Letting in Athens
Rules and licensing
Registration with the AMA short-term rental register is required and the number must appear on listings. New registrations have been restricted in the central districts.
Tourist tax
A per-night climate-resilience levy, banded by accommodation type and season.
How the year is shaped
April to June and September to October are the peaks. Athens also works as a winter city break, which keeps the floor higher than the islands.
Who books here
Short stays, very often one or two nights either side of a ferry to the islands. Proximity to the metro line to the port is worth real money.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
