Crete

Over the last few years, Crete has become a rather popular destination for gay travelers. Even gay cruise ships arrive in the largest ports of Crete. Given the fact that gay life in Crete is not particularly developed, we can only presume that this is the result of the amazing natural beauties of Crete. So, gays here won't find massive gay clubs and vivid gay neighborhoods. However, there other ways to meet people, locals and tourists, would be to visit a gay friendly beach.
