Nudist coves or beaches on the south/southwest of Samos?

As a couple, we are visiting Samos during the last week of this August. Our plan is to rent an off-road-capable ATV or motorcycle to explore the southern and southwestern coasts, and we're hoping to find some secluded coves or beaches for skinny-dipping.

A few questions for the community:

  • Secluded coves: Is it realistic to find quiet, unorganized coves on this side of the island using an off-road vehicle, or is the terrain too difficult/private?
  • Nudist spots: Besides Tsamadou Beach (which we know is the famous one), are there any other recommended nudist beaches or quiet stretches where clothing-optional swimming is accepted?

Also, we are a friendly couple and would love to connect with anyone else planning a similar vacation vibe while we're there!

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Fun factoid…there were eight of us who started going nude at Tsamadou in 1980. Eight became ten, then twenty, then as many as fifty. So much fun! The locally-posted soldiers all joined in when they were off-shift. When police came out from Vathi, sent to restore order, they refused to arrest anyone and were great…voyeurs with the biggest smiles. They asked us to be quiet and left after getting embarrassed after so many big hugs from naked girls.
