LGBT Rights in Greece
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 decriminalised 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 recognised.

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+ travellers 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.

Mykonos is the quintessential Greek island destination, offering laid-back vibes, excellent food, and plenty of charm.

Known for beautiful beaches, whitewashed Cycladic architecture, and a lively atmosphere, Mykonos has fast become a premier vacation spot.

Wander the island’s quaint main town with cobbled streets, boutiques, and tavernas serving fresh Greek fare. Relax under the island’s sunny skies or experience the famous summer party scene.

For the perfect base, stay in one of Mykonos’ luxury resorts and hotels, many with stunning views of the azure Aegean Sea.

With its classic beauty, cosmopolitan allure, and welcoming spirit, it’s easy to see why Mykonos remains a coveted Mediterranean escape. Don’t miss the chance to experience this Greek island paradise, from its iconic windmills to its dazzling coastline dotted with beaches and secluded coves waiting to be discovered.

Things to do in Mykonos

Looking for fun and exciting activities to do in Mykonos? Look no further. From partying at some of the world’s best clubs to relaxing on the stunning beaches and admiring historic windmills, there is something unique to discover here. With its beautiful sunsets, vibrant culture, and endless attractions, Mykonos will not disappoint.

Exploring the captivating city of Mykonos Town is a must-do in Mykonos. This charming Mediterranean hub is filled with life and character, interspersed with quaint alleyways, bustling markets and shops, picturesque cafes, and traditional churches. Highlights include some of the most romantic spots in Little Venice and Paleokastro windmills – two iconic landmarks with beautiful white-washed architecture, exquisite Aegean Sea views, and plenty of incredible photo opportunities. Don’t forget to make stops at popular local attractions such as Paraportiani Church before retiring back to your resort for a well deserved break.

Mykonos is a paradise island, and one of its iconic symbols are the picturesque windmills on Kato Mili. Constructed in the 16th century, these seven windmills used to mill grain for locals for centuries. Nowadays, visitors are able to take in the stunning views from their highest point, as well as take photos of them as timeless reminders of Mykonos’ history! From there you get to view Little Venice, the harbor and Mykonos town at sunset. This is also an excellent spot to catch the famous “Mykonos breeze.” Be sure to get there early or around sunset to avoid crowds while taking in all its beauty – don’t forget your camera!

Bill & Coo Mykonos

One of Mykonos’ can’t-miss attractions is the wild nightlife. From traditional terraces to music venues, you’ll find plenty of places to get your groove on – especially at Scorpios Mykonos, a luxury beach club located in Paraga Beach. During the day, lounge by the pool with a refreshing drink; when the sun sets, Scorpios comes alive with lights and music. There are plenty of Balearic beats and twisted downtempo tunes to dance to while sipping on delicious cocktails. From Thursday to Saturday in summer months and year-round during winter months there are live DJs and international acts that play until dawn – so be sure to remember your dancing shoes.

Little Venice in Mykonos is a must-visit spot for anyone travelling to the island. It’s best known for its incomparable views of the Aegean sunset, but it’s just as much fun during the day or at night. Take a stroll through the charming streets and buy souvenirs from local vendors, or grab a snack like gyros, saganaki or souvlaki. There is also often live music in Little Venice at night – perfect for enjoying a delicious meal while you take in some local culture. Make sure to have a mojito or cold frappe to cool off after your adventure during July and August when boats line up along the building wall – an image that will stay with you forever.

Mykonos is home to plenty of stunning beaches, each one offering its own unique ambience. Ornos Beach is known for its white sand and crystal-clear waters. Head to Paradise Beach if you’re looking to soak up some sun while also enjoying the vibrant nightlife scene. Super Paradise, a world-famous beach, is home to Jackie O’s Beach Club and offers plenty of stellar views. Agia Anna Beach, on the north tip of Mykonos Island, has a gorgeous landscape featuring picturesque cliffs and coves. And if you’re looking for something more lowkey, try out Agrari Beach or Kalafatis Beach – two spots perfect for soaking up the tranquility at your leisure. No matter what kind of atmosphere you’re after, you can be sure that Mykonos has it in spades.
