Gay Travel to Greece

Greece offers an array of opportunities for a fantastic gay vacation.
Gay travel to Greece will naturally include amazing sunrises, relaxing on white, sandy beaches, trekking to historical sites to explore ancient ruins, and ferrying between several of Greece's breathtakingly beautiful islands.
Whether you dream of a vacation that includes family fun like picking olives and exploring museums, a restful respite in a seaside resort with your partner, or a rowdy week of taking in the Athens nightlife with a group of friends, Greece will undoubtedly prove to be an ideal setting for your  travel plans.
Athens has a lively scene with several clubs and bars, as well as LGBT-owned and LGBT-friendly cafés, coffee shops and lodging options.
For men interested in partaking in a bit of bathhouse culture during their  vacation to Greece, there are two popular saunas in Athens.
Athens Relax caters to a mixed-age clientele and is a large sauna directly across the street from one of Athen's popular clubs, while the smaller Hera caters to a more mature clientele.
There is also an unofficial gay beach area at Limanakia, which is south of Athens and a popular hangout for men.
The Greek Island of Mykonos is well-known as a welcoming location for vacations and a hotspot for LGBT travel.
With pristine beaches, breathtaking scenery, a lively nightlife, friendly locals and a cosmopolitan feel, this island is an ideal stop on any vacation to Greece.
There are plenty of LGBT-friendly lodgings on Myknonos, including a LGBT-owned, adults only hotel catering exclusively to travelers.
Another great choice when choosing which Greek islands to visit during your travel is Crete.
While Crete does not exactly have a scene, this island that is popular with all types of travelers does have a LGBT-owned bed and breakfast, a handful of LGBT bars and establishments, beaches and a generally welcoming atmosphere, making this another great stop on a vacation to Greece.
The Island of Lesvos - often referred to as Lesbos - is an obvious choice for lesbian travelers where they can explore Sappho's birthplace, take romantic strolls along pristine beaches, experience a hydrotherapy spa treatment, people watch over ouzo at a sidewalk café and indulge in the friendly women-centered nightlife.
Of historical importance to the lesbian community and always filled with lesbian travelers, Lesvos is a must-see for women on  vacation to Greece.
While Greece is largely a traditional, religious country as a whole, those on vacations will find a warm, welcoming atmosphere in most areas.
To ensure that your vacation to Greece is the most fulfilling and relaxing break possible, consider visiting Greece as part of an organized travel tour, or work with a travel agency with experience planning gay vacations to Greece.
