Hotels in Athens and across Greece are experiencing a surge in room
Hotels in Athens and across Greece are experiencing a surge in room prices compared to the same period last year, according to data from Trivago’s online booking index and the Institute for Tourism Research and Forecasts (ITEP). Increased demand, especially as Easter Sunday falls on April 20 for both Catholic and Orthodox celebrations this year, is driving prices slightly higher than in the previous year.
Trivago reports that the average hotel room price in Athens for February reached 123 euros, marking a 6.96% increase from the same month in 2024. However, prices remain stable compared to January 2025.
Athens Ranks Low in European Comparisons
Despite the increase, Athens continues to rank among the more affordable European cities, surpassing only Istanbul and Warsaw, where February’s average hotel rates stood at 105 euros and 103 euros, respectively. Istanbul saw a 7.14% rise in average prices from the previous year, while Warsaw recorded a 5.10% increase.
Across Greece, operational hotels reported an average double-room rate of 83 euros in January 2025, up 6.41% from 78 euros in January 2024, according to ITEP. The average occupancy rate, however, slightly declined from 41% last year to 40% this year.
