Paleochora Beach is a broad, sandy southwest-facing beach on the western side of the village of Paleochora. The beach is a little less than one kilometer long, and nudists gather over a few hundred meters at the northwestern end of the beach.

To find the nude area, orient yourself at the cluster of a few small hotels in the central part of the beach. These hotels are the only buildings on the sea side of the road that runs behind the beach. Standing near the hotels and facing the sea, walk to your right about 250 meters and you'll reach the nude area. The nude area is out of immediate view of the hotels and the road. This part of the beach is generally well attended with a nudist majority, although there is growing concern among regulars about continued textile encroachment. Furthermore, a few "no nudism" signs have gone up, but so far nudists just seem to ignore them, apparently without consequence. Be advised that you do need to wear clothing to patronize the beach bar at the far northwest end.
