    If you like bears and big ages, it is perfect! I didn’t like it! If you more on the fashion/fem side, don’t go! The sauna seemed to be for only 'straight' people.

    If you’re « old » or look « old , » don’t bother seeking this place out ! They only let « young guys » in because it’s too hard for the rest of us to climb the stairs. No elevator to the upper floors. The website makes no mention of this. In our best interest, I guess; BUT could this be age-descrimination??

    Everyone here is 50+ and the facilities are really poor, even after the renovation. If you aren't into old men, I wouldn't recommend it.

    What conflicting reviews above - obviously one of the reviewers is talking through his a** (re old or young visitors). Who needs dopey reviews like this. Had a local guy tell me that Flex is good for the more mature guys, so who do you believe?

    I went there not knowing what to expect and the most incredible thing happened. As I was wondering through the facilities, I happened to realize that I was not Madonna.

    FLEX Sauna

    I tried to enter with my partner, he is Greek (62), and the guy at the register rejected him. The employees are very rude and unfriendly. Tourists of all ages can enter but not elder Greek men.

    I visited the sauna on August 17, 2017. On my way out, staff told me not to go back because I supposedly bothered customers! I shocked. Of course I did not. In my claim to bring them there, those who said this, replied that this is not police. I am a customer there from the first day that sauna opened. I did not expect that they would offend me like that.

    I have to say that most of the negative criticisms are written against Flex sauna is by people who [were removed from] Flex sauna because of offending behavior or is from [a competitor]. Do do not believe anything against Flex sauna it is all lies.

    I go to all the saunas of Athens but the flex sauna is the best! The renovation is perfect! The staff that works is very polite. I really like the roof garden. What are written here against the Flex Sauna sorry but is not true.

    This place is a disgrace for Athens and the gay community. All the staff that works there are straight and very rude. They recently renovated the space and it become worst than it was, and not only that, they raise the entrance fee to 12 euros now, they close at midnight, and also closed some days during the week. Definitely is not worth your time and your money. The steam room usually smells bad every time you enter. I suggest you find another place to have fun

    When it's quiet here, it's not worth the entrance charge. But when it's busy it can be horny! Re. the age thing, I'm 60 and I got in without any problems. What's more, I met another 60-year-old while I was there. Dare I say that neither of us are overweight or unattractive. I think that's what's really going on here at Flex: as it's a sauna for Greek men, they want to keep it sexy and don't want the atmosphere compromised.

    I read in the reviews that older guys are not permitted to enter the Flex sauna. Is this stil true and did you change your policies?

    I will visit Athens mid October and would like to spend some time in FLEX. Unfortunately I'm already 55 and my friend is 70 (but in good shape). Does the Sauna lets us in or are we too old?

    Not very Big but clean and friedly staff. I was there 3 days and people are from 30 y.o to 50 depending on the day. Sometimes there were some very nice guys. The sauna is in the center of the city near tourist attraction and easy to find.

    How humiliating. I was told at reception "this sauna is only for younger men" and was refused admission. It makes one wonder how else they might discriminate? I'll gladly spend my euros and time elsewhere.

    # Clark: that's ok don't let it get to you, not worth it anyway, we just keep our money and spend it where it is most appreciated. we should support more straight people's business - at least they are kinder to older gays, Truth be told, gay men are the most and worst when it comes to discrimination. so I am not sure about where all this "pride" is really coming from. I tell you there is nothing to be proud of being hypocritical towards other gays!!!
