SS-Gay Friendly
« on: June 16, 2009, 05:11:32 PM »
Hi-We fell in love with the sound of SS and have really enjoyed the forum, we travel to SS in July and are too counting down the days to get away from the rat race and eat drink and be merry-we are not expecting any gay nightlife (god forbid) but the nearer it gets to the big day are a tad worried about the reception gay people might recieve-all comments greatly appreciated-San

No problems............. we have met a few gay people in San Stef but then again we don't differentiate. People are people no matter what differences from ourselves.

You will have a great time in SS. Whatever preferences you have you will not be judged by anyone whether locals or visitors. SS is a truly lovely place and you will fall in love with it's laid back ways. :) Just enjoy

Definately no problem, it has been a place for all persuasions to relax in since the first time we went. There were gay couples there then, although it was much quieter. I work with a lot of gay staff and we have many gay friends, we always recommend S S to everyone, the key thing is it's very friendly!
As Don says, no one these days should make any big deal about someone's preference's, it's a case of a bit of mutual respect and no one crossing over the line!! Have a good time!! There are no specific Gay Clubs locally, bound to be one in Corfu Town!!

hi San

Just a bit more reassurance for you.

me and my friends have been a few times now and last September we met 2 guys (gay) where we were staying (Tereza). we instantly made a lifetime friendship with them and had a laugh all holiday. i think they were a bit apprehensive at first as had never been there, and were regulars to Kefalonia. however, they were made to feel welcome as is everybody and i am glad to say we kept in touch back home.

We met a few times for meals and nights out and even spent New year with them, and have since had a reunion holiday this May, where as usual we were all welcomed back as old friends.

We are going out this weekend actually as well, and they have decided to go for the 2 weeks next May and we are all booking up together. So they have changed to SS from kefalonia, so that in itself has to say something !!!

Enjoy !!!!

Hi Sarah, I'm sure we met you last Sept in SS, remember Rock Pig?

Re the Gay issue, it isn't an issue at all. We also met a gay couple in sept at Tereza, so assuming it was the same guys, also met a lesbian couple when we were there the previous may, neither couple had anything negative to say about their reception in bars, hotels or restaurants in the village
