Greece is one of the main tourist destinations in the world, combining a rich cultural heritage with uncountable beaches in the Eastern Mediterranean. Even if few of them are officially sanctioned, there is a large number of places where nude sunbathing is possible. Gymnos is an Android app that helps you find them.
Thiss app is really simple, it just shows a map of Greece with the position of the nude beaches. You can navigate through the map to select one of them, and then Gymnos redirects you to the Google Maps app. No additional information is shown.
The benefit of Gymnos is, then, to list together all the nude beaches in Greece, and so to evaluate it we can check how exhaustive that list is.
We have compared the number of beaches in this app and in three well known sites which can be taken as a reference: NakedPlaces, Cap'n Barefoot and NudistCompass.
Let's see a few examples:
In this sample we can see that Gymnos includes 80% of the beaches in NakedPlaces, but only 48% of those in Cap'n Barefoot. That is normal, since the later is the bible of naturism in Greece and its detailed information also includes beaches where nudism is no longer possible or only in certain periods of the year.
The last column let us compare Gymnos with Nudist Compass, another app to find nude places around the world. In this comparison Gymnos is clearly below, but we have to take into account that Nudist Compass, as we have already explained in this post, allows users to add new beaches, so those results may not be verified.
We can see that Gymnos does not provide anything really new if we already know our destination, but it does allow us to find the nudist beaches that exist in any area of Greece very quickly. And above all, it simplifies the task to look for the route towards them.
