Greece is one of our most popular destinations for gay vacations and with world-class gay nightlife, stunning villas and gay beaches, it’s not hard to see why. Any gay vacation to Greece must begin in Athens, where you’ll find the most reliable ferry transfers to the surrounding islands as well as the country’s densest concentration of gay bars and clubs. 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 blossoming artistic spirit, not least an excellent culinary scene.
A few days in Athens should suffice, after which we always recommend heading to the country’s archipelago of islands. 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, and both are fantastic destinations for a gay Greek vacation. Mykonos is where you go to party, while Santorini is more of a romantic destination, complete with intimate cave suites and stunning infinity pools. Both can get busy in peak season, so consider visiting in the shoulder seasons to avoid the heaviest crowds. There are also less bustling Greek islands to explore, such as Naxos, Ios 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.
Fans of History are in for a treat on their gay Greece vacation, as the country is home to a truly astonishing variety of well-preserved ancient monuments and insights into the country’s vast and influential cultural heritage. Ancient Greece was one of the first civilisations to embrace male homosexuality, and as you tour the country’s museums and galleries, keep an eye out for artefacts and artworks that illustrate this uniquely pre-modern practice. Athens is where you’ll find Greece’s most famous cultural institutions, including the National Archaeological Museum and the Acropolis Museum.
Situated atop the towering Mount Parnassus, the sanctuary of Delphi is another incredibly popular site of historical significance in Greece, and the purported home of the mythical Oracle of Delphi – a supposedly omniscient prophet whose predictions can either be read as the communicated words of the god Apollo, or simply the drug-fuelled ramblings of an isolated individual. However you choose to understand Delphi, a visit to this spectacular spot won’t be one you forget in a rush.
It’s not just testaments to the country’s ancient civilizations that make Greece such an enjoyable country to explore; Athens and Mykonos both boast world-class gay nightlife scenes. Whilst the nightlife venues in Athens offer a more authentic slice of Greek gay culture and community, those on Mykonos’ sun-soaked shores are very much tailored towards the hordes of globe-trotting gays who visit the island every year. It’s in Mykonos that you’ll find whitewashed beach bars overflowing with revelers.
The final feature of Greek culture that keeps visitors coming back is the light and refreshing flavors of the country’s national cuisine. Whilst each town and island has its own take on the Greek palette, wherever you travel you can expect nothing but fresh ingredients and back-to-basics culinary creations. From Souvlaki and Gyros to Mousaka and Spanakopita, Greece’s speciality delicacies offer a taste sensation that promises to delight any palette.
