Today, I managed to take a picture from your favourite spot Akrotiri (https://arillas.com/things-to-do/bars-cafes/akrotiri) on the hill between Arillas and San Stefanos .
You can see that sand is building up to the north part of the beach while the south part is so much wider that we rarely expience. You can clearrly see the ''underwater sand waves that will hopefully move towards the coast. For those who dont know you still learn about the beach of Arillas Here:https://arillas.com/size-of-beach

looks fabulous, so glad to have been able to see this as i do not seem to be able to get the web camß roll on 16th XXXXX
Lovely! Praying for more!
am home agin in austria- was an incredible time - the kindness of people was totally unbelivable. i was looked after by so many - was a little poorly and so had to cchange flight, dr papadopalos amzing as ever, horizon did all they could and more. met up with many old friends -gratziela as well - the scattering of rainers ashes for his last wish was beautiul.
once again arillas has given me a reason for life and happiness again
thank you all, you know who you are lol phiippa
Lovely Philippa 🙂
The beach has shrunk back a bit since yesterday following a day of waves. Great fun in the sea as long as you're a good swimmer. Lots of sunbeds up at the north end for those who like to go naked but despite new signage ( some of which has already been defaced) there are still a lot of nudists at either side of the main beaches. Unfortunately the signs are not in German. We discussed this today with Dimitri's on the beach. Out of 12 sets of beds, 5 were occupied by nudist who seem to revel in strolling back & forth at the waters edge. One chap in particular stood knee deep in the sea right on front of us, arms stretched above his head as if displaying everything for those on the beach!Dimitri's had asked them earlier in the week to move but they refused. I heard one old lady the other evening say 'I didn't expect to see his todger!'.
It is possible to walk through the water to the North End.
Unless the law is enforced somehow I suspect it will continue to be broken

I always find it really awkward with a young daughter, 11 tbis year, when this sort of tbing happens. I have no issue whatsoever witb nudists but please show some thought for non nudists......
Karen - what part of the beach do they seem to be on mostly? I will have a 9 and 5 year old this year, we saw a few last year but seems more this year. My daughter is very uncomfortable with it. Thanks
The part of the beach they were most prevalent on today was Dimitri's beds. Just as you go down the slope onto the beach. He has 2 sections, the first part is ok but the second part just past the outstanding crop is where they like to hang out (literally!)
Dimitri's asked us if we wanted to move but we like that bit of beach

Naturists are Naturists but rules are rules!!!
You wanna get yer kit off then do it in accordance with the rules and do not possibly offend those who follow the rules,
and.... I wonder what any naturist would do if you sat alongsiide them and played yer music loader than usual?? -- (Against the Rules vs Against the Rules?)
All this said there are many naturists who settle down and do what they do. It's the posers who decide they want to make a point.
(No points if the water is cold , just a saggy statement)
Anyway. I refuse to take off my kit as I would look like arfar bananna on an olive branch.
Cheers

Sadly the naturists are moving further down onto the main beach and one of the no naturists signs has been vandalised.
I can't believe naturists are daring to use Dimitris' sunbeds!!!!! Petros never allowed nudists on his beds just by Gratsela and I totally agree with him. Dimitris should refuse to rent them out to them if they are naked...or certainly not allow them back the following day. Unfortunately some of the centres advertise "the nudist beach of Arillas" in their publicity!!
Really hope we have no issues down near Gratsela this year. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion etc but I think it is only fair that some of the beach is respected for use by non nudists/young families.
I think it is only a matter of time until someone phones the police to report it. Until some arrests are made it will continue and then it is spoilt for all the respectful naturists .
Absolutely SoniaP...its the respectful naturists that it will be spoilt for....

Sonia , you read my mind!! - If the Police can make spot checks on Tavernas who are flouting the non smoking rules they should act on any complaints of this nature.

When we visited in September 2023 the North Beach was as good as being inaccessible, the South Beach was much bigger and easily walked to......there were NO rental sun beds after Gratsella going towards the south and many naturists were along there, usually a respectable distance 200/300 metres from Sea Breeze...this left the main beach from Gratsella's to well beyond the Marinaki beach entrance walkway for "textiles ".
Perhaps if the North Beach is more accessible this year there will be plenty of room for everyone ?
Hopefully. I have NO issue whatsoever with nudists , like I've said before its all about being respectful 👍
We have been here just under a week and haven't had any issues. Have stayed around Gratselas end of the beach!
Enjoy Laura !
Thanks Truth! Good to be back
