170 couples from around the world are gathering on the island of Crete to join the most modern and erotic partner exchange party and experience the idyllic moments that they have dreamt of on the cosmopolitan beach in the northern part of Heraklion.

The fans of the so-called ''swinging'', the new erotic fashion, are members of the SDC club that organizes tourist trips to different countries every year. The couples who will exchange their partners are aged between 25 and 60 years, they are coming to Greece for the first time and will stay five days, enjoying, in an organized manner, all the comforts of this new type of sex tourism that is gaining ground in Greece too.

The VIP guests have booked only for themselves a certain hotel in the tourist area of ​​Stalida that private security has turned into a "fortress", as the conditions of stay include customers' security and complete privacy.

Like kings

The 5-star hotel has adapted its premises for the purpose, promising a glamorous vacation with lots of champagne, lobsters, caviar, salmon fillets and other fine delicacies as well as an evening of Cretan cuisine. All these temptations will be awaiting the club members who will have the opportunity to become familiar with the natural beauty of the island in the meantime.

"We have customers from Brazil, Argentina, Australia, South Africa, Mexico, from all over Europe and around the world. There are eight Greek couples too, four of them from Crete," said the hotel owner. As stated by President of the Association of Hoteliers in Heraklion Nikos Chalkiadakis, these are high-income customers. Experts claim that Crete has the capacity and necessary conditions for the development of a similar thematic tourism.

Meanwhile, the congress hall of the hotel has become a discotheque to allow the 170 couples to have fun. There are four additional bars in different areas of the hotel, including the pool, near the SPA centre, etc. "The contract signed with this hotel is the best. I wish we could have such too," says a hotelier who knows that these things bring a lot of money, much more than ordinary tourists because, as mentioned, the so-called swingers are high-income tourists from Europe, America, Saudi Arabia, but also from Greece, who do not hesitate to pay nearly 1,000 euro per person for a few-days vacation on the island of Crete.

Security

An entire mechanism for ensuring privacy has been developed for this great erotic party, as among other comforts that the so-called swingers want, and for which they generously pay, they seek solitude and want to stay away from prying eyes. According to sources, the club has brought in 40 people who will be responsible for maintenance, monitoring and security.

However, there are different opinions on this new trend in sexual relationships between couples. Is it a new way of life, as has already happened in America? Or is it a total decay of the moral values, dignity and respect between partners? Or maybe a perversion? Whatever it is, the so-called swinging seems to win new fans of sexual partner exchange every day.

This happens either between friends or mainly between members of a swingers club, who are hundreds in number. Usually there are organized clubs where the annual subscription for the services amounts to 750-1,000 euro.

In addition, all who want to join the club must be a couple (a husband and wife), and be proposed by other club members. Their identity, occupation and residence should also be established and there is a requirement associated with the health condition of future members.
