an easterly direction and park at the back of "Pavlos" beach bar (described as the new beach bar in the guide) Then they should continue a short distance along the beach, again in an easterly direction to reach the naturist area mid way between Pavlos and the next set of sunbeds further to the east.

A 2001 contributor found the odd naturist family and single male close to the waters edge. There were more males at the back of the beach in the dunes; unfortunately my contributor had the impression they seemed to just be stalking up and down parading their wares. They rarely came down to the water. There is a small amount of people that walk along the beach front. However, I believe that most were walking along the beach to get somewhere, rather than "sightseeing". When my contributor and his family were there nude, it did not seem to make anyone bat an eyelid.
Is it worth it? Well, the Captain would welcome more reports. My correspondents suggest that nudity is acceptable in this area around 2/3 the way from Posidon bar's sunloungers to the next set along to the east, but it sounds rather furtive. It seems it isn't particularly common on June Sundays, with textile "residents" outnumbering naturists at least 4:1 over the 150m stretch, and with textile walkers passing every few minutes. And female naturists are less likely to be seen than male ones.
The Captain hears, from a report from July 2000, that a beach bar has opened in the heart of what was the nudist area. On the day my contributor visited (June 2000), there were nudists quite visible at the back of the beach in the vicinity (not visible from the bar), but the extra beach traffic clearly made them uneasy: the only one my contributor saw bathing felt it necessary to bring his towel to the edge of the water. A beautiful beach: such a shame that the municipal council apparently no longer wants to preserve a green belt before the river which marks the boundary with the next municipality which allows ribbon development.
Barefoot reporters went to this beach in July 2006 and found it a very nice beach. It is a rather quiet part of the 9 km long beach. There were no nudists at the beach, but if you want to go nude they did not think this will be a problem. There were a lot of people walking at the beach/waterfront, so that might be the reason that most of the nude persons were in the little dunes or at the seaside of the dunes.
My contributor comments about an earlier report in which a contributor told there were mostly men over there parading and showing their wares. This still is. The reason why? This spot is also mentioned in the Spartacus Gay Guide as a spot gays can go swimming and meet other gays. My contributors, being gay, did not have a problem with it.
