&lt;h1 class=&quot;f_s_65 f_w_bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Limanakia&amp;mdash;Gay nudist beach in Athens: How to get there &amp;amp; extra tips from a local&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.travelbyinterest.com/destination/1087/gay/guide&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gay holidays in Greece&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are often described as almost mythical&amp;mdash;sun-drenched, salty, and effortlessly sensual. If you find yourself in Athens, beyond the city&amp;rsquo;s well-known gay bars and nightlife, there&amp;rsquo;s one daytime hotspot that truly stands out: Limanakia B, the capital&amp;rsquo;s most recognised gay nude beach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Located in Vouliagmeni, Limanakia B is widely regarded as the most popular &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.travelbyinterest.com/destination/2820/gay/guide&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;gay nudist beach near Athens&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, attracting both local visitors and international travellers. The shoreline is predominantly rocky, but this natural landscape rewards visitors with exceptionally clear, refreshing waters&amp;mdash;perfect after time spent exploring the city in the heat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;It remains one of the most beautiful coastal spots in the region, offering clean seas and basic facilities. Visitors are encouraged to respect the environment and keep the beach pristine. For a quieter experience, arriving early in the morning is highly recommended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/Files/Pai/Limanakia%20B%20-%20Gay%20Beach%20in%20Athens4.jpg&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;The gay beach in Athens isn&amp;rsquo;t really a beach at all but a sort of rocky cliff&amp;mdash;a gay cliff. Typical. Gays always pick the hardest spot. The best time to go is in the afternoon. That&amp;rsquo;s when the action&amp;rsquo;s peaking. In the summer, it can get quite hot between one and four, so go after four, or you&amp;rsquo;ll die of sunstroke because there&amp;rsquo;s not one square metre of shade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/limanakia-b-gay-beach-in-athens&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Limanakia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt; is a rocky beach with crystal clear waters, just a 30-minute drive from the city centre, and it is considered the daytime gay summer hot spot for both locals and tourists. Limanakia is separated into&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Limanakia A&#39; and Limanakia B&#39;.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Limanakia A&#39; is visited mainly by straight, younger people, while all the action takes place at&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Limanakia B&#39;&lt;/strong&gt;, which&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;is a gay&amp;nbsp;nudist beach,&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;where most people are naked and only a few are dressed, depending on the cove that you choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/Files/Pai/Gay%20Travel%20in%20Athens%2C%20Greece.jpg&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The beach includes 3 big coves,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;all of which&amp;nbsp;are nudist-friendly, but with greatly different&amp;nbsp;cruising happening at each one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. The first section (37.801092, 23.792118)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is a mix of nudists and clothed people, it&#39;s&amp;nbsp;mainly preferred by couples, and it is the busiest section of all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. The second cove&amp;nbsp;(37.8004691506235, 23.79395275849926)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is where the fun begins and there is some action going on, mainly where the trees are slightly above the main rock.&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. The third cove (37.79997027554471, 23.795968655148897)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;is where the real cruising happens, which is for what most people are actually there.&amp;nbsp;In general, you will notice that in Limanakia B&#39; men are in a more relaxed&amp;nbsp;and &quot;flirty&quot; mood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The blue marks the first section, the green the second one, and the red the third one. The black spot represents one of the entrances to the coves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://d22109rw628vry.cloudfront.net/editor/e/3/e396e71a2de2c67bf9156c843ec0047d.jpg&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; data-image=&quot;xu9UEeYAn-&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Get There&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-gallery.com/limanakia-b-gay-beach-in-athens&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Liminakia gay beach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt; is a 30-minute drive from the city centre, or you can get public transport or an Uber. It is known for being hot, busy and naughty during the summer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;If you are going to take public transport, you need to get the local metro (M2) to Elliniko station (red line), and upon exiting the station take a 30-minute bus (bus number 122) &amp;ndash; keep an eye on your route using google maps to be sure where to get off the bus &amp;ndash; the stop you want is stop &amp;lsquo;B Limanakia&amp;rsquo;. From here, follow the road directly to the beach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.theglobetrotterguys.