===== About Us =====
{{placeholder.jpg?nolink|}}
We are a group of people both from the **southern and the northern part** of Cyprus.
Primarily, we wish to bring people together for **events and activities** at home and garden in private properties as well as on remote beaches. Also to connect residents from the island with travellers so that they all can **enjoy time without textiles** in their holidays. Particularly, we aim to provide an encouraging environment for first-timers to get out of their "comfort zone".
== Freedom, Comfort, Practicality ==
So why? It's about practicality. It's about comfort & freedom, especially in a hot climate such as in Cyprus. No tan lines, no wet textiles. It's about feeling water and wind overall on your body, connecting to nature.
== Nudity ≠ Sex ===
To make it clear: Nekkid Cyprus is **not about sex.** A quote attributed to Kurt Tucholsky puts it nicely: //"To associate a nude body always with the concept of eroticism, is about as intelligent, as to think always of eating in context with the mouth".// Just act relaxed and act normal, the same as you would do in any comparable clothed situation!
=== What does NEKKID mean? ===
{{ :alice1-s.jpg?nolink|}}
Should be **naturist**, should it be **nudist**? Each and every term has its supporters and its tradition. We decided to go beyond. The term **nekkid** may carry a mischevious, cheeky undertone. A fun way of being naked. Beyond ideology. Freeing ourselves from conservative social conventions. A positive stance that's what we are advocating!
