SANTORINI, GREECE has been on my bucket list for a while now! A friend just came back and stayed at PERIVOLAS  and after seeing the photos he shot there, I moved it up my bucket list! Talk about picture perfect! He said watching the sunset from the infinity pool was just amazing. Rooms are pricey at  $550-$1000  a night. But he said even if you can just splurge for a night or two, it’s worth it.

Built amphitheatrically, Perivolas’ secluded location combines expansive views with the luxury of absolute tranquillity. To protect guests’ privacy, fragrant fig trees, red-hot geraniums, and brilliant bougainvillea surround the houses. Terraced gardens spill down the slope to the infinity pool, which seems to slip off the rim of the cliff and bleed into the blue horizon.

Santorini is a beautiful warm and hospitable island located in the Aegean, and in many ways idyllic for gay vacation visitors. The gay scene in Athens Thessaloniki and Mykonos has grown in recent years. There is  a greater abundance of openly gay venues, which no longer feel the need to hide behind close doors. Some of the more attractive islands for tourist such as Santorini are catching up fast. Santorini has gay beaches, gay friendly hotels and great night life! So far, there is no gay night club in Santorini – but I am sure one is coming soon!
