December 2024, the Greek parliament approved a bill increasing the daily tax on short-term rental and hotel accommodation. This measure has come into effect for all arrivals January 2025 onwards.

This increase aims to combat climate change and support reconstruction efforts after Greece’s 2023 extreme weather events, building resilience for a sustainable future.

Going forward, the daily tax for hotel and holiday rental accommodation will increase to 15-euros per night during the summer season (2 euros per night for smaller properties).

These changes are seen as a positive step from the Greek Government to generate funding for local communities while also addressing the climate crisis.
