Limnos has missed, as yet, the tourist boom, and Frewin Poffley says that the island culture now sadly lacking elsewhere has survived here. Evidently there are also some beautiful beaches, but as yet the Captain has received only two (anonymous) reports of nudism there.
Karvounolakkos
This lovely (sand and pebbles) beach is approximately 7 kms north of the capital Myrina. From Myrina go north to Kaspakas village, then down to Ayios Yiannis beach, then north by the beach road, all the way to the cafe under the rock. Continue for 1.5 kms on the dirt road (practically to the end of the road and bactrack 200 m) and turn towards the beach. You can drive all the way to the beach, even though at a certain point there appears to be a gate closure. The water is lovely and except on August 15th (presumably a feast day) the beach is mainly nudist. The South end is always textile-free.
Thanos
The right-hand end of Thanos beach is apparently traditionally 100% nudist - but a report from August 2007 says there were many textile swimmers there. Given that the beach is so long it is a shame that textiles can't leave a bit of space for us nudists.