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/gay-beach-athens.png.webp&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-4043 lazyload&quot; data-pin-media=&quot;https://www.theglobetrotterguys.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/gay-beach-athens.png&quot; data-trellis-processed=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.theglobetrotterguys.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/gay-beach-athens-2.png.webp&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-4042 lazyload&quot; data-pin-media=&quot;https://www.theglobetrotterguys.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/gay-beach-athens-2.png&quot; data-trellis-processed=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The beach is marked on Google Maps as &amp;lsquo;Limanakia Nudist Beach&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;The beach of Limanakia is about a 30-45-minute drive from the city center, between Vouliagmeni and Varkiza. After passing the traffic lights by the Vouliagmeni Lake, you will find the beach about 1.8 km away, driving along the Posidonos Avenue. Keep an eye on the big parking space on your right hand, and you are almost there. Spot the rocky side of the beach around the parking and begin your adventure. In case you don&#39;t have a car, use the E22 bus that starts from Syntagma Square.&amp;nbsp;You should get off at the bus stop&amp;nbsp;B Limanakia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/Files/Pai/gays%20travel%20athens%20swimmers-on-the-sand.jpg&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To get there, take a car, or even better, a boat. You can also take the bus from Athens in the direction of Vari and get off at bus stop &amp;lsquo;B Limanakia,&amp;rsquo; the second stop after Vouliagmeni, the posh suburb where the old-money Athenians live. If you just say, &amp;lsquo;Limanakia,&amp;rsquo; everybody knows where it is: where the Attica Mountains lunge toward the Saronic Gulf. It&amp;rsquo;s the only stretch of the Athenian coast that is totally undeveloped and uninhabited. There&amp;rsquo;s no sign, no waving rainbow flag&amp;mdash;no nothing. But it&amp;rsquo;s unofficially super gay, and you know you&amp;rsquo;re there because the cruising starts just off the highway, in the parking lot. Look for the small cantine, like a little hut, where a guy sells tiro pitta spanakopita, bottled water, and caf&amp;eacute; freddo (unless he&amp;rsquo;s disappeared down one of the paths with a basket of ham and cheese sandwiches).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/Files/Pai/Limanakia%20B%20-%20Gay%20Beach%20in%20Athens6.jpg&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Put on some good shoes before you head down. No Gucci espadrilles&amp;mdash;those won&amp;rsquo;t cut it. It&amp;rsquo;s quite a hike, and you have to be in pretty good shape to survive the steep descent. This trip&amp;rsquo;s not recommended for the elderly, but because it&amp;rsquo;s been this iconic gay meeting place since the seventies, you get a handful of silver foxes who risk it for some dick. Down the trail, you see guys kissing, picnicking amongst the wild sage, rosemary and oregano&amp;mdash;oregano grows everywhere in Greece, doesn&amp;rsquo;t it? It&amp;rsquo;s like The Cycladic Shrub. There are lizards too, and depending on the season, you might spot butterfly or two fluttering around the pinkish-white (and edible) flowers of the caper bushes that dot the landscape.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Once you&amp;rsquo;re all the way down, you realise it&amp;rsquo;s like ninety per cent nudist and one hundred-and-fifty percent gay. Guys are splashing about and chit-chatting in small groups or just lying solo in the sun. It&amp;rsquo;s not like they&amp;rsquo;re all there for sex&amp;mdash;it&amp;rsquo;s as faggy as it is cruisy&amp;mdash;although it&amp;rsquo;s no problem to slip away from your buddies and make a few new friends in one of the tiny coves. &lt;/strong&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s no sandy beach to speak of, but you can dive off the rocks and go for a swim when the heat becomes too much. The water&amp;rsquo;s as clean as it gets in Athens, which is not bad, not bad at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;The best thing about the secluded gay bay of Limanakia is you&amp;rsquo;ll never see a couple of bickering parents with screaming kids in tow. You also won&amp;rsquo;t see any houses or buildings, so you feel like you&amp;rsquo;re really away from it all. Oh, and if you&amp;rsquo;re expecting a booty call or want to log in to Grindr, forget it. There&amp;rsquo;s no reception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tips from a Local Gay Man:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;To get to Limanakia, you must&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;pass through a quite steep path&lt;/strong&gt;, so&amp;nbsp;make sure you wear&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;running shoes&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;to climb down. Wear your flip-flops after you reach the bottom rocks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;There are a few spots by the rocks where you might find&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;slight shade,&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;but make sure to bring your s&lt;strong&gt;unscreen and hat,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;as the rocks reflect the light from the sun.