With a wide range of taxes and a law for holiday homes, Greek attempts on increasing tourism industry seemed to fail. In 2024, the number of housing properties increased by almost 10 %, despite the large amount of fine and extra charge.
In fact, according to AIRDNA data, there was 14 million accommodations from foreign visitors using short -term LETs like Airbnb for 2024 holidays. This has been 2 million since 2023, before Greece began to carry out policies to work on problems caused by overrhythms, such as rental and collapsed public services.
Greek Prime Minister Killiacos Mitotakis will face a new law to be forced to register with the owner of these rental properties in 2024 in 2024. Faced a fine of 20,000 euros. However, despite the concern that popular properties may disappear from Airbnb, the number of holidays is currently considered 1 million.
However, local people suffering from popular destinations such as Athens and small Greek islands continue to convert rental properties to holiday homes, but the landlords of these facilities are more than ever. I make more money from travelers. Tax revenues from short -term landlords increased from 750 million euros to 870 million euros in the previous year.
Greek politicians are taking further actions to remodel local houses and space for the use of tourists, but now a new short -term rental of Athens, such as Coronaki, is now a new short -term rental. It is banned a year. Koukaki, ExARCHIA. This ban was passed by law after the rental of holidays was revealed that the hotel would surpass the hotel two -to -one, but the holidays in a wider country were split evenly.
In addition, laws have been drained to prevent the loss of previous business or industrial real estate for foreign visitors, such as warehouses and basements.
Before introducing the bill, the Minister of Tourism, Orga Kephalodiani, told the Greek broadcaster: “The basement is no longer allowed to be used. The rental space must function as a major residential use area with natural light, ventilation, and air conditioning.
“Because this is a tourist product, we have introduced the minimum operation standards and safety standards,” she said. “Our goal is not only breaking the record every year, but also the long -term and sustainable development of Greece tourism.”
This year, the holiday maker, which is a destination for Greece, will face a higher price this year as a part of the movement of the Greek government from protecting the residents from tourists. Visitors will pay 2 euros a day during the off -season visit and 8 euros between April and October.
The worst influence was the cruise passenger, and the authorities hit 20 euros to get off in the most popular place in Greece, like Suntorini in a picture with a blue hat. Will do. Authorities believe that it can procure 400 million euros from more than twice the movement of 2024.
