Your towel is your best friend
This is something only naturists truly understand, and it’s probably the most common "rookie mistake." You take a stroll around the site, spot one last empty chair by the pool, settle in comfortably and look around, and then you notice it… Everyone, without exception, is sitting on a towel. We naturists see this as a matter of hygiene.
The easiest approach is to simply bring your towel with you everywhere, even if you don’t actually plan to sit down. That way you’re less likely to forget it and won’t have to walk all the way back if you suddenly spot that one empty chair by the pool.
Selfie means just that: a self-shot
Naturists literally bare themselves, which creates a huge sense of freedom. Yet it also leaves you vulnerable, which is why we place great importance on safe and respectful recreation. For that reason, taking photos of nudity on Athena is strictly prohibited.
You may take photos or selfies of your own family in your own spot, but at the park this is not allowed. By the pool, we ask
that you avoid using smartphones, cameras, and tablets. Relax and enjoy the sunshine—you don’t have to share everything
During activities, photos may be taken with the consent of those involved. These images may only be used within Athena’s private groups on social media.
Photos for publication may only be taken with explicit consent from all parties involved.
