One of Santorini’s most iconic properties, Canaves Oia Suites is a luxury escape with stunning suites, many complete with private pools. This elegant oasis has a rich history, as the traditional winery of Santorini in the 17th century, ingeniously carved into the island’s dramatic cliff face.
Today, the inimitable Santorini architecture lives on through the property’s minimalist design. You’ll discover spacious and airy accommodations lined with whitewashed walls and arched doorways that spill out onto sprawling terraces. Here, private plunge pools provide front-row views of the dazzling Aegean Sea and Santorini’s famed Caldera.
As the sun dips towards the sea, the Caldera’s rocky cliffs ignite in hues of burnt orange and pink. You can take in this fabled Santorini sunset while lounging poolside with a glass of local Assyrtiko wine. After dark, flickering candles and strings of lights cast a romantic glow to compliment the celestial canopy of stars overhead. This iconic retreat promises endless luxurious surprises.

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.
