Athens gay guide
Athenians like to kick-off their (long) nights out with an evening stroll, stopping at their favourite watering holes along the way.

Similar is Enodia in Gazi, where you can get loose with an older crowd in a small summer garden and listen to all kinds of music. If you want to come across Greek bears, Big Bar nearby serves up a mellow mood, welcoming staff, gay anthems and themed nights—along with rivers of beer.

Or depart to old-school classic Koukles Club to see archetypal Greek drag in a grunge setting.

Athens is the dynamic capital of Greece and the birthplace of democracy itself. To walk its streets is to immerse yourself in ancient history and follow in the footsteps of some of the greatest minds the planet has ever known, from Socrates to Aristotle.

ABOUT THE CITY
Athens isn't just an LGBTQ-friendly city, it's a place with a very drawn-out history of sexual liberalism that prides itself on catering to all its communities, affording everyone the widest possible range of choices. While the history of homosexuality is an essential part of Greek culture, Greeks are very covert about their sexuality, possibly due to new Orthodoxy. Homosexuality is completely legal in Greece and more accepted in Athens than elsewhere in the country.
