Greece Budget Hotels and Hostels

There is a range of accommodation available in Greece to suit every taste and pocket. All places to stay are subject to strict price controls set by the tourist police. By law, a notice must be displayed in every room, stating the category of the room and the price charged in each season. It’s difficult to generalise accommodation prices in Greece as rates depend entirely on the season and location. Don’t expect to pay the same price for a double on one of the islands as you would in central Greece or Athens.

Other points to note when considering hotel prices:

  • Prices include a 4.5% community tax and 8% VAT.
  • A 10% surcharge may be added for stays of less than three nights, but this is not mandatory.
  • A mandatory charge of 20% is levied for an additional bed (although this often is waived if the bed is for a child).
  • During July and August accommodation owners will charge the maximum price.
  • In spring and autumn prices can drop by 20%.
  • Prices can drop even further in winter.
  • Rip-offs are rare; if you suspect that you have been exploited make a report to the tourist or the regular police, and they will act swiftly.
