Rhodes, the capital of the Dodecanese, has been luring travelers for decades now with its state-of-the-art 5-star hotels and high-end luxury boutique accommodation

The initial performance of the new Mandarin Oriental hotel at Costa Navarino is particularly satisfactory, says the head of the ultra-luxury hotel management chain in Greece, Raul Levis.

The soaring demand for short-term rentals is gravely affecting the performance of hotels, which has necessitated the need for new regulations and taxes on short-term rentals recently proposed by the Culture and Tourism Ministry, a tourism sector representative has said.

The average nightly rate for short-term rental accommodation in Greece in July and August stands at 232 euros per night, based on confirmed bookings so far.

Residents and passers-by on Vassilissis Sofias Avenue in central Athens have been getting a first taste in recent weeks of the new era of the iconic complex that housed the Hilton Hotel for six decades, as the construction of the frame of a new, independent 1,100-square meter building in the area of the swimming pool has been completed and has immediately started turning heads.

More tourists, more overnight stays, mainly in hotels of a higher category, and a significant increase in the income of hoteliers, reports the National Statistical Institute in February.

Most hotels have opened for the summer vacation season and openings will continue until mid-April. Price increases for the 2023 season range from 40 percent to 125 percent in all-inclusive hotels, the preferred option for families.

Details such as the location of the establishment, its preference and the choice of foreign guests are important factors in the price increases.
