Yesterday we were discussing with my boyfriend about making a trip during the Christmas weekend somewhere in Greece – on New Years Eve weekend he’ll visit his parents. But while we were searching for possible destinations he noticed that we would feel so uncomfortable because all these hotels in the mountains will be full of straight couples and typical big Greek families; being two guys together those days we’ll become an open subject for discussion for them. One could say, “who cares?” but we do actually because we don’t want people looking down on us and behave strange and suspiciously to us. Someone not Greek cannot understand it but it happens. If it was an ordinary weekend there would be no problem, but it’s those shitty “family” days… And it doesn’t exist a kind of winter place where young people would go cool with friends, a little bit gay-friendly etc. At least not during the Christmas time.
We didn’t talk about traveling abroad – which it would be great - because we don’t want to spend much money now (since we have already planned to make a trip during Easter holidays) apart from Sofia, Bulgaria that he suggested but I didn’t find it a good idea traveling 12 hours by bus and visiting Byzantine churches and monasteries… So he will go to his parents earlier and we booked air-tickets to fly to Thessalonica for 4 days in March instead!
