Andreas Chiou, President of Greek Property Managers Association, in an interview with Naftemporiki TV spoke about the uncertainty that exists among Airbnb managers.
“Taxes impose significant strain on short-term rentals that there is no hope of staying competitive with our neighboring countries,” Chiou stressed and added:
“Someone does not know whether he should invest in Greece, especially after the implementation of the law that prohibits short-term rentals in the 3 areas of the center of Athens.”

Regarding the Association’s proposals, Chiou said that “we discussed and took the decision, at least as a warning, to close the calendar (i.e. no one can rent) for February until we see the details of this bill.”
The President of the Greek Property Managers Association underlined that “short-term rentals bring 60% of tourists to Greece.”
