The restrictions and the imposition of new operational standards have this year reduced the number of ‘Airbnb’ accommodation in our country compared to last year, reaching 143,000, while at the same time recording an increase in average price, fullness and demand by 2%. Greece is also among the European markets that record a positive sign of demand, based on overnight stays in May, against the negative European average in short term leases with Greek "hosts" having additional and better financial rewards than last year.
The data come from the analysis of the known data analysis company for short-term leases, the AirDNA and as is apparent for the month of May, the European market has a total demand reduction of 1.1% compared to last year (based on overnight stays), which may also reflect the pressure on the travel public's pockets at this time of economic uncertainty due to the geopolitical factor.

More detailed as the company says "the Greek short-term lease market moved up in May 2026, presenting a better picture than the European average. According to AirDNA data, demand increased by 2% on an annual basis, while a decline of 1.1% was recorded at a pan-European level. At the same time, the offer continued to recede, with available entries being formed at 142,633, reduced by 2.3% compared to May 2025. The combined effect of increased demand and limited supply led to a significant improvement in completeness, which was boosted by 5.4% and reached 58.1%.".
