Naked on the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea: where nudists rest

"Nudism" или "натуризм" - это совсем не распущенность и бесстыжесть, как считают многие. Люди, предпочитающие обходиться без одежды в специальных общественных местах, проповедуют возврат к чистым истокам первобытной культуры, стремление к полному слиянию с природой и так далее. Движение это массовое, со своей более чем полувековой историей и традициями.

Numerous resorts in Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Croatia and Israel are at the service of nudists who want to relax on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The bravest and most persistent can find a nudist beach in Tunisia and Egypt. But in general, the southern coast of the warm sea is avoided by convinced fans of "natural" recreation for well-known reasons.

The most famous and oldest of all nudist resorts is Cap d'Agde (France). This is a whole town with strict rules of behavior and a special dress code. "Dress" as such, as you understand, is completely absent, and the rules are simple - do not interfere with anyone's rest (meaning shameless looking at other people's naked bodies or their individual parts). For violating the rules and staying on the territory of the resort in clothes, you will simply be taken out of its territory. This place is expensive, but for nudists there is an opportunity not only to sunbathe and swim. There are constantly discos, casinos, restaurants, shops. All establishments of the resort can be visited exclusively without clothes.

In addition, in France, the famous resort of Saint-Tropez is also a popular place among lovers of primitive origins (do you remember with what pleasure the famous gendarme played by Louis de Funes drove naturists?). It is not as comfortable as in d'agda, but there is everything you need for a pleasant stay.

Spain is the leader in the number of official nudist beaches in Europe. That's really where there is a roam! Chic El Saler, Pinedo and Cullera (Valencia) attract hundreds of thousands of people every year who prefer the costumes of the ancestors of Adam and Eve to all fashion brands. If you prefer an expensive and refined holiday, luxury Ibiza, the famous Majorca and Minorca are at your service. On each island there are corners for nudists, where they feel absolutely free and safe.

The Italian beaches of Capocotta, Lido de Venezia, Costa dei Barbari are loved by "non-professional" naturists. Alas, the obsession and temperament of the local population often spoil the rest for lovers of sunbathing naked.

For" family " nudists who are used to relaxing together together, the island of Coversada (Croatia) is best suited. Isolation from the whole world, well-organized leisure, numerous entertainments for them and "reliable like-minded people" around. Add to this the "budget" of accommodation and food. Many travel companies organize special nudist tours on the Coversad.

Despite the official ban on being completely naked on the beaches, there are at least a dozen and a half beaches for nudists in Israel. Entertainment is semi-legal. Therefore, there are very few foreign tourists there.
