About this place
Xi Beach is a clothing-optional beach in Kefalonia, Ionian Islands, Greece. It falls outside the three nationally designated naturist beaches (Faliraki on Rhodes, Sarakiniko on Gavdos, and Velanio on Skopelos) but operates under the long-standing custom of naturist tolerance that characterizes many of Greece's secluded coves and wild beaches.
Greek law technically requires nudity to occur on officially designated beaches; Article 353 of the Penal Code can apply elsewhere with fines up to €1,500. In practice, enforcement on remote and customary-naturist beaches is essentially non-existent — but the legal exposure exists. For the full context, see our legal guide.
Etiquette & ground rules
Respect the established naturist character of the beach: be discreet, avoid photography, and follow the lead of regulars. Greek beach naturism lives on local goodwill rather than formal protection — visitors who behave non-sexually and unobtrusively contribute to keeping these places open. If signposting or a beach official indicates the beach is no longer naturist-tolerated, cover up immediately.
