Nudism in Greece
Nude Beaches, Nudist resorts, Groups in Nudism in Greece
When you think of nudity and Greece, you might think of the ancient Olympic games, in which the athletes performed nude. Ancient greece was, in fact, quite comfortable with nudity, as evidenced by the nude paintings on recovered vases, pottery and statues. Not only did athletes perform nude, often slaves or laborers worked nude as well. Nudity didn't have near the stigma that it does in most of the world today. When you think of nude statues, you may think of an ancient Greek or Roman statue... or a Renaissance nude statue, and of course much of the goal in the Renaissance days was getting back in touch with Greek and Roman classical ideas of art and intellect.
In modern times, Greece is a popular and lovely destination for nudists. In fact Jacqueline Onassis (Jackie Kennedy), who had been the wife of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, was known to have swam nude on the Greek island of Skorpios.
