Greece is one of the best destinations in Europe for gay travelers looking to go on a gay group holiday to Greece. In antiquity, Greece forged western civilization as we know it and created the first democracy - not bad considering they were endlessly waging war, not least on their fellow Greeks.
Here at Out Of Office, we truly understand the world you live in, and the world you want to explore. Our attention to detail, exceptional service and deep understanding of both luxury travel and LGBTQ+ travel make us a fantastic choice for those looking for a travel experience where exclusivity meets inclusivity.Greece was also a culture that accepted homosexuality (among men, at least). Ancient Greece's glory days didn't last for very long though. It became an outpost of the Roman empire and later became an Ottoman colony.
Greece's tourism sector remains hugely successful and one of the most popular destinations for Out Of Office travelers. The biggest draws in Greece are Athens and the Cycladic islands of Mykonos and Santorini. Enjoy the perfect climate, the ruins of antiquity and excellent boutique hotels.
Needless to say, Mykonos is Europe's most popular luxury gay holiday spot. It is known for its vibrant gay scene and is often referred to as the gay capital of Greece. The main town area, known as the Chora, is home to a variety of fabulous gay bars where visitors can enjoy a lively atmosphere. Additionally, Mykonos boasts multiple gay beaches and beach clubs that are always buzzing with a party vibe, as well as secluded beaches where visitors can sunbathe au naturel.
At Out Of Office, we specialize in combining inclusive service with exclusive travel experiences, but you can find non-LGBTQ+ specific information on travel in Greece by visiting our Greece destination page.

Greece is one of our most popular destinations for gay group trips. All group trips to Greece will begin in Athens, where you’ll find the most reliable ferry transfers to the islands. Athens is well worth exploring. You’ll want to see some of the great ruins, especially the Parthenon – the best-preserved buildings from classical Greece. Athens also has a lively gay scene, not least an excellent culinary scene.
A few days in Athens should suffice. You’ll catch the most reliable ferry transfers from Athens. Hundreds of charming Greek islands await you. The most famous islands are Mykonos and Santorini. Mykonos is where you go to party, while Santorini is more of a romantic destination. Both can get busy in peak season. There are also less bustling Greek islands to explore, such as Naxos and Syros.
Greece attracts around 38 million tourists each year. If you go to Greece once you’ll want to go back every year. The Greek language is around 5000 years old.
All of our gay group holidays to Greece include some island hopping. Some of our Greece group trips are centred around island hopping, so you’ll be visiting a new island every day. Planning your own island-hopping trip around Greece can be tricky. You have to book multiple ferry transfers and multiple hotels. You’ll also need to begin and end your trip in Athens to get the most reliable transfers and make sure you don’t miss your return flight! Joining a group trip alleviates all the worry. The trips have been plotted meticulously by destination experts. You just have to show up and have fun.
History enthusiasts will be in heaven in Greece. The country is packed with dazzling ancient monuments. Our Greece group trips include trips to some of the best historical places, including Delphi: here the oracle priestesses once shared their drug fulled prophecies. It’s one of the most numinous places you’ll ever see. Another highlight is Delos, a small island close to Mykonos that’s packed with ruins from antiquity.
“Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.”
“Super client centred service. From first contact I have had warm, efficient, friendly and flexible service.”
“I’m confident in giving Out Of Office a 5-star review! They are one of the leaders in this space without a doubt.”
The Parthenon is a temple complex perched on the hill of the Acropolis overlooking Athens. It dates back to the 5th-century BCE, classical Greece’s golden age. The temple is dedicated to the goddess Athena. It’s the must-see historical sight in Athens. The Parthenon is a symbol of harmony and elegance – the Doric columns are designed to look perfectly symmetrical. This temple represents a society at the height of political, economic and artistic sophistication.
It’s roughly a three-hour drive from Athens to Delphi but it’s worth it. You’ll find the Oracle of Delphi’s Temple on Mount Parnassus. The priestesses were gifted with the art of prophecy. Well, they took drugs and rambled, but people believed that they were predicting the future – who knows, maybe in some indefinable way they could. The oracles were among the most enigmatic figures of western antiquity. The site was abandoned in around 381 AD after paganism was banned.
The famous windmills by Alefkandra harbour are the most famous sight in Mykonos. They have come to symbolise the island. Wherever you stand in nearby Mykonos Town, you can see the windmills. They were originally built in the 16th-century by the Venetians. There are 16 windmills on the island.
