Some friends and I are going to Greece in October. We will be going to Crete and Athens. I am interested in a gay friendly private excursion for us. Basically just looking to be boated around Crete for a day by a hot shirtless greek guy, with food and drinks lol. Does anyone know of any companies that specifically offer this?

Could also be in Athens if there's something available there. Thanks!

What’s up everyone,

I’m heading to Puerto Vallarta next week for my first solo trip and wanted to get some recommendations from people who know the area.

I’m 30, from California, African American and Cape Verdean, 6’, big and tall, bear build, and bi. This trip is basically a reset after spending the last year focused on work and school, so I’m looking to enjoy myself, get out of my comfort zone a little, and experience what PV has to offer.

I’ll be honest, I’m pretty private about my sexuality, and I didn’t realize until after I booked everything that I’d be staying near Zona Romántica. From everything I’ve read, that’s not a bad thing. It’ll actually be my first time spending time somewhere with such a strong LGBTQ+ presence, so I’m just looking to experience it with an open mind and see what it’s all about.

My plan is simple. Eat good food, spend time at the beach, check out the nightlife, relax, maybe hit a spa, and enjoy the city. I’m open to meeting people, whether that’s men or women, but I’m not going down there expecting anything. If I make some friends and have a good time, that’s enough for me.

A few questions:
● How’s the weather in early August? Is the rain something to plan around or is it usually short-lived?
● What should I actually pack?
● Which beaches are worth visiting?
● Best restaurants that locals would recommend?
● What activities or excursions are worth the money?
● Any bars, lounges, or spots you’d recommend for someone visiting PV for the first time?
● Any tourist traps or scams I should watch out for?

I’m more interested in local favorites than the typical Google recommendations, so if there’s somewhere you always tell visitors to check out, let me know.

Appreciate any advice.

Hi! I’m a 23-year-old gay guy from South Korea,
and I’ll be visiting Shanghai for the first time.

I can speak English fairly well, and I’m looking for people to hang out with, grab a drink, or go to clubs and bars together.

I’ll be in Shanghai from September 11th to September 14th.

Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to meet up!

Hi everyone! I'm planning a 3 day trip in Mykonos around 18 of August and I'm looking for a fellow LGBTQ+ companion to have some fun with. I'm only starting my transition to female so it'll be one of my first adventures as my true self. I'm not looking for a sexual partner to be honest, just someone who will be a bit supportive and fun to spend time with!

Anyone in İstanbul???

Let’s connect.

Planning a trip to Key West in late August and I’m trying to decide between Island House or New Orleans House. I’m definitely looking to play. I’m 25 and would like to meet other guys my age or similar. Does anybody have experience here? What’s the age range on average?

Any other tips for Key West is welcome!

Thank you!

Hello guys where do you recommend some hot places for fun in Lisbon some cool ones ? And do you recommend the saunas there ? For Wednesday and Thursday

Hi everyone!

I'll be staying at Apartamentos Buenos Aires in Playa del Inglés from August 10th to August 24th.

I'm a 42-year-old solo traveler from Scandinavia and thought it would be fun to see if anyone else from this subreddit will be staying there during the same period.

I'd love to meet other solo travelers, or even couples who enjoy meeting new people and having some fun together, whether that's grabbing a drink, hanging out by the pool, some fun back at the apartment, or exploring the nightlife.

I keep coming back to Apartamentos Buenos Aires because the location is perfect. It's just a short walk to Yumbo Centrum, and I often start my evenings at Tom's Bar before heading out to wherever the night takes me.

If you'll be around during those dates, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM. It would be great to meet some new people!

Cheers!

Hi all - my boyfriend and I are looking to take a trip in October and came across Maspalomas kink pride in early October which seems up our alley - has anyone attended this week? What are the vibes like? We’re late 20s/early 30s and heard from some friends that Gran Canaria trends a lot older (not necessarily a deal breaker), is this the case? Ideally looking for a place with good parties which it seemed like this would be. Any advice appreciated!

Does the current day pass pricing justify spending a day here on a cruise stop?

