Every figure below comes from the properties we manage, not from a market estimate: 29,326 stays and 81,374 guests since 2012.
| Market | Average night | Median booking lead | Average stay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athens | €70 | 4 days | 4.1 nights |
| Thessaloniki | €67 | 4 days | 4.1 nights |
| Mykonos | €247 | 23 days | 4.1 nights |
| Santorini | €155 | 34 days | 4.3 nights |
| Crete | €121 | 13 days | 5.3 nights |
| Paros | €147 | 32 days | 4.5 nights |
| Milos | €331 | 23 days | 3.3 nights |
| Skiathos | €134 | 21 days | 4.4 nights |
Averages across everything we have managed in each market since 2012. They describe our own portfolio, not the Greek market as a whole.
These are not variations on a theme. A night in Mykonos costs three and a half times a night in Athens. An Athens booking is confirmed four days before arrival; a Santorini booking, thirty-four. Guests stay 5.3 nights in Crete and 3.3 in Milos.
Everything an owner actually cares about follows from those differences — when the price has to be set, whether a minimum stay helps or hurts, how many turnovers a full month costs, which channel matters. A single national playbook gets each market roughly half right, which is why we run them separately.

What letting a Greek property short-term actually requires, written for someone who does not live here.
A Greek tax number (ΑΦΜ). Nothing can be registered without one. If you bought property in Greece you already have it; non-residents who do not can obtain one through a representative.
A registry number (ΑΜΑ). Every property let short-term must be entered in the Short-Term Stay Registry, and the number it receives must appear on every listing on every platform. A listing without it is not compliant, and the platforms themselves increasingly enforce this. We register the property and place the number where it belongs.
Monthly stay declarations. Filed with the Greek tax authority by the 20th of the following month, every month the property is let. We file them on your behalf, so you never need to operate a Greek-language tax portal from abroad.
The climate resilience fee. Charged to the guest, but collected and remitted by the owner. For 2026 that is €2.00 per night from November to March and €8.00 per night from April to October for apartments and houses up to 80 m², rising to €4.00 and €15.00 for houses above 80 m². We collect it with the booking and remit it on the same cycle as the declarations.
Safety requirements. Since October 2025 short-term lets must carry liability insurance, fire safety equipment, escape signage, pest control and displayed emergency contact details. We tell you what a property is missing before it is listed, rather than after an inspection.
Where the line sits. We file on your behalf; we are not your legal or tax representative. The declarations are submitted for you, the tax position stays yours, and how it is treated depends on how many properties you hold and where you are tax resident. This page is general information, not legal or tax advice.
