Is Greece Generally a Welcoming and Safe Destination for LGBTQ Travellers?

Yes, Greece is a largely LGBTQ-friendly destination, particularly in major cities and the relaxed Greek islands. However, the Greek Orthodox Church’s influence could make rural areas less welcoming.

What Should I Avoid in Greece?

What Customers Are Saying

LEE'S HONEYMOON TO GREECE

I'm never planning a trip on my own again

"A wonderful travel experience begins with thoughtful planning. From the very first step Bastiaan got to know us both - what we liked, what we didn't, and drew out of us angles of the experience ahead we hadn't even thought of. That turned into a trip plan like no other and something I could have never created on my own. The personal concierge service available while we were traveling was invaluable. There is no doubt we picked the absolutely best partner to work with. Don't make your trip a 'DIY trip'. Work with Mr Hudson and you will have the experience of a lifetime!"
