It's also fun to see the comings and goings of people since the turnover rate is about a week. The beach at Kamares is surprisingly shallow and is perfect if you have children because you have to walk a long way before it gets deep enough to cause you worry. The sea is amazingly clean in the port. The beach is about a quarter mile stretch of sand that starts in the town of Kamares and goes to Agia Marina, with a small grove of trees in the middle, and a row of trees along the edge for shade. Though swimming nude is not officially practiced on the beach, people do it anyway in the less populated portions of the beach.
Women generally go topless anywhere they want on the beach and nobody cares.
The far side of Kamares is called Agia Marina. Some of the best swimming is on the rocks just beyond it and in fact nobody will care if you neglect to put on your bathing suit. There are a few restaurants on this side that you can go to for lunch though you should remember to put your bathing suit back on before you do. There are rooms for rent here as well and it is a little more quiet then the Kamares side, plus it is a lovely walk along the beach from town. There are several churches in Agia Marina that are worth the walk and the Folie Snack bar is a nice place for a frappe and a menu that is a bit more cosmopolitan then the more traditional extablishments.
