The island is known for being one of the most peaceful ones while it displays an authentic and laid-back lifestyle. A genuine hotspot fitting for travellers looking for an exquisite destination to relax by the sea overlooking unspoiled bays and calm waters. Lesbos is considered as a high tranquility place immersed in nature and cultural heritage.
Even though the island is a benchmark for lesbians, the gay life is totally unorganised as there are none gay exclusively venues and the only cruising or real ''freedom'' you can get is on the secluded beaches. The most beautiful ones are the bay of Skala Eressos and the Vatera Beach. If you are interested in finding more unspoilt treasures ask some locals for a friendly advice.
Other entertainment besides the crystal clear waters are the stylish gay-friendly cafe venues scattered around the island. For a laid back morning coffee visit the Status Cafe or the Music Cafe, both classy and welcoming. You can also indulge yourself in the traditional pastries of Lesbos in the Margaritari venue or enjoy a rejuvenating cocktail in Parasol.
The community of Lesbos is an open minded one due to the islands characteristics but the traditional locals prefer not to see revealing relationships due to the strong church prevalence.
If Lesbos is the destination you are urging to visit, check out our amazing Hotel Collections and choose the suitable accommodation for you.
If you are travelling with your partner and are in need of some private time, choose isolated beaches to enjoy your time together. Lesbos is a big island so you will surely find one or two totally unspoilt ones.
Keep a discreet profile in front of the locals. They will not treat you any differently for you being yourself, but if you show your intimate relationship to others you may create an awkward situation.
