Publicly baring one's bottom is illegal in Cyprus. But that's not stopping the island's dedicated nudists from finding a spot to sunbathe finds ALIX NORMAN ...

While there may be safety in numbers, in Cyprus nudism tends to be something you do alone or as a couple, suggests Ron. “Occasionally a few of us get together for a quiet stroll and swim, but I’m not aware of any large gatherings of nudists on the island. For those who prefer to feel the sun on their skin, nudism is a delightful experience. “Many people seem to be under the assumption that a naked woman is asking for it. In Spain, there’s a similarly relaxed attitude: the Costa Natura on the Costa del Sol was approved as a nudist beach as early as 1979, and a three-kilometre stretch of nudist beach at the Vera Natura resort attracts naturists in their thousands. “It’s the pervs more than the police who cause problems,” says 42-year-old Chloe, a Limassol-based nude bathing enthusiast. “Despite all these warnings Avdimou seems to have gained the reputation as the non-official nudist beach of Cyprus.”

Athens has long harboured ambitions to make Cyprus part of the Greek territory like Crete and other islands in the Aegean Sea, causing obstacles to ...

“The two-state solution is now well settled in Ankara,” says Bozkurt, the prominent Turkish Cypriot politician. “The Cyprus conflict has its own idiosyncratic parameters and complications to solve the conflict. The current status quo provides international recognition to the Greek Cypriots who exploit this unlawful and unjust status against the Turkish Cypriots,” says Lakadamyali. This Greek political agenda has long been the primary reason for why negotiations between Turkish and Greek Cypriots failed from time to time. But also, regional tensions between Türkiye and Greece from the Aegean Islands to Eastern Mediterranean make the dispute more complicated. The Greek side also prefers the current status-quo, which is to keep the issue unresolved.
