Athens… It had been on our to-go list for such a long time, but somehow we always managed to go somewhere else instead. Except for this time, of course, a couple of days ago we finally dived into the city. And it met all expectations, Athens is an amazing place which can cover everybody’s likes. Whether you’re interested in politics (it’s the birthplace of democracy), economics (the first use of currency), or philosophy (you literally … Read more
When we say the name “Cyclades Islands”, images of white and blue houses covered in Bougainvillea plants might pop into your head, as well as exotic names like Santorini, Naxos, or Mykonos. Indeed, that’s where we are at the moment! We did however chose one of the lesser-known islands: Antiparos. A small island nearby its bigger brother Paros. The main reason why we picked this one was that it’s one of the few official … Read more
From our Naked Wanderings Cyclades Islands Basecamp on Antiparos with the most beautiful Greek nude beach, it was only a fifteen-minute ferry ride to the neighboring and much bigger island Paros. So on a nice Sunday morning, we woke up early, walked to the scooter rental shop, went through some useless price negotiations, and ended up with a black and blue 50cc beast. Only minutes later we embarked on the ferry with high expectations. If … Read more
As the end of the summer, and thus the end of the naturist season as well, in Greece was fastly approaching, we had to evaluate our options for the next ten to fifteen days. Our main plan was actually to head north, in the direction of Thessaloniki, and try our luck for finding some last Greek nude beaches over there, but then our eye fell on an entry in our Google search saying Kalokeri Villas. … Read more
If you’ve read our last post, you already know that luck wasn’t on our side on Skopelos island, well, concerning weather that is. But somehow we had expected it, it was already past the end of the season and autumn had to kick in one day. And it did. When we were on the island. After three days of waiting (no, that’s not true, we didn’t really sit there waiting but we enjoyed ourselves doing … Read more
If you’ve been following us via this blog or on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter during the last months, you probably noticed that we’ve spent a lot of time in Greece. A real necessity, even if we only wanted to get the slightest impression of the country. When you look at the country on the map, it doesn’t seem very big. Its size is roughly the same as Austria and Switzerland combined and a bus ride … Read more
It was around 2 am when Nick suddenly woke up with one of those cartoon light bulbs above his head. “We’ve been writing about places to go naked all over Europe for the last several months, but it had never occurred to us to tell our readers something about our home country.”Belgium does have its own nude beach in Bredene. It also has several naturist clubs and campings, naturist activities, and even a naturist B&B. … Read more
Our research for a flight to Sri Lanka that wouldn’t drown most of our monthly budget gave us Istanbul as the perfect place to fly from. Istanbul. Yes, we’ve followed the news recently, and especially the controls on internet censorship which the Turkish government is implementing worried us a little. Is nudism in Turkey even allowed? Will we be able to be nude outside of our hotel room? What if they know about Naked Wanderings? … Read more
When we started with naturism, we quickly noticed two things: Being in our late twenties, we were often by far the youngest. The available information online about naturism was old, boring, patronizing, and did not reflect our experiences at all. It wasn’t hard to see that both points were obviously linked to each other. We are the internet generation. We don’t turn to encyclopedias, libraries, or magazines to find our information, we turn to Google. … Read more
We used to do decent research before setting off to a new country, but once in a while, we let our expectations just lead us. Maybe we’ve gotten a bit lazy because of the length of our travels or maybe it was because getting naked in Europe was so easy. And let’s face it, what objections could the Sri Lankans have against our tanned behinds? They are such friendly people and they have the perfect … Read more
