WHERE TO GET YOUR KIT OFF. 

BARE BOATING

It should provide perfect vacation for those  who would like to explore  the 
Greek islands and enjoy a "clothing  optional" lifestyle.   You can tan all over, or wear your swimsuit, play beach games, waterski, or just sunbathe.  It's up to you.

The term
'bare boat' charter  
may at first lead to a little confusion, until one learns that it only means renting the bare boat. 
i.e. a boat without
a crew.  

However once you do  have a boat, and you are afloat in your own little world, its up to you, you can be as bare as you like.

Let us point you to a few companies who will steer you to an experience where you can shed you clothes and your cares.

Low cost:

Starting with the least expensive, you could consider the naked lunch, or rather a naturist fish picnic by boat.  
It is one of the excursions on available on a holiday in at Valalta in Croatia organised by Peng Travel, the largest and best known naturist holiday specialist in Europe.
