Athens is a welcoming city with various LGBTQ+-friendly spots to explore. Here are some popular places to consider visiting:
St. Irene Square: Located in the Monastiraki area, St. Irene Square has several LGBTQ+-friendly bars and cafes, such as Noiz Club.
Although Greece has made significant strides in LGBTQ+ rights over the years, the community still faces challenges and difficulties. These challenges make events like Athens Pride even more important, as they provide a platform for awareness, acceptance, and celebration of the LGBTQ+ community.
One of the – LGBTQ+ – challenges Greece faces is same-sex marriage. For example, marriage is not recognised and adoption rights for same-sex couples are limited. Transgender people also face legal barriers, making it challenging for them to get their gender identity legally recognised.
During Pride last year, I volunteered to support the organizers. What struck me most was the detachment from politics of any colour. This is something that absolutely needs to change.
More than ever, Pride in Athens is so important.
