I promised I would post some photos of nude beaches visited in Crete this month. If you're just looking for pictures of nude men on the beaches, stop now. However if you're thinking of visiting Crete or you're interested in finding out about how nude beaches operate in parts of Europe, read on.
The first thing to stress is that nude beaches in Greece vary by time of week and time of year. Some may be taken over by 'textiles' at weekends and during the July/Aug peak season. Crete is so far south that you can visit the beach most days from April to October, so missing the summer peak may not be a problem.
The other point is that few European beaches are entirely nude. Nudists tend to co-exist with textiles on the same beach, either together or at different sides of the beach. The nude part of the beach is always the furthest away.
There is an excellent website with hundreds of pages on Greek nude beaches. Essential reading before you go, even if some of the information now seems out of date:

So, to the first beach. It is the furthest west on the large island of Crete. Its beauty comes partly from masses of tiny rose-pink shells comprising the sand - and this has meant visitors by the busload. However if you wade across to the island (off-right in picture 1) and walk along the eastern or left side, you will soon come to your first nudists spread around the little bays - see 2nd pic. We saw several single males making for the rocks at the end. A word of warning - it's a national park where sun umbrellas are banned and there is no shade. You could get very sunburnt out in the open.
