And this summer he is being “hot” for short -term leasing in Greece which continues to do championships.

The latest available data from large short -term leasing platforms such as AIRDNA ​​show that Greece is by far the first country in the Mediterranean and southern Europe in general with a 22% increase in bookings for the summer months compared to last year.

Overall our country is located In the 5th place of the 20 most important European markets with the ranking being shaped as follows:

Poland 37%
Czeching 30%
Norway 27%
Germany-Belgium 24%
Greece 22%

According to the available summer data:

  • The average daily price is estimated at 150 €, increased
  • The fullness is expected at 59%
  • Revenue per night available at 88 €

Summer numbers are a continuation of an excellent April which – and because of Easter – recorded a 30%increase in demand. 15% increased completeness and 10% ads.

So it does not make any impression that accommodation and beds have taken the ascendant by recording significant growth rates.

The accommodation according to SETE statistics in May were on 231,128 versus 217,915 in the same period last year, an increase of 6%.

In addition, the beds have already surpassed April 1m when last year this happened in July, which is a peak month for tourism.

At the end of May, the beds were estimated at 1,038,323 increased by nearly 77,000 or 8% compared to the corresponding month.

As for the average duration of stay has begun to ‘She gets over her’. At the start of the second quarter, in April it stood at 3.7 nights, remaining at the same level as April 2024. In May, the average duration stood at 3.6 nights, showing the first increase for 2025, by +5.9% compared to 3.4 Mids 2024.

As we approach the summer, the mixture of travelers changes. That is, in January we had a ratio of 60% of overseas and 40% local travelers. By May the ratio had become an impressive 92% – 8%.

The more striking all of the above are, the more they show that the government’s restrictions are probably either do not work or should be expanded if we accept that short -term lease is a cause of the housing crisis that plagues the country. The government of course knows all this and in the measures for residential offering shock as the Minister of Finance has described it. Kyriakos Pierrakakisit should be assumed that arrangements will be included that will “touch” the short -term lease for good.
