5Glyka Nera (Sweet Water Beach) – Crete

Accessible only by foot or boat, Glyka Nera lies between Chora Sfakion and Loutro on Crete’s south coast. The name comes from the fresh water that bubbles up from the ground. While not exclusively naturist, nudity is widely accepted here, especially on the eastern side. The beach has a remote feel and crystal-clear water. 

Why it stands out: Remote and wild with sweet spring water and natural shade.
