Greece's climate crisis resilience fee in 2026: amounts, collection and filing for hotels, rooms and short-term rentals

Updated 8 November 2026

This guide sums up what applies to the climate crisis resilience fee (τέλος ανθεκτικότητας στην κλιματική κρίση) as of 8 November 2026, for all properties in Greece and especially in the Cyclades, with the sources at the end. It is not tax advice: for a specific case, ask your accountant.

The short answer

The guest pays the fee, per room or unit and per night, and the property collects it with a special receipt, without VAT. Today's basis is Article 44 of Law 5177/2025 and AADE decision A.1202/2024, for stays from 1 January 2025.

Two seasons: April–October (higher amounts) and November–March (lower amounts).
The amounts are the same nationwide: we found no special amount for Santorini, Mykonos, Naxos or Paros.
We found no change in the amounts for 2026 and no announced change for 2027.

Amounts by category (euros per night, Apr–Oct / Nov–Mar)

In force since 1 January 2025 and, as far as we know, unchanged in 2026:

1- and 2-star hotels: 2.00 / 0.50.
3-star hotels: 5.00 / 1.50.
4-star hotels: 10.00 / 3.00.
5-star hotels: 15.00 / 4.00.
Rented furnished rooms and apartments: 2.00 / 0.50.
Short-term rentals: 8.00 / 2.00; detached houses over 80 m²: 15.00 / 4.00.
Self-catering tourist residences: 8.00 / 2.00 under 80 m² and 15.00 / 4.00 from 80 m²; self-catering tourist villas: 15.00 / 4.00.

Collection and receipt

According to AADE's FAQ (February 2026):

The fee is borne by the guest and collected after the stay and before departure.
A special receipt for the climate resilience fee is issued, without VAT; in myDATA it is document type 8.2.
If a stay spans months with different amounts, a receipt is issued for each month.
Private individuals without a registered business who offer short-term rentals are also obliged.
The only exemption we found in official sources is a free-of-charge stay; free nights are declared separately.

Filing and payment

The return is filed electronically every month in myAADE (Tax Services → Fees and Special Taxes):

Deadline: the last day of the month after the receipts were issued.
No nil return is needed for months without stays.
Amended returns: through the «My Requests» application.

Booking, Airbnb and other platforms

We found no official source allowing or obliging the platform to collect the fee. The law and the decision place the obligation on the property operator. If your platform shows the fee as an amount «payable at the property», collection, the receipt and filing remain yours.

Fines

For a late or missing return, Article 53 of Law 5104/2024 (Tax Procedure Code) applies. According to AADE circular E.2059/2025, which names the fee explicitly:

100 euros per violation for those who keep no books (for example a private individual with a short-term rental).
250 euros with single-entry and 500 euros with double-entry books.
For late payment the FAQ refers to Articles 52 and 53 of the Tax Procedure Code; we did not verify the interest rate.

The separate cruise fee

Properties do not pay it: cruise passengers who disembark do (Article 27 of Law 5162/2024 and joint decision 3133.1/45989/2025, from 21 July 2025). In Santorini and Mykonos: 20 euros (June–September), 12 euros (April–May and October) and 4 euros (November–March) per passenger; at other ports 5, 3 and 1 euros. Cruise companies pay it over.

Why this also matters for AI

When a traveller asks ChatGPT or Gemini how much a stay in Naxos or Santorini costs, the AI blends what it finds. If your page states clearly what fee is paid at the property, the answer is more reliable and the guest is not surprised.

How iQuota helps

The official page iQuota publishes for each property shows the final price and the charges paid at the property, with structured data AI assistants read, and takes direct bookings. It does not give tax advice, and we cannot guarantee that an AI will recommend you.
