The state of LGBTQ+ rights has made significant progress in recent years in Greece, although hardships and inequalities still persist in areas outside of the major cities. The country has undergone a widespread legal and societal transformation that has begun to improve the rights and protections for LGBTQ+ individuals.
When it comes to legal advancements, Greece decriminalized same-sex sexual activity in 1951, and in 2015, the Greek Parliament passed a law that recognized civil partnerships for same-sex couples, granting them legal recognition and many of the same rights as married heterosexual couples. However, marriage equality has still not been achieved, as same-sex marriages are not legally recognized.
The legal system in Greece prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in employment and certain other areas. However, LGBTQ+ individuals continue to face discrimination and social stigma in various aspects of their lives. Homophobic and transphobic attitudes persist in some parts of society, especially in more remote and rural areas.
On a positive note, Athens, the capital city, has a vibrant LGBTQ+ community with a thriving nightlife scene, with an annual Pride parade that attracts thousands of participants from across the globe. LGBTQ+ organizations and advocacy groups in Greece actively work to promote equal rights and social acceptance.
Though LGBTQ+ travelers can enjoy visiting all areas of Greece’s diverse landscape, the gorgeous island of Mykonos is a particular favorite amongst the LGBTQ+ community. In Mykonos, you’ll find a plethora of gay-focused bars and clubs as well as some of Europe’s most beautiful gay beaches.
Accommodation
The large room offers a child bed in addition to the king-sized four-poster bed. The design is open plan, with screen separators that are reminiscent of the retro breeze blocks used on Greek islands in the 1960s. Ideal for small families.
Ideal for couples, the extra-large room features a super-king four-poster bed, as well as an open plan with breeze block screens, much like the large rooms. You’ll also enjoy Acropolis views.
Ideal for group or family travel, the family room is made up of interconnecting large and small rooms, so you’ll double up on lounge and work areas. Sleeping a maximum of four adults, one child, and one infant, these rooms feature two four-poster beds and singles for the little ones. Ample natural light streams in through spacious double-glazed windows, providing views of either an atrium or the city, along with a distinctive glass brick feature wall. You’ll find a communal kitchen on every floor of this hotel, ideal if you’d like to make meals with your group.
