Komos Beach
About
Komos Beach is a stunning 2 km stretch of golden sand backed by dunes and cliffs, renowned for its clear waters and family‑friendly environment. The northern part of the beach hosts a large naturist section that has earned a reputation as one of Greece’s top clothing‑optional spots, complete with privacy and shade from tamarisk trees. Adjacent to the beach lies the ancient Komos archaeological site, offering a glimpse into a thriving Bronze‑Age Minoan port that once buzzed with trade and maritime activity. Visitors can enjoy snorkeling in the calm waters, fresh seafood at the Komos Taverna, and reliable beach facilities such as toilets, a shower, and a lifeguard nearby.

Best time to visit
The ideal time to visit Komos Beach is from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is warm, the water is calm, and beach crowds are manageable—this also avoids the loggerhead sea turtle nesting season during the summer evenings.
