has anyone been to or live in Athens and can report what its like?I hear the bars are open but only until midnight?

I don't think Aquarius ever closed, throughout the pandemic lockdowns all you had to do was hang around outside for a few minutes and someone would come out and let you in, of course its much quieter inside and less options, but its been open the 3 times I had to go to Istanbul.

oh yes Im sure it was all about keeping face infront of the other workers, my gaydar in Turkey was thrown off many times, lots of overly masculine types.

I also worked in Istanbul for some time when Covid first started to die down here and the rules were relaxed, I visited Aquarius a few times. I found that they all said they were absolute 100% tops, and even though I am a top some were so hot I couldn't resist I would still agree to take them to the cabin, I would say at least half would bottom for me. I also fell for a silly scam on Grindr, some very handsome man said he would come to my Airbnb, he did, took his clothes off and put a knife down on the table, said that he didn't feel like sex so If I could give him the money and he would come back tommorow for the sex, of Course he didn't but how could I argue with a knife there. It was only 300lira anyway, about 35euro. He actually wasn't very smart as I was there for 2 months and it could of been a nice money earner for him.

@Santiagodc such a great and informative post, thanks. I also work in Athens quite often, well before Covid. Ive been to a few of the places that you mention, the two bars you mentioned are my favourites, also Bizzar club is also really good and near Samis and Testme.I sadly learnt the owner of Testme passed away recently, he was quite young.
