The Greek government proposed a draft plan to regulate short-term rentals like Airbnb. The framework links rental development to the tourism carrying capacity of each destination.
The plan introduces geographical restrictions and operational time limits. Interventions will target islands and areas under heavy tourism pressure.
The proposal increases minimum land size requirements for new tourism developments in popular areas. The government started a consultation period with tourism stakeholders to discuss these provisions.
These measures aim to manage tourism density. Rapid growth in short-term rentals drives current tourism pressure.
