Mediteranean naturist holidays

deejay-gee · #1 07-17-2005, 01:05 AM

Having been married just four weeks ago, this years holiday is already taken care of (we are going to China and Hong Kong in October!).

Next year however, we would like a beach type Med holiday.

I would be interested to know:

Any reputable companies from the UK or operating in the UK who offer naturist holidays (not in Cap D'agde); or

Any major mediteranean resorts with easily accesable naturist beaches.

I was thinking south of France, Spain, maybe Greece or Croatia...

any suggestions welcome.

Try Peng Travel who only deal with naturist accomodations. http://www.pengtravel.co.uk or get a copy of H&E & look through it for other ideas.
I've visited Las Piteras in Lanzarote a couple of times & it was wonderful (booked through Peng). To be fair though, most beaches in Lanzarote are nude friendly so you could have a textile holiday but visit nude beaches all the time.
Tenerife has a few nude beaches though it took me a while to discover them. I believe mainland Spain is also very naturist friendly as is Croatia & there are certainly a few dedicated resorts in that neck of the woods.
Seem to have a recollection of reading that Greece is clamping down on nudity, to the extent that some girls have even been arrested for baring their breasts, which is a bit of a surprise. I always thought the Med was topless only! Good luck & make sure you post any updates.

Also check out http://www.france4naturisme.com/ whose UK representative, Suzanne Piper, is well known in naturist circles and will be able to answer any questions you have. You can find her email address, along with some other possible holiday companies, at http://www.n-2.org.uk/nuff/pages/nuff/cont-l.htm .

I recommend Valalta or Koversada in Croatia. They are both available through Peng, but you can also book directly through their web sites.
Valalta
Koversada- Maistra
Combining direct booking and one of the lowcost airlines (Ryanair) you can have the same holiday for less money.

dee-jay -

I was in Croatia in 2001 and 2002 at (now-textile) Monsena. It was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best nudist holiday ever. And Rovinj is a spectacular town; I loved it all.

I recommend Croatia highly!!! Cronat has a good point above that booking may be cheaper. You can fly into Pula, or alternatively, fly to Venice, check it out, take the train to Trieste, spend the night in this great town and take a 3 hour bus ride to Rovinj.

Good luck!!!!

Few days in Venice + a week in a naturist resort in Croatia: I think this could be a great trip for newlyweds.
There are a number of cheap flights from the UK to Venice.
Great info about travelling from Italy to Croatia can be found here.

And Brian is right about Rovinj, a truly lovely little old town. Many refer to it as one of the most romantic places in Croatia.

Cronat, I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering just what Croatia & eastern Europe are really like for nudists. Perhaps you could explain a little more about it there. For instance, is being nude restricted only to certain areas eg beaches, or can it be practised anywhere? (Obviously within reason, not in a supermarket, restauarant, etc).
