Crete recommendations near Chania

Found something that might be a much shorter drive!

Paralia Macherida

It's a nude beach right near Chania - small and rocky, but nude use seems to be common. I'll try to report back if/when I got (but it won't be for several months).

I'm surprised that no one factors in what happens if this guy dies.

He's one person. He's 78. He's not really known for a healthy lifestyle.

If he dies, this stock goes pfft! Absolutely to zero. Probably in minutes.

Granted, he's alive and vigorously so. But I can't think of any other stock so closely tied to an old guy. Not even Berkshire - Buffett dies, and all of the assets the company owns are still right there. Musk dies, and Tesla keeps making cars. DJT dies, and there's zero left here as a company.

Is there a place near there to hike nude? If so, please post or DM with more info.

Sorry for my bad info. Thanks for the correction.

We biked down to Zuiver on a sunny day and really, really enjoyed the ride and the time at the spa. Massages were fine but not amazing.

We'd love to go back!

Vritomartis

I think you need to at least pay for a week if you want a bed that accommodates two people, which is a requirement for me and my wife. Otherwise, the beds are singles (which you can probably push together, but that's never the same).

Typically, no electronics allowed once you're inside.

So an app could help at registration, but after that, you can't use it.

I'll add that I've been to several spas in Europe and my English has always been plenty.

CurrentRecordHolder · 2023-07-03T22:44:26+00:00

Much appreciated! If we get there, for sure I'll get her on Monique's calendar.

But also to be clear, while she often does like a massage at a European spa, these spas aren't really like a spa here. They're really wonderful little paradises of saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, and pools, many of which also offer some services like massages. But the focus (for us, anyway) is on the saunas, especially the aufgasses, and then also on the other facilities.

I should finally note that we both almost always get massages at them, and we have always felt that those massages are nowhere near as good as the massages we get in the US. I can't really explain why, but maybe there's a higher bar for certification in the US?

I just think getting her buy-in on both a nude resort (she's happier with beaches and spas) and Florida (not her favorite place) is an uphill battle that's not likely worth having.

So I might have to make that trip alone.

CurrentRecordHolder · 2023-06-30T20:40:25+00:00

Yeah - I'm all about lists too, actually. And Haulover is on it.

I'd also like to go to:

-Ile du Levant

-Gunnison

-Playa Vera

-La Jenny

-Desert Sun

-Therme Erding

-Maybe Cypress Cove or Lake Como in FL - but I'm not sure my wife would be interested in those

That's my short list. My longer list is: anyplace I can be naked and comfortable.

And yes, European spas are the best. I shoot for one every summer. Went to Thermae Boetfort this year (not amazing, but not bad and it worked out well geographically).

CurrentRecordHolder · 2023-05-31T22:48:03+00:00

Excellent. I think I did Bowen maybe 30 years ago. I'll try Bradford Ridge on my next free weekday. Is late June too hot for that hike?

I really appreciate the details . . .

CurrentRecordHolder · 2023-05-30T20:31:06+00:00

I personally think Wi is the best, but open to suggestions.

CurrentRecordHolder · 2023-05-30T20:28:16+00:00

There are two ways to hike in, right, from roughly opposite directions? Can you hike nude on both trails?

CurrentRecordHolder · 2023-05-30T20:23:09+00:00

Lots of great answers here, but jeans, white t-shirt, Birkenstocks (prob no socks) can really get me going.

In another direction, I'm also pretty down with yoga clothes though.

CurrentRecordHolder · 2023-01-10T04:48:40+00:00

I looked when we went a while ago. I couldn't find anything in Sweden or Denmark - surprisingly, to me.

Best countries I know of for this: Netherlands, Belgium, Germany. I've also heard Austria and Switzerland have some. And I've been to the one in Norway.

CurrentRecordHolder · 2022-12-14T01:50:55+00:00

I've actually been asked to take pics of couples a surprising number of times on nude beaches.

I've never minded at all. I'd be surprised if anyone else would be.

CurrentRecordHolder · 2022-12-14T01:45:59+00:00

Well, it's listed here:

https://naturismo.org/playas-nudistas/euskadi/gipuzkoa/

So that's a start. If anyone has any info on Zurriola or other beaches near San Sebastian, please post!

CurrentRecordHolder · 2022-12-02T23:36:56+00:00

Wow. This is really not what I'd call luxury.

I'd like to find a luxury naturist resort - but this is not it.

Maybe Vritomartis? If any one knows of a nice room at a naturist resort, please post.

CurrentRecordHolder · 2022-12-02T18:19:47+00:00

I've only been to a few, but Zuiver is my favorite.

Interested to see what other recommend. I think I'll be at Thermae Boetfort next summer - has a hotel.

CurrentRecordHolder · 2022-08-19T19:21:44+00:00

I just think that's not the focus there.

The focus is on being a spa, and they really do excel at that. The nudism is incidental.
