No one wants to pay those baggage fees, so Sykscanner suggests “nakations,” which about two percent of holidaymakers do in part to avoid extra charges.

 

“With no bulky clothes, packing for a naked holiday is simple. Just remember ample supplies of sun block! Cheap flights comparison site Skyscanner.com reveals the top five places to strip off,” the site says.  

Recommended areas:  

---Helsinki, Finalnd. “Finns have long enjoyed getting hot and naked with their friends and the country boasts an average of one sauna for every household. The Kotiharju Sauna in Helsinki claims to be the only remaining public sauna in the city that is still heated by a wood burning stove and is highly recommended as a place to strip off with up to 30 other strangers and steam yourself silly,” the site says.  

---Naked Golf at La Jenny, France. “Easily reached with plenty of cheap airfare to Europe, La Jenny naturist resort in South West France offers Europe’s only naked golf course,” according to Skyscanner.  

---Naked Village, Costa Natura, Spain. ”This cosmopolitan village on the Costal Del Sol has nearly 200 apartments and was the first naturist settlement in Spain. Fans of nakedness enjoy the freedom of roaming in their birthday suits in a quiet, secluded place with fellow nude enthusiasts,” says Skyscanner.  

---Naked Festival, Japan. “Every year in the town of Okayama, 9,000 scantily clad men take to the streets to celebrate Hadaka Matsuri – Naked Festival. An important Shinto tradition, the event has become popular with tourists who also join the locals dressed only in loin cloths,” according to the site.  

---Naked scuba diving anywhere. ”If coming close to creatures of the underwater world isn’t exciting enough – why not take skinny dipping to new depths with a naked dive? Buff Divers is a company that offers ‘clothing optional’ scuba at sites all around the world,” according to Skayscanner. “Cold water dives are obviously out, so expect tropical locations and warm seas.”  

Skyscanner is a leading travel search site providing instant online comparisons on flight prices for over 670,000 routes on over 600 airlines.
