From the Cyclades where you’ll find the stunning Mykonos and Santorini – ideal for a romantic holiday in the Greek Islands – to the capital of Athens with its titanic architecture and history, Greece has a lot to offer. Perfect for a history buff wanting to brush up on their knowledge of Ancient Greece, the city of Athens remains a treasure trove of original buildings and landmarks dating back to the 5th-century BC.
The famous Acropolis museum is a must visit and we specialise in arranging knowledgeable and private guides to ensure you get the best possible experience.
If you’re hoping to relax and catch some sun then head down to Mykonos. Known for its beautiful beaches and its summer party atmosphere and laid-back vibes, the island of Mykonos has fast become the go-to destination over places like Ibiza. Still a quaint island though, Mykonos town has beautiful tavernas and a melting pot of wonderful restaurants. You’ll find cobbled streets and an abundance of boutiques.
For the perfect Greek honeymoon destination, you’ll find the island of Santorini an ideal choice. With its rugged landscape – a result of a volcanic eruption almost 4000 years ago – the towns of Fira and Oia are set on the cliffs of a large underwater crater known as the caldera which was created when the centre of the island collapsed.
It’s a great idea to pair both Mykonos and Santorini and take the ferry between the two islands. The approach to Santorini is rather special. Most facilities on the islands close in the middle of September so be sure to visit before then. Santorini is also a great hiking destination and the island’s resorts are luxury in both appointment and vision.
The state of LGBTQ+ rights in Greece has reached a major milestone with the legalization of same-sex marriage in February 2024, marking a transformative step toward equality. This historic move makes Greece the first predominantly Orthodox Christian nation to embrace marriage equality, granting same-sex couples the legal right to marry and adopt children. It follows decades of progress, including the decriminalization of same-sex sexual activity in 1951 and the introduction of civil partnerships in 2015.
In addition to marriage equality, Greece has enacted significant protections for LGBTQ+ individuals. Anti-discrimination laws prohibit bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity in employment and other areas. Transgender individuals have been able to legally change their gender without requiring surgery since 2017, further reflecting the country’s commitment to inclusivity.
While urban centers like Athens and Thessaloniki are hubs of LGBTQ+ culture and activism, challenges remain in more rural and conservative areas, where traditional attitudes persist. However, advocacy groups and activists continue to push for broader societal acceptance, ensuring the full implementation of these new rights.
Athens boasts a vibrant LGBTQ+ scene, with a thriving nightlife and the annual Athens Pride Parade, which draws participants from across the globe. Thessaloniki also celebrates its own Pride events, contributing to Greece’s growing culture of inclusion. For LGBTQ+ travelers, Mykonos remains a favorite, renowned for its gay-friendly beaches and dynamic nightlife. Other destinations, such as Crete and Rhodes, are increasingly recognized for their welcoming environments.
With the legalization of same-sex marriage and a steadily evolving societal landscape, Greece is becoming a beacon of progress and a more inclusive destination for LGBTQ+ individuals.
