Brief background

  • Mykonos is one of the most touristy spots in Greece, particuoapar among party goers.
  • June/July is the peak of the tourist season.
  • Nudism is not legal in the entire island of Mykonos, however tolerated. 
  • There’s no bus to this beach, and it’s a 25-minute ride from Mykonos Town. 
  • Self drive scooters and cars are available for rent. Due to windy weather in general, and the hilly terrain, a four wheeler or a heavy two wheeler or ATV is recommended, as a two wheeler may feel too light to withstand the wind, at times.


Detailed review

Weather 
  • Clear sky, almost 30 degrees Celsius on the evening I visited.


Visitors
  • Less than 10 at 7:30 pm.
  • This looked like a very small number given the peak season. 


Solo visitors present?
  • Not sure. Everyone was in groups.


Entry 
  • Free entry. 
  • No "couple only" entry rules.


Nudity rules  
  • Nudity is illegal by law in Mykonos.
  • Nudity is tolerated in many beaches though, including Agrari. As I had read, I realised that not much nudist vibes can be expected during the peak tourist season of June. However, I had expected higher number of visitors.

Gender ratio
  • Women : men was roughly 1:1.


States of undress
  • Almost 50% among men naked, 0% women naked.
  • I got quite late reaching the beach. There were definitely more people earlier, however, the area occupied by nudists seemed to be very small.
  • This beach neither seemed to be a party hub of textiles, nor a place which nudists could feel belonging to. 


Age bracket ratio
  • (18-40) : 40+ was roughly 1:1.


Racial composition
    • All seemed to be whites.


    Ethnic composition 
    • No information.


    Body sizes ratio
    • Slim to plus sizes was roughly 3.5 : 1.


    Interaction level 
    • Medium. 


    Difficulty level
    • Medium/High difficulty in getting naked - only a few nude along a corner, that too, only men. 
    • However there were some rocks to hide from others.


    Sexual activities observed
    • No.


    Activities & facilities
    • Agrari beach restaurant right on the beach. 
    • I would be surprised, however, if people could go there topless or nude. I was quite late to reach so there was not anyone visible at the restaurant. 
    • The nudists seemed to be quite sidelined by the tourists during the peak season. A handful were sitting at a corner.

    Conclusion
    • Mykonos, as such, cannot be recommended as a good nudist destination, particularly during the peak tourist season of June/July. 
    • We went to a few more beaches as well, including Fokos beach in the north, which was recommended by a young Albanian girl, on her own, as a place where people like to get naked. This happened without us even asking her for nude beach recommendations, so naturally we expected it to be a great place, but it came it was a flop. Not only there was almost nobody naked, the beach was also not that beautiful.
    • Other islands like Crete have some legal nude beaches and may be better.
