The Athens gay scene is growing, though you have to know the places to go, there are usually no signs of gay flags outside to point out what it is. The main gay village is at Gazi, where most of the gay venues are located just north of "Kerameikos " metro station. Especially at the corner of Iera Odos street with Megalou Alexandrou street you'll find many bars. Once inside it's quite entertaining, some nice clubs and bars.

Athens gay guide

Athens gay guide

Athens is a very nice destination for the gay visitor. During the day there are many beautiful things to see, on summer days it has nice beaches. In the evening Athens has got a wide choice of nice restaurants and at night there is a vivid gay night life, with several gay bars, clubs and gay saunas. Like in all Mediterranean countries evening dinner is very late, and gay night life starts even much later.

Where to stay in Athens?

Where to stay in Athens?

The best area to stay in Athens is Thiseio (map). This is a very romantic area, with a view on the Acropolis. From here it is only a 15 minute walk to the gay bars and clubs, and the metro brings you in any other direction.

If you visit in mid summer and want to stay close to the beach, the Faliro area is a good place to stay. It's located next to the beach. See our hotel page for more information and recommendations.