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;You&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;are also going to need protection&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;if you are planning to take a &quot;tour&quot; of the area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;only shop/canteen/cafe in the area can be found at Limanakia A&lt;/strong&gt;&#39;, which is a 10-minute walk from Limanakia B&#39;. Getting there, however, means that you will need to pass through the steep, rocky path again, walk by the central road, and all that, under the hot sun. So,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;water and snacks&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;are essential to spend the day there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;However, if your&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;supplies fall&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;short&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the end, there is a guy passing through and shouting, so that you notice him,&amp;nbsp;with&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;beers, water, etc&lt;/strong&gt;. However,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;we wouldn&#39;t count on him&lt;/strong&gt;, as it&#39;s not certain if he will be there or not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Most of the cruising happens during the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;afternoon-evening hours&lt;/strong&gt;, although, at the 3rd cove, it happens all&amp;nbsp;day long. On the opposite side of the road, right behind the bus station where you&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;take the bus to go back to Athens&lt;/strong&gt;, there is a cruising spot behind the trees.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;But be careful&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;as there are some gypsies in the area that might try to steal from you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Be careful of the beach, as going&amp;nbsp;in and out of the sea&amp;nbsp;is&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;not very simple&lt;/strong&gt;. There are a few minutes every couple of hours that the sea is quite&amp;nbsp;turbulent, so&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;refrain from going in during this time.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Saturdays and Sundays are quite busy, as people don&#39;t work. This creates&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;huge traffic during the afternoon hours&lt;/strong&gt;, so we highly recommend&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;not leaving the beach between 5-7,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;as the road that leads to Athens&amp;nbsp;is super busy during this time. To top it off,&amp;nbsp;the Greek buses usually have no AC and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;going&amp;nbsp;back to the city in a crowded&amp;nbsp;bus, stuck in traffic, and&amp;nbsp;with no AC is a nightmare.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;Vouliagmeni_Beach&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vouliagmeni Beach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Just before Limanakia B beach, you will pass Vouliagmeni beach.&amp;nbsp;This is also considered very gay-friendly, but if you have travelled all the way from Athens and are looking for the most popular gay beach near Athens, you might as well carry on (less than 10 minutes) to Limanakia B nudist beach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/Files/Pai/Gay%20Travel%20Athens.jpg&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;Alykes_Drosia_Beach_Gay_Friendly&quot;&gt;Alykes Drosia Beach (Gay Friendly)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;We met a local gay couple during our stay in Athens who took us out for the day to Alykes Drosia Beach (aka Bora Bora Beach specifically) which was an hour&#39;s drive north of Athens in Chalcis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;This was not a gay beach per se, but we personally found it to be very gay-friendly. We were clearly a group of gay guys all in our little speedos (take a look at our&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theglobetrotterguys.com/2019/09/14/gay-underwear-brands-gay-swimwear-brands/&quot;&gt;top ten gay swimwear brands&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;) and did not feel self-conscious at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;We wanted to include this as a recommendation as the beach and water were lovely, there were hardly (if any tourists) and as a result it had a great local feel and prices of food/drinks sunbeds etc was reflective of this fact &amp;ndash; another great escape from the city!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
