Gay hotels in the narrower sense, i.e. purely gay houses, are hardly available in Athens, but the city as a whole is gay-friendly and uncomplicated. When choosing accommodation, it is therefore less about a special label than about the location. If you want to have the nightlife on your doorstep, look for accommodation in Gazi, Kerameikos or in the neighboring Psyrri, because most bars and clubs are within walking distance from there. At the same time, these districts are well connected to the metro, so that the Acropolis and the center can also be reached quickly.
If you like it quieter and more touristy, you are in good hands in Monastiraki, Plaka or around Syntagma Square. From here you can walk to the major sights and take a taxi or the metro, which is only a few stops away, to go out in Gazi. South of the Acropolis, the Koukaki neighborhood has become a popular, laid-back residential area with many small apartments in recent years and is well suited for longer stays. Plan around Athens Pride in June and earlier in the high season because the sought-after houses are booked out faster. The following selection will help you choose the location and accommodation that suits your stay.
