Greece imposes year-long ban on new short-term rentals in central Athens

·

The Greek government will impose a one-year ban on new short-term rental licenses in three central Athens districts starting January 1, 2025, to address housing shortages worsened by platforms like Airbnb.

According to dawndigest.com, Greek Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni suggested the ban could be extended, highlighting the strain on the housing market.

Additionally, taxes on short-term rentals will increase, with higher rates during peak and off-seasons, funding climate disaster recovery.

Greece expects record tourism revenue of €22 billion in 2024 and is implementing measures to balance tourism with local needs, including visitor caps on popular islands.