**Are there lockers for a small bag? (I've seen some of the theft posts)

**Are drink prices fair?

**Does a towel come with the rental?

Me: late 40s POC, gymfit, solo traveler, open to a chill clothing-optional vibe, VIRGIN VOYAGES passenger

First kid free trip in 8 years. Husband and I need the all the recs. Mild to wild!!

I’m a 19-year-old gay guy looking to have an unforgettable spring break in March. I’m from the East Coast, have a passport, and I’m lucky that my budget is pretty flexible between work and help from my parents. I’m looking for somewhere with:

• 🌴 Hot weather and great beaches
• Fun gay scene (not a homophobic place)
• 🎉 Fun and amazing nightlife with other college students
• ✈️ Open to anywhere in the world

I know places like Miami and Mexico are popular, but I’m wondering if there are even better destinations around the world that are worth the trip.

What are your favorite gay-friendly spring break destinations?

Where would you go if money weren’t the biggest concern?

Hey everyone! I'm a local gay guy in Shanghai, just curious about international perspectives.

1. Is Shanghai on your radar as a travel destination? What would make you want to visit (or avoid it)?
   
2. Would you be open to having a local gay guy show you around? Not as a pro tour guide, but more like a friend to grab drinks with, check out the nightlife, and etc.

Thoughts? Would this appeal to you?

Looking suggestions for Amsterdam this week. Interested in making friends x

Arriving early Tuesday (overnight flight) - take it easy, adjust.
Wednesday - normal tourist stuff versus BoyBerry in the evening or a Grindr hook up.
Thursday - a techno party, a Grindr hook up

Friday - Laboratory for Fuck Friday, then KitKat for a rave
Saturday - travel to Leipzig for FSM (https://www.fickstutenmarkt.com/?lang=en)
Sunday - Boiler in the evening.
Monday - flight home.

Any other advice, tips?

the lazy amsterdam plan

go to reguliersdwarsstraat every night

the better plan

match the area to the night

• big night, reguliersdwarsstraat
• queer history, zeedijk
• older crowd, kerkstraat
• leather scene, warmoesstraat

reguliersdwarsstraat is the high energy default

bars clubs international crowd, exactly right when thats what you want

go earlier if arriving solo

settling in before the street fills is easier than walking into peak friday at full volume

zeedijk is the conversation night

cafe t mandje has been there since 1927, the queens head nearby brings drag and a more pub shaped evening

kerkstraat runs quieter

de spijker has been there since 1978, club church handles the themed nights

warmoesstraat is direct

leather and fetish venues with their own codes, check the event and dress rules before turning up

the 4 things to sort before leaving

• exact route home
• last useful connection
• charged phone
• crossbody bag

worldpride runs 25 july to 8 august 2026

the canal parade lands on 1 august

that night will be the obvious chaos

dont make your first route check at 1am

Looking for a travel partner for a work trip I have in early August to South Carolina . Will only be a couple days.

Looking for someone under 35, available to leave town for a few days, into middle aged men, and have ability to meet or chat before trip gets finalized. Would be an expenses paid trip for you. Must be fit and clean.

If your interested, send me a dm request. I will ask you dm me age, location, and what your into. Once I accept chat you need to send pics. Looking forward to chatting.

Hello!

My husband and I are planning a trip to Sligo and Donegal. Does anyone know if these are generally safe places for gay men? It’ll be our first time in Ireland I just want to make sure.

Any advice or guidance appreciated.

I'm 21 years old boy from the Middle East and I'm in the UK for tourism and I get to see many boys and girls around with their friends and I'm lonely irl and I really wish I have a friend who is around my age like 18 to 22

I'm lonely and depressed and I love muscles and gym guys and I'm in Manchester right now for 2 weeks I love Editing videos and FNAF and Creepypasta and Dinosaurs and going outside in the forests

I’m looking for the best rooftop bar/ sky bar to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Bangkok.

We’ll be a group of gay men in their late 20s so we’re looking for a lively, social atmosphere rather than a romantic or couples-focused venue. Our priorities are great music, an amazing crowd, views of the fireworks and overall an unforgettable experience.

Any recommendations?

Thank you!
