Polemi Beach, Kos - Tolerated Nude Beach

Polemi Beach, also known as Exotic Beach, is located on the southwest coast of the Greek island of Kos. Look for the sign to Magic Beach about 6km before you reach Kefalos when travelling along the main road southwest from Kos airport. When you reach the beach you will see the mainly non-nudist Magic Beach on your right so turn left and head for the nude Exotic Beach. Reports from 2003 suggest that Exotic Beach has almost total nudity and even the umbrella area is 90% nudist. See Captain Barefoot's Guide To Kos. There is a taverna nearby which sells sandwiches. The next beach along this coastline is Sunny Beach, also nudist. There used to be nude sunbathing further along at Paradise Beach (close to Kefalos town) but this area is now too commercialised for naturism.

POLEMI NUDE BEACH REPORTS:

1. We found this beach in 2004 and returned again in 2005 as we enjoyed it so much. Access to the beach is from the main road from the airport to Kefalos. About 6Km before Kefalos, there is a tarmac road that leads down to the beach which is sign posted Magic beach. Follow the road down, passing a restaurant on the right hand side and at the bottom the beach splits in two. The beach on the right hand side is magic beach which is non-nudist so if you dare to bare turn left. Follow the stoney road to the car park which is about 500m from the end of the tarmac road. This is Polemi beach. There is about 30 sunbeds with umbrellas, when we were there (July) it was all most entirely naturist a mix of British, German & Italian. The beach its self is sand & shingle and access to the sea is easy and its clean, unlike the beaches on the north side of the island which suffer a lot of debris due to the prevailing wind. From where the sunbeds are the beach extends on around the bay for about 3Km and is completely deserted, so you are able to walk along the waters edge. On the down side though because of the extent of the beach some passing walkers from Magic beach do amble by occasionally. There is no facilities on the actual beach however its an easy walk back to the restaurant for lunch or drinks. - Ian C, (November 2005)
