There isn’t really such a thing as a gay Santorini hotel – the island is not known for its gay scene, and there are no gay venues you’d want to stay close to. That said, many gay visitors on the island choose to stay in the capital of Fira, where you’ll find the island’s best mixed nightlife. The hotels on this list are all in or close to Fira, so you can conveniently enjoy everything the island has to offer.
On Santorini, it’s all about the caldera views. The island was once home to one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history, which created its unique shape. Tall cliffs line the edge of the main island, encircling the caldera (lagoon) formed by the volcano. The sunset over the Santorini caldera is one of the most famous in the world, and people from all over flock to see it. Hotels have wised up to this, so most hotels offer private terraces with sunset views – that said, look out for those with extra perks, like outdoor jacuzzis and hot tubs facing the view, for something truly special.
Santorini isn’t as gay as Mykonos, but it’s still an island that depends almost exclusively on tourism, so gay lovebirds are just as welcome as straight ones. All hotels are gay-friendly and you are unlikely to attract any attention with public displays of affection.
Greece is one of the most progressive countries in Southeast Europe when it comes to gay rights. Same-sex sexual activity has been legal since 1951, gay marriage since 2015, and its hate speech and hate crime legislation is among the most comprehensive in all of Europe.
Most gay travelers to Santorini book hotels in Fira, the largest town on the island and home to the best bars, restaurants, and of course world-class views which Santorini is famous for.
