via Stay22About this place Alexander Sauna
Alexander Sauna is one of Athens’ long-running gay saunas, in Metaxourgeio—a neighborhood slowly gentrifying, but still rough, which pretty much sets the mood.
The place is functional. You get a sauna, a steam room, private cabins, a darkroom. No frills.
Athens’ gay scene mostly happens in Gazi and Monastiraki, and this sauna pulls from both. Most of the men here are Greek locals. They like a place they know, where there’s no fuss and prices aren’t jacked up for tourists.
Sauna culture in Athens moves at the city's Mediterranean speed: things get going late and go on forever. It’s worth checking out if you’re in town for more than a quick stop.

Had a really good experience here and staff were very helpful and polite. Can remember when they knew it was our first time there, they kindly introduced the building and facilities in detail, which made us feel much more comfortable. We only visited on a Monday around 10pm, and there were still more people then expected, so the atmosphere was good. We also had some fun and good moments with others there. Both the dry sauna and steam sauna were great, clean, and well maintained. Also nice to know they offer an €11 entry for people under 30 (on 01/06/26). My boy suggested there should be a no towel day and he will definitely be back! A very enjoyable visit and would recommend if you visit this beautiful city!
A great welcome, the facilities are good, and six floors is a good workout for the thighs. The only slight disappointment was that the jacuzzi wasn't up to the standard of the rest of the hotel.
I don't find it particularly special.
I have been there a lot of times but I always leave that place with a feeling that each time I go I step in to a timeloop. The facilities have many years to be renovated and some times the floor gets slippy from the showers and there are many possibilities to get injured just by walking near them. To be fair its a place you can relax and have good time by using its facilities but all the visitors look like that they don't deserve this place and they are not for this sauna. Keep providing us special man moments Alexander sauna and make some changes at your facilities we need you alive and fresh!!!
Thank you. I visited you and it was wonderful. The offers were a great idea, and I hope to visit again. I've visited many places, and this one was much better. The service was excellent, and the staff were respectful. Thank you for this place.
Overall, an excellent experience. The place stands out for its impeccable cleanliness, something I greatly appreciate. The atmosphere is very pleasant, with a diverse crowd, and the music is perfect for having a good time and relaxing. 😉 The only thing that could be improved is the maintenance of the showers, as not all of them had hot water during my visit. The staff was incredibly polite and respectful. Aside from that minor issue, it's a highly recommended place, and I would definitely return. Keep up the great atmosphere and cleanliness!
