How much does it cost to rent a property with a sea view in Greece today?

Before the start of the summer season the demand for short-term rental housing in Greece has increased significantly. The main reason tourists have started to prefer private apartments and villas over 5-star hotels is safety. Many visitors during a pandemic are afraid of close contacts with tourists from other countries, which is why they try to limit them.

This season, there is a record increase in demand for such objects. Following an increase in interest in houses and apartments that can be rented for short-term, the number of offers began to grow rapidly. In early 2021 the number of properties that were registered on short-term rental platforms exceeded by 2.5% the number that was observed even before COVID-19. The number of offers continues to grow every day.

Here are some of the objects in Greece that are in demand among tourists:

• comfortable villas with a private pool;
• apartments in the coastal zone;
• country houses.

An interesting fact is that this season there are many offers with no penalty for canceling a reservation after it has been made. Landlords are confident that even under such conditions they will be able to quickly find new guests. At the same time it is noted that such cases are observed infrequently, since the number of objects attractive to tourists is limited.

Current prices for short-term rental housing

Nowadays many tourists are ready to rent comfortable accommodation in the resorts of Greece in order to preserve their health, even if its cost reaches several thousand euros for 5-6 nights. Accordingly, landlords often inflate prices, knowing about such high demand.

Here are a few examples of rental prices in the popular tourist areas of Greece:

• comfortable villa in Chalkidiki with an area of 130 sq. m can be rented for 480 euros per day, which is considered as average for such objects;
• villas in Athens with an area of ​​about 100-200 sq. m are available at prices ranging from 150 to 250 euros per day;
• cottage in Chalkidiki of up to 100 sq. m can be rented for 80 euros per day - this is the cheapest of the options offered;
• apartments in resort regions will cost on average 150 euros per day.

Prices directly depend on the location of the objects, their conditions and other features, as well as the specific period, since under quarantine conditions many factors change quite unpredictably. Therefore, those who wish to rent housing in any of the resorts in Greece should familiarize themselves with current prices and available offers before booking.
