Gay Tour Tips For Greece

Greece offers an array of opportunities for fantastic gay tours or couples experience. Gay travel to Greece will naturally include amazing sunrises, relaxing on white, sandy beaches, trekking to historical sites to explore ancient ruins, and ferrying between several of Greece’s breathtakingly beautiful islands. Whether you dream of a gay vacation that includes family fun like picking olives and exploring museums, a restful respite in a seaside resort with your partner, or a rowdy week of taking in the Athens nightlife with a group of friends, Greece will undoubtedly prove to be an ideal setting for your gay vacation.

Athens has a lively gay scene with several clubs and bars, as well as gay-owned and gay-friendly cafes, coffee shops and lodging options. For gay men interested in partaking in a bit of bathhouse culture during their gay vacation to Greece, there are two popular saunas in Athens. Athens Relax caters to a mixed-age clientele and is a large sauna directly across the street from one of Athens popular gay clubs, while the smaller Hera caters to a more mature clientele. There is also an unofficial gay beach area at Limanakia, which is south of Athens and a popular hangout for gay men.

No gay vacations to Greece would be complete without visiting Mykonos, one of the Greek Islands where folks on a gay vacation tour will find a warm, welcoming environment. Mykonos offers breathtaking scenery, exceptional beaches, a pulsating nightlife, a cosmopolitan atmosphere and friendly locals, making this a must-see spot for any Greek gay vacation. There are plenty of gay-friendly accommodations on Mykonos, including a gay-owned lodging that caters solely to gay travelers and is adults only. Another popular Greek island for gay travel is the Island of Crete. While you will not find a highly visible gay scene on Crete, you will find a few gay bars and establishments, gay beaches, a gay-owned bed and breakfast and a welcoming environment, making Crete a great choice for a gay vacation in Greece.

The Island of Lesvos ” often referred to as Lesbos ” is an obvious choice for lesbian travelers where they can explore Sapphos birthplace, take romantic strolls along pristine beaches, experience a hydrotherapy spa treatment, people watch over ouzo at a sidewalk caf and indulge in the friendly women-centered nightlife. Of historical importance to the lesbian community and always filled with lesbian travelers, Lesvos is a must-see for women on a gay vacation to Greece.

While Greece is largely a traditional, religious country as a whole, those on gay vacations will find a warm, welcoming atmosphere in most areas. To ensure that your time in Greece is the most fulfilling and relaxing break possible, consider visiting Greece as part of gay vacations, or work with a travel agency with experience planning gay vacations to Greece.
