Sauna Alexander

על המקום הזה Sauna Alexander

Sauna Alexander is among the most established of Athens' gay saunas, operating in the Metaxourgeio area within easy reach of the Gazi gay district. The facility is well-equipped in the contemporary sauna model: steam room, dry sauna, private cabins, communal lounge area, and the general infrastructure of a serious bathhouse operation. The clientele is a mix of Athenian regulars — men for whom the sauna is part of a weekly social and physical routine — and international visitors who have sought out the address from travel guides and recommendations. Sauna Alexander operates within the Greek tradition of the bathhouse as a space that is social as well as sexual, and the atmosphere reflects this: the aggression of some northern European saunas is absent, replaced by a Mediterranean ease that makes the space comfortable for those new to the sauna experience and rewarding for veterans. The combination of good facilities and a welcoming culture gives Sauna Alexander its long-standing reputation as the Athens sauna of first choice.
