The growth rate of short-term rental accommodations in Greece is slowing down, especially since the second half of 2025, and its main trends in the last year have been the high seasonality and the dominance of visitors from abroad.<\/p>\n
According to the annual survey by AirDNA, Greece is expected to rise to sixth place in Europe, based on the number of operating accommodations in 2026 \u2013 surpassing Croatia \u2013 which is in a sharp decline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Based on the data, from 2019 to 2025, the increase in the supply of accommodations in Greece is approaching 50%, from approximately 100,000 to 150,000.<\/p>\n
However, as in Croatia, in Greece it seems that the trend has now started downward, with the exception of Athens, and a few other areas where tourism is on the rise (and not mature, such as Crete or the Cyclades). In the fourth quarter of 2025, there was an annual decline of 4.3%.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to AirDNA\u2019s analysis, the largest increases in the supply of accommodations were observed in areas that are considered to be on the rise \u2013 and where tourism is not saturated \u2013 as more and more visitors are looking for such places, both in Greece and abroad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In this context, in 2025, Chios stood out with an increase in supply by 35.2%, as well as Piraeus with an increase of 28.3%.<\/p>\n
A significant increase of 25.4% was also observed in 2025 in the accommodations of Kalymnos, followed by Lesvos with 21.4% and Katerini with 20.4%.\u00a0But in more developed tourist areas, such as Crete, Santorini, Mykonos and Rhodes, the picture is almost unchanged since 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The only exception is Athens, where there was an increase of 11.1% to 14,326 (from 12,886 in 2024) due to the ban on new accommodations in the three districts of the Municipality of Athens, from January 1, 2025 onward.<\/p>\n
