The Greek government is re-evaluating its approach to short-term rentals amid growing concerns over housing availability. Instead of implementing a broad cap on rental days, it is introducing targeted restrictions in highly saturated urban areas, such as central Athens and Thessaloniki. This shift aims to balance short-term and long-term rental ratios locally, based on detailed data down to the postcode level. Additionally, a new tax incentive is being proposed to encourage the conversion of vacant or short-term rental properties into long-term leases, with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expected to unveil these plans at the Thessaloniki International Fair.
