With a strong religious influence and traditional values permeating the political and social fabric of Greece, Athens Pride took some time to gain traction. In recent time, the Greek capital has become increasingly more open towards the LGBTQ community, making Athens Gay Pride worth penciling into your gay events' calendar this year. The gay pride event of the Greek capital is c elebratory with parties and events, but it also carries a strong social message.
Athens Gay Pride Week is normally held the first week of June, and is the city's largest genuflection to the local LGBTQ community.
