Saunen & Cruising in Athen

Finding a gay sauna in Athens is easy compared to many other cities in the region, because the capital has a well-rehearsed sauna scene with several fixed addresses. Among the most famous is the Alexander Sauna, one of the oldest of its kind in the city, which extends over several floors and offers a sauna and steam bath, relaxation areas and a bar area. In addition, the Flex Sauna is a sought-after meeting place that has a slightly more modern orientation and attracts a mixed crowd of locals and travelers. Conveniently located in the city centre, both are easily accessible by metro.

Those looking for cruising outdoors in Athens are particularly familiar with the National Garden and the adjacent Zappeion near Syntagma Square, which are a classic meeting place after dark as soon as families and tourists have withdrawn during the day. There are also cruising-oriented shops in Gazi that complement the range of saunas. When it comes to indoor addresses, it is worth checking opening hours and possible theme evenings in advance, because the programme and crowds differ significantly depending on the day of the week. Outdoors, as usual, pay attention to discretion and consideration. The following tips will show you where a visit is worthwhile.
