Tourism Ministry Paves Way for Youth Hostels in Greece
With a recent draft bill, the Tourism Ministry is laying the groundwork for the creation of youth hostels in Greece, which will provide cheaper accommodation for young travellers under 26.
The hostels can accommodate students, teachers, professors, visiting professors and visiting scholars and can collaborate with public and private educational institutions. Members of Hostelling International (HI), a federation of over 70 national youth hostel associations in more than 80 countries, will also have access to the hostels.
The hostel services will operate under legislation applicable to all tourism accommodation facilities in Greece.
