Stays That Slay: Athens & Aegean Gay Cruise

A classic Greek hotel–and private sailing yacht–define our little cruise to some big gay hotspots.

After a few years’ hiatus, we are bringing back our sublime sojourn through the Cyclades islands. We kick it off in ancient Athens, then board our private motorized sailing yacht, Galileo. Visit Greece’s famous islands, including stylish Santorini and Mykonos – one of the world’s great gay hotspots. Like every cruise we offer, we took the time to find a hotel and ship we knew you’d love. Read on to learn more about these two stays that slay.

Electra Palace, Athens

A classic stay near the ancient Parthenon

Electra Palace is a fine example of idiosyncratic Greek architecture that incorporates eclectic classical elements. Stately and impressive but never loud, it blends elegantly with the historic buildings that surround it to create a fascinating whole. This is aristocratic Athens at its finest, opening up to you in the most welcoming of ways.

Enjoy your breakfast or a dip in the rooftop pool with stunning views of Acropolis Hill in the background, or pamper yourself with one of the many amenities, including an on-site spa and wellness centre. 

The Galileo

Discover the Greek Isles at 11 knots per hour

The perfect vessel to explore intimate ports of call, with 157 feet of rustic charm and modern amenities to help you settle in. Galileo also offers two decks with plenty of space to sunbathe. Best of all, with 18 crew and only 24 ocean-view rooms, know that you’ll be looked after. Now go take a dip in the crystal blue waters.
