Gay & Lesbian Athens
For the most part Athens' gay and lesbian scene is relatively low-key, though the
Athens Pride (
www.athenspride.eu
)
march, held in June, has been an annual
event since 2005, with celebrations centred on Plateia Klafthmonos. For night-
life, a new breed of gay and gay-friendly clubs have opened around town, espe-
cially in Gazi, but also in Makrygianni, Psyrri, Metaxourghio and Exarhia.
