Cyprus can be quite the safe haven for naturists. There are plenty of spots around the island where privacy can be had and combine this with the near year-round sunshine, breath-taking scenic views and the warm sea.
It is little surprise that the island has become such a hit with those that favor clothes-free holidays.
Here is our pick of the best places in Cyprus.
1. Agios Georgios Coves
These coves are located just west of Paphos and are a firm favorite with nudists.
The tall rocky cliffs have carved a number of coves into the landscape which offers excellent privacy if you wish to enjoy the beach without clothes.
There is a development of villas for sale in Cyprus not far from these coves so be sure to avoid wandering onto the coastal front of this development (if you are opposite Yeronisos Island, a small island just off the coast, then you have gone too far).
2. Lara Turtle Beaches
Lara Beach is difficult to reach which makes it all the better for sunbathing clothes-free.
This is a secluded location with a fairly busy and popular beach so if you are looking to meet other like-minded people then this is the place for you.
3. Latsi
There are a few beaches in this region but only a couple where naturism is perfectly fine.
Therefore it is essential you read the signs as the beaches where it is acceptable are clearly signposted.
The two recommended beaches are just beyond the Souli Hotel and the one that can be found just beyond the bath of Aphrodite.
4. Karpaz Beach
This beach is miles long, has crystal clear waters, and offers great seclusion for tourists wishing to sunbathe in the buff.
Karpaz is in the Turkish area of Cyprus and they seem to be quite hot on naturism only in designated areas so again, be sure to follow the signposts and directions.
Although most of Karpaz Beach is friendly towards nudity, if you are looking to go fully textile free then you need to go to the far right side of the beach just under the huge sand dune.
5. Salamis Beach
This is the ultimate in privacy if you are looking to go au-natural and particularly if you are looking to cram some culture in.
Salamis city has plenty of ruins to see (with your clothes on of course).
The beach is only 15 minutes from the popular Famagusta area and you will very rarely be disturbed by locals or other people.
That’s during the week though as at the weekends, Salamis Beach can get very crowded so a visit Monday to Friday is advisable.
