Though there are a variety of popular gay nightclubs, Lamda is one of the most popular. The atmosphere is dark and eclectic, attracting a wide range of crowds. House, pop, and Greek music blare through the speakers at this Athens club.

The party kicks off fashionably late at Wild Rose, and keeps pumping long into the morning hours. Though it’s only open in the winter, it is a popular favorite among Athenians and visitors. Tuesdays are notable for live music, Wednesdays are all about the ‘80s, and Thursdays are ladies night. Plan accordingly!
