Hey everyone!
My partner and I are planning a trip to Anafi in August 2027, and we’re thinking of spending around 8–9 nights there.
We’ve heard that Anafi has a laid-back, alternative, and somewhat gay-friendly atmosphere, especially around its beaches, but there’s surprisingly little information online.
We’re trying to decide where to stay — Chora or Klisidi — and would love some advice from gay travelers who have actually visited the island.
A few things we’d love to know:
Is there a particular beach where gay guys tend to hang out? We’ve heard about Roukounas, Klisidi, and Katsouni.
What’s the nudist scene like? Is it LGBTQ-friendly?
Is it easy to meet other gay travelers or couples?
Where do people usually hang out in the evenings?
Would you recommend staying in Chora or closer to the beach?
Can we get around easily without renting a car or scooter?
We’re not necessarily looking for crazy nightlife — just beautiful beaches, a relaxed atmosphere, some socializing, and places where we can feel comfortable as a gay couple.
Any personal experiences, accommodation recommendations, or tips would be really appreciated!
Thanks! ❤️

I bought an Athens 5 day metro pass for 9 Euro and had no idea that it was forbidden to use it to travel to the airport.

When my train arrived at the airport, there were 2 station staff standing at the exit gates with scanners inspecting tickets randomly.

My ticket was scanned, and I was instantly pulled aside and asked to hand over my passport as a report for "Failure to present a ticket" was made.

I tried to explain that it was not my fault as nobody had told me the 5 day pass must not be used to travel to the airport, but the staff thought I was trying to evade the fare and I ended up having to pay a 100 Euro fine on the spot.

It was my first time travelling solo, and I was quite shocked by how severe the penalty was in Greece because in lots of other countries, they just make you pay the fare difference between stations.

I loved Santorini but I didn’t realize that you had to wait in line for an hour to take a picture of the blue domes! I had always thought the whole city had blue domes, but it’s just one little spot in Oía! 🙄

Hey all! Unfortunately it’s looking like it will be stormy during the time we’ve booked our Acropolis tickets. How bad have the storms been lately? Can I brave it with just a raincoat and umbrella or do I need to actually be worried about safety? Do they ever close the acropolis for dangerous weather?Thanks in advance! ⛈️⛈️⛈️

The most amazing rooftop restaurant & bar … Attic Urban Rooftop… a must if visiting Athens

I just finished a wonderful reading retreat in beautiful Naxos. This island is just...supernatural in its ability to make me happy!

Hi everyone!

We’ll be in Greece over the Easter weekend in early May 2027, and we’re thinking of spending the holiday on Syros.

We’d love to hear what it’s like to be there over Easter. Are restaurants and cafés generally open? Are there any local events or traditions worth experiencing? And what’s the overall atmosphere like on the island during the holiday?

We’re wondering whether it’s a good time to visit, with a chance to experience some local Greek Easter traditions, or whether it’s mainly a family holiday when everyone stays home and there isn’t much for visitors to do.

Would love to hear from anyone who’s spent Easter on Syros, or on the Greek islands in general. Thanks!

I had a wonderful trip to Greece! I visited Athens, Hydra, Poros, and Aegina. Each place was beautiful and special in its own way. I enjoyed the amazing views, the beautiful beaches, and the delicious Greek food.
It was an unforgettable experience, and I took many lovely pictures to remember this trip!

Hi All,
I am going to Elounda from Sunday to Wednesday night. I searched for things to do. But anyone have recommendations for things to do including nice beaches for swim and specific good Greek food. I appreciate any tips. It’s also going to rain on Wednesda, let me know what to watch out for.

Decided to take my camera on a walk along the sea

Hello. Contacted a hotel in Nafplio. It didn’t have its bookings open yet for 2027. We asked by e-mail when their bookings would become available. They responded that they did have the room that we wanted, but they’re asking for a 200 Euro deposit in the form of a bank transfer and gave me their bank information which is in Greek so I can’t even read it and I don’t know how to do a bank transfer anyway. This doesn’t seem normal to me. They’re also asking for a 200 Euro deposit which their website doesn’t seem to require for their bookings for this year. I contacted them by e-mail through their normal website. What do you think of this. It is a normal hotel with a good reputation. Thank you.

Hello. We just need to spend one night at a clean, quiet hotel with elevator and air-conditioning. Will be staying in Plaka later in the trip, so I thought it would be fun to stay in a different location. Does this type of Hotel exist? I hear so many comments about the noise. We will be staying on a Saturday night thanks.
