Short-Term Rental in Greece: Airbnb and the Law

Short-term rental has seen tremendous growth in Greece, particularly through platforms like Airbnb.

Legal Framework

To rent short-term, you need an AMA (Property Registration Number) from taxisnet. The process is simple and free.

Taxation

Income from short-term rental is taxed as property income. There are graduated rates depending on income level.

Athens Returns

An apartment in central Athens can yield €2,000-4,000/month through Airbnb, compared to €700-1,200 for long-term rental. The difference is significant.

Management

Managing short-term rentals requires time. There are management companies that handle everything for 20-25% of the rental price.
