Ramnous

See here where I found it!

Not exactly in down town but it's close enough to reach it for a one-day excursion. You can only go there by car but, preferably, you should have someone local to assist you or you may be lost in a maze of dirt roads.

Ramnous isn't easy to find. It lies on a wild coast east of Marathonas, a coast so wild that Google Maps used not to display any roads in the area.

The following are improved directions submitted by a Barefooter who visited in July 2007. Take Marathonas Ave from Athens and turn R into Marathonas on a one way system. Follow signs for National Rd. After a few turns you will see a sign for Grammatiko, take this. Follow winding Rd for 5km take R to 'SPORTS VILLAGE'. Pass SPORTS VILLAGE after 3km and take left when road forks. 1km later the road becomes dirt but 4 wheel drive not essential. Keep right at fork and after steep narrow descent park at small church. Follow coast along fence for 10 mins to naturist areas. As a consequence of this isolated drive the beaches are very quiet and peaceful. Worth the trip.

I'm leaving the older directions in because of the rather startling description of part of the drive. Take the road to Schinias, a large sandy beach. You will see a sign to Agyas Marinas FB, a ferry port. You might also see a sign to the archeological site of Ramnous, the Temple of Nemesis. On the road from Schinias to Aiyas Marinas you will see a left turn to Grammatico. Take it. Before you reach Grammatico you will see a a very sharp right turn, close to 145 degrees. The road is marked to Limounas. Coming from Grammatico you can see the sign. Coming from Aiyas Marinas you can't see it, but it is the only turn on the road. There was also a crude hand-painted cardboard sign to Ramnous leaning up against the signpost for the official sign. After a mile the road becomes a dirt road, with rocks, ruts, holes, and the occasionally dizzying fenceless shoulderless dropoff to an abyss below. Continue for 4.2 miles and don't lose hope. You will pass a left turn to Limounas (in Greek only); keep going straight.. You will see the archeological site in the distance, and then, at the bottom of a cove a white building and parked cars. Soon thereafter the road becomes crudely paved, and then it becomes dirt again, the scariest road my reporter has ever driven, huge holes in the road and opportunity to plunge into the sea on the left. It is very steep. The white building and the parking lot are at the bottom of the road.

Park and walk for about ten minutes along the coast with the sea on your left. You will pass two small textile beaches, and then clamber over the rocks to the first of three nude coves. Take your choice. All are beautiful, the sea crystal clear and easy to walk into (watch out for black sea urchins which are not too numerous but still a risk). The beaches are pebble beaches, not real sand. At the rear of the beach there is a fence separating it from the archaeological site. Opening the fence would eliminate a very exciting drive! The coves were pretty nearly 100% nude.

The place is an ancient site and, whereas the beach is free, there is heavy fencing to protect the archaeological site and the excavation in progress. There are five beaches after the rocks. Keep going till you find the best one. This is your nude beach. You may find occasional textiles but no problem. Suggest you explore the entire span of individual small beaches so you can make your choice. My correspondent rated this 90%.

I visited Ramnous on 07/07/2012. A hard drive, but worth it. Very quiet and relaxing. 100 percent nude, but there were only about a dozen people on the beach.
